24 Seasons 1-8 8/10-- Just spent the last 2 months watching from Season 1 through 8, I only watched Season 8 prior to this. Just excellent TV right through. There are a few niggles along the way, but most of them work themselves out satisfactorily.
Season 7, for eg, seemed to be too focused on Torture: Good vs Bad, by the time the Season finished it didn't seem near as Political on the subject as it earlier appeared it was going to get, thus sparing the audience of some kind of Political diatribe on the subject. I'm personally against Torture and 24 uses it throughout the Series, especially at CTU which seemed to resort to it like Coffee in the morning, but because it is Fictional it didn't bother me much.
What has been learned from 24:
1) Jack Bauer is always right!
2) Jack Bauer knows how far he needs to go to get Information out of you, he just needs to look deeply into your eyes for a few seconds first.
3) Jack Bauer is "so sorry".
4) Jack Bauer's Chicks Die or become Vegetables
5) You can't kill Jack Bauer, so don't even try. The more you make him whince, the more cruel your death becomes
6) Jack Bauer is your Hotline to the President, especially if you need a Pardon
7) CTU is the least secure facility on the Planet
8) CTU always has an Enemy Plant working within it
9) A 9/11 equivalent or greater attack occurs on US Soil every couple years
10) US Presidents are lucky to leave Office Alive or at least in a non-Vegetative state and even if they do Violent Death is always imminent.
