Last night the final two hours of Jack Bauer’s sixth day came to an end and even though this season wasn’t the best despite an assassination attempt on President Wayne Palmer, a nuclear bomb going off in downtown Los Angeles and the introduction of Jack’s brother and father(!), this television drama still provides top entertainment and suspense.
I simply adore 24 and yes, you do get the occasional plot-twist that seems a bit over ambitions but the unique nature of the ‘real-time’ element with the stylish split-screen effects keeps me hook with every new episode.
And with the news that CTU Agent Jack Bauer (Emmy Award-winner actor Kiefer Sutherland) will be back into action with two more seasons – according to a report on CNN – then that’s great for fans of the show.
Though I really hope it retains its edge of proving good storylines and character development as season five and six are considered to be quite patchy…
Even the executive producer of 24, David Fury, revealed that the show’s quality suffered due to repetition. But I have high hopes that day 7 and 8 (plus the much anticipated movie) will return to good form and we will see the man who doesn’t go to sleep or take comfort breaks is back to kick some terrorists ass in the next two years!
