    Continues to be a great show. The only show that I refuse to miss. Kiefer's acting has been first rate, especially in episode 7 on 2-5.

    This show continues to surprise and delight. Kiefer Sutherland's portrayal of a beaten down Jack this year only adds to the depth of the show. For those who believe that the show is a neo-con fantasy...consider this...all of the torture, Muslim-profiling, and oppressive policy decisions are portrayed as a bad option and usually extreme measures are thwarted.

For those who believe that the show is a neo-con fantasy...consider this...all of the torture, Muslim-profiling, and oppressive policy decisions are portrayed as a bad option and usually extreme measures are thwarted. If the show was indeed a neo-con fantasy, there would never be the consequences of torturing suspects, or struggles with ethics of detaining millions of Muslims. We are rooting against Lennox this year remember. If the show was consistent with FOX's news channel however, Lennox would be the hero. Think about it. This show actually shows theoretical negative consequences to extreme measures that reduce civil liberties. I just had to say that because this show is unbelivably good and that associating political intentions with the network that 24 is on is narrow-minded and not rooted in fact. 24 is the best show on television.

    The writers began reaching their prime in Season 4. Last season was the best, and so far this season has just been amazing, definitely showcasing why Kiefer is the best actor on television period.

    Easily the best show on TV. Every episode is action packed. Of course it's not realistic, but that's OK.

    Best tv show in the history of television. It goes beyond just being just the "best show" on tv - it is several levels beyond the competition. For the most part, it goes beyond anything that has been done on film as well. Quite simply, 24 is a one-of-a-kind phenomenon.

    This is by far the greatest drama on t.v. today, even though it tends to lack some realism, each hours give you more suspense than the last, you can't stop watching even if you try.

    The true 24 worshipers are willing to accept certain implausibilities because we love the show so much...Jack Bauer getting to that house in Inglewood in a 1975 Oldsmobile Cutlass way in advance of the 2 helicopters that had a head start..ok, maybe the only available helicopters were called in from Iraq so it took them a little longer...but then they actually showed people in L.A. using The true 24 worshipers are willing to accept certain implausibilities because we love the show so much...Jack Bauer getting to that house in Inglewood in a 1975 Oldsmobile Cutlass way in advance of the 2 helicopters that had a head start..ok, maybe the only available helicopters were called in from Iraq so it took them a little longer...but then they actually showed people in L.A. using the subway!

    Better than going to a movie and more comfortable. The action, suspense and new characters add a great deal of "must see tv" to this program.

    One hour a week is never enough. As to the newspaper critics -- who is asking for realism? Excess can entertain.

    Far from taking anything away from the pulse-pounding show, thanks to Kiefer Sutherland’s magnetic performance, Bauer’s subtle psychological anguish may be the most interesting surprise of “24’s” new season.
  2. 80
    Where does that leave Season 6, then, when the show has stemmed major disasters for five years running and its intensity level of choice is 11? As well-oiled as before, actually, and, judging from the four hours airing over Sunday and Monday, unafraid of edging its parallel-universe America ever closer toward a world war nightmare of mass hysteria.
  3. Unlike most serialized dramas of late... "24" continues to do everything right.
