Lets Catch Up With Jack Bauer in 24 - Day 1

But why should you spend your weekend catching up on a show that has ended. What is it about 24 that you must see when there are more current shows on television today? To answer this question we will take you back to the 80s and nineties, back to the days of classic shows like Dallas, Falcon Crest, Dynasty and others. To this day we still want to know who killed JR in Dallas. It was an unforgettable drama and few have ever come close to it until the arrival of 24.

What is it about 24 - Day 1 that makes it so great? It begins with Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland ) as the all American hero whose day starts off badly and ends badly as the fallout from a mission in Kosovo two years ago catches up with him. A terrorist with a mission to kill Jack in revenge also wants the US President dead and thus begins his worst day. Time flies as family relationships go wrong, as wife and daughter become kidnap targets. The president who happens to be having his own bad election day and family issues accuses Jack of trying to kill him. Intertwined in this show are tales of greed, corruption, betrayal, murder, family breakdown revenge and every other vice and human frailty that you can think of. It is displayed at a fast pace that will leave you glued to your plasma and unable to get up and go to work. 24 has run its course of 8 series but what sticks out and what singles out the drama as one of the best on tv is the way the first series tackles the subject of terrorism, how one man fights against all odds and selflessly puts himself and his family at risk. It is about how Jack Bauer despite being an ordinary guy can transform himself into an avenging angel that delivers on his promises to serve and to protect.

There is so much that happens in season 1 of 24 that it is impossible to tell you all about it. The day finally ends in disaster. Jack's wife dies, murdered by a close colleague and all this after he kills all the terrorists, saves the presidents life while in a rage over the thought that his daughter had died. Jack Bauer sacrifices his family and himself for his country and he evolves as the last person who will be called when push comes to shove for the counter terrorist team. This show is an absolute must see because its not the end for Jack as he powers through 8 seasons of 24, past 24 Redemption and into 24 the movie coming soon in 2012. Your chance to catch up on Kiefer Sutherland's 24 is now.
