I chipped at the first three seasons, but I bought season 1 at a sale and decided to sit down and try to figure it out. I got through all 24 episodes in a Thursday to Sunday session. It was looooooong! I wanted to examine the cultural and political aspects of the thing. So many people were getting the vapors over this series and even the pols were touting the merit of Jack Bauer.

I wrote a previous rather nasty review at http://www.rateitall.com/i-4779-24.aspx. I really don't back down from that although I admit that I did not watch EVERY episode in the first three seasons before I wrote that review. I give 24 a three in this review as I am in a good mood today.
