People say that the acting was bad, but I really bought into it. It was the first time I really got absorbed by a plot of this kind, and I took everything very seriously. For some reason, for instance, it seemed completely believable to me that the arab family who were a terrorist sleeper cell had a deeply felt wish to carry out their acts of terrorism. The story was so comprehensive that it seemed actually to be insightful into how things would happen in real life. I wasn't taking aback by silly plots or countless twists, and I've enjoyed every season so far. Granted, the first season seemed to be the one with the strongest story, but every season was special, and there were some interesting persons to follow. Because of the intensity of the acting, it's also more exciting to see the women on the show. I really enjoyed the femme fatale who blew up the airplane in season one (basically got me hooked), or the young women turned terrorist in another season and Nina Meyers seemed filled to the brink with personal intricacies and mystery. Beautiful like Jack's daughter and Michelle Dessler even got to have something more than a pretty face as well. Even all the feel-good buddy-moments between president Palmer and Jack work as I bought into the president persona presented. I don't consider myself easily entertained, but I definitely enjoy 24. I remember watching one of the episodes of season 3 or 4 on TV at random before I started on the series, and it seemed random and boring. So, at first, I was very sceptical about watching the series when my brother bought the DVD for season 1, but the femme fatale who blew up the airplane enticed me to watch on, hoping for more good stuff. Got completely caught up on the story, and it was exhilarating to watch 8-9 episodes in a row, with the volume on the TV near maximum. Was hard to stop watching because of the cliffhanger style that the series uses. Yet, as long as we get a full season 8, I can accept the series coming to a stop as well. After watching season 7, I feel like the series has possibly exhausted its plot and the the good things might be fading or becoming trivial. | ||
