I think it's obvious, there are SPOILERS below if you haven't watched all of the seasons yet.

Haven't seen any of season six yet.
I watched all the seasons in order, but after watching the rest, season 1 seems pretty weak. It just got annoying...kim gets kidnapped, gets out, gets kidnapped again, and so on. Then there's sherry (i have no clue how people actually liked her) who keeps battling palmer about what's best for the family in nearly every episode. I'm surprised how I made it through the season. It did have a few highlights though.

Season 4 started off weak. I understand they were trying to keep viewers clueless as to what was going on, but it never felt like there was any immediate danger. Also, the guy who played marwon did a horrible job, imo. He just didn't convince me... I really can't explain it much better.

Season 3 wasn't bad, but the writers of 24 exploited their same old plot lines with just different twists and characters--moles in ctu (which turned to be false alarm) and the kidnapping of an agent's wife (in this case, michelle). This season offered nothing new in my opinion, and it was kind of a let down.

I liked season 5 simply because of the "conspiracy theory" aspect. Even before the truth about logan was revealed, I got the sense that it wasn't over after cummings was killed. Aside from a few plotholes, this season was nearly the best.

And season 2 was the best just because it actually conveyed the dire threat. There's so many things that make this season good.

Actually Sutherland signed on for another season or two. This isn't the last season.

Where is the "Jack Bauer is a badass so I vote for all seasons" option?

Was Season 4 about Marwan? It was THE worst season ever. The only remotely good thing about that season as a) the Behrooz family and b) Jack faking his own death. Other than that, the whole season was chasing Marwan.

I say Season 1 and 5 have to be tied for the best. Logan and Martha were simply amazing in S5.

It's a matter of opinion really... I like the new season.

The new season is great but waaaaay too predictable. Plus the new cast is a big letdown in my opinion. 24 has become one big show of Murphy's Law.

Season 5 however, was great. Or maybe it's just because I'm a sucker for political injustice.

Now that I've seen the first five seasons I pretty much fully agree with you. I hear 6 is pretty bad, but I think I'm gonna start watching it anyways.
