I didnt watch any of 24 on the TV but my boyfriend recommended it to me and ever since that day i have been hooked. This is the best TV show i have ever seen and am totally addicted. This box set of all 3 seasons was expensive but well worth the money. I think i watched all 3 seasons in the space of 2 weeks and considering how many episodes there are, that is alot of TV viewing.

Each season takes a look at terrorist threats. Jack Bauer played by the brilliant Keifer Sutherland works at CTU 'counter terrorist unit'. Each series takes place over 24 hours so each episode equates to 1 hour. It is up to CTU on each doomed day to save the US from terrorist activity.

Lets take a breakdown look at each season;

Season 1 - Information is leaked to CTU informing them that there is a terrorist plot to assassinate David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert) who is running for president. On the same day Kim Bauer (Elisha Cuthbert) Jacks daughter is kidnapped. Also is someone in CTU working against them?

Season 2 - A nuclear weapon is set to go off on American soil and Jack takes it upon himself to find and destroy the weapon before it kills millions.

Season 3 - 'This time the terror is contagious'. Terrorists deliver a deadly message to CTU letting them know that they have a virus that they will unleash upon America.

These series has to be the most groundbreaking, memorable and fantastic television. I cant tell you how brilliant they actually are. The acting is superb, the scripts the best i have ever seen and the sets are wonderful

My only complaint is that there is not enough hours in the day!!!

I very much doubt it is the best TV show ever LOL but I can tell you are very enthusiastic about it. It certainly makes a change from some mindless TV we have these days.
