TV: 24 (TV series): Your rankings

[Lshap]

Because of this thread it got me craving Jack and 24 again and i got my gf to watch the first season with me.

I didn’t remember much going in aside from the big twist at the end but man what a ride again!

We start season 2 tonight!

Enjoy! I was hooked from the first episode almost 20 years ago, and the show remains one of my all-time favourites.

Personal anecdote: our twin boys were one-year old when the show first started. I'll always remember 24 as our weekly sanctuary from the bedlam. We got the kids to bed, prepared dinner and shut off the world for an hour every week watching Jack Bauer.

You probably don’t think I could force this towel down your throat, but trust me I can. All the way. Except that I’d hold onto this little bit at the end. When your stomach starts to digest the towel, I pull it out. Taking your stomach lining with it. Most people probably take about a week to die. It’s very painful.

Rewatching it right now....one of the best series ever imo. Jack Bauer is a badass. Best villian was Ramon Salazar.

Ah, I was all excited they were bringing this back when I saw the thread back.

One of the best series of all time.

Best tv series of all-time. Jack Bauer is the greatest fictional character of all-time.

Best seasons were 2, 4 and 5 - and first half of season 7 is also fantastic. Other seasons had great moments too, just depends. 6 is probably the only one I found disappointing, but it's still a fun watch, just not as good when re-watching it.

It's on Hulu in the US if anyone are interested. Not sure about CA.

I've never understood the love for Season 5 that so many have. As far as villains go, the main one that season was such a spineless cowardly weasel that it was hard to take it seriously.

This is actually the line and scene that hooked me.

24 was my favorite show. I was immediately hooked from the very first episode.

He didn't?

No he didn't. He was in multiple seasons afterward.

Started binging this the last couple days. It is alright but super predictable and has not aged that well. It does provide action in every episode with not a whole lot of boring filler. I get that she is a teenager but god damn is the daughter severely stupid. I think I am 13 episodes in and will continue to watch.

Just finished season 1. Holy f*** was that whole amnesia part stupid. How did that car magically slide down the hill, how did it blow up and how does seeing that give you amnesia? Also the whole underground prison thing was lazy as f***. There is only one way in the prison so Bauer and all the guards all split up and go to random spots of the prison to defend it? I was expecting to see some cool hallway shootout, but nope all the lights go out and the bad guys magically get to Bauer. Reminded me of that game of thrones battle between the white walkers and the Dothraki where they just make it pitch black and don’t actually show anything because its easier than showing a battle.

Other than that it was alright I guess. Will probably start season 2 later.

Kim has the absolute stupidest sideplot in season 2. It is hilariously bad.

Season 2 is the best season though.

Unrelated, but I'm glad I finished 24 before I ever started watching Always Sunny. Don't think I could look at Chloe the same.

 

[hangman005]

I finally finished the first season last week. I had seen bit's here and there but never a full epsidoe. Enjoying it so far.... season 2 too.

One of the McPoyles is in season 2. One of the guys that bomb CTU
