Holy mother of network television!!!! When someone says that a show is 'unmissable' 24 is the epitome of 'unmissable'. If you miss one episode no amount of 'previously on' voice-overs will catch you up. Keifer Sutherland is Jack Bauer, director of the Los Angeles unit of CTU (Counter-Terrorist Unit), there is an assasination threat against a persidential candidate, Jack's daughter has snuck out and his wife has gone looking for her. The action takes place in real time cutting between the CTU, Kim Bauer's night on the town and the headquarters of Senator David Palmer. This is a tense, totally engaging, quickly paced and almost believable thrilling drama. Watch it. ALL!!!!
