Quotes:
George Mason: Believe it or not, I used to want to be a teacher. A long time ago. You know why I didn't? DOD offered me more money. That's how I made my decision. So I made myself miserable. And I made everybody else around me miserable. For an extra five thousand dollars a year. That was my price.
Michelle Dessler: I'm sorry.
George Mason: You know, Michelle, I'm not a big advice giver, but under the circumstances... Don't wait around for your life to happen to you. Find something that makes you happy, and do it. Because everything else is all just background noise.

Exciting, Easy To Follow, Simple, But Brilliant, 11 September 2007
10/10
Author: Harley-Quinn16 from United States

This show is genius. I have been watching it since it's first season in 2001. Ever since, I have been anticipating one season after another. Not every season has been completely up to scratch, but I think that the seasons preceeding them have earned our trust in the makers to bring it back to its best. For example, the latest season, season 6, was, in my opinion, not as good as the others. But as I said, the producers have earned my trust as a viewer, to believe in them to bring back the old 24.

The acting is fantastic, and incredibly real. The characters are very much personable, and I feel I can relate to most, if not all, of the story lines. Each season is explosive and full of suspense and action. I remain faithful to 24, to bring us our fix of action, violence and suspense, and I personally cannot wait for the 24 movie.

I would recommend this show to pretty much anyone. My sister watches it, my dad does, and most of my friends watch it. It's not your typical action thriller show, because it contains real life stories. For example, Kim Bauers story in season 1. Most people can relate to at least one of the characters in one way or another, and it is by no means difficult to understand. It is not pretentious either, which is what I would call many other action films or TV shows. It is for everybody. Obviously violence and a little bit of language may get in the way for some younger or easily offended viewers, but I have yet to meet someone who has not been hooked on this show from the very first episode they watch. A strong, and easy 10 out of 10.

Jack Bauer for president!!
