In some cases, the show is black and white. The bad guys are clearly bad, the good guys are clearly good, and therefore actions like torture (more likely to be supported by conservatives) are justified within the context of the show. 24 is definately too complex and balanced to label it politically, in any case.

So what's with this "24" show anyway? What's so good about it? Isn't it a 24-episode series annually following the life of this Jack Bauer character one hour per episode? Who wants to watch someone's life one hour at a time in real time, culminating in one day over 24 weeks? Do I have the premise right? Is there more to it? Is his life just *that* interesting? Just curious.

The show can be pretty intense and addictive. If you ever have an interest in watching it, I'd rent the 1st season and go from there. Not that you couldn't start watching now but it might be confusing as to who the people are. Actually renting it is great because you don't have to wait a whole week for the next hour
