Advantages: Fantastic show Disadvantages: Needs to move forward
Just as 24 the game hits the shelves telling the story between seasons 2 and 3, I thought I'd give season 4 a once over.

Season Four sees the US come under attack from terrorists. Their first move is to kidnap the secretary of defence and make him stand trial live on the Internet.

Jack is back in the field despite his past relationship ...

...i happen to be watching 24 season 4. last week i was watching season 3, which is my all time favourite...action packed, filled with tension, and the amazing Idea of having the show follow real time, are just some of the things that this Show bring.
-Plot-
Each episode is about what happens in that hour of a certain horrific day - day 4 - 1.am - 2.am is just an example of what it would say.
