Because…
- Really superb actors bringing absolutely everything to the table.
- Possibly the best Jack/Chloe scenes the show has ever had.
- In most episodes the story takes a huge leap forward, the tension never lets up, and there are many pivotal character moments.
- Action and storytelling. Thrilling and shocking at every turn.
- Kate Morgan proves to be a very likeable character. A worthy partner/successor to Jack Bauer.
- No other show can deliver unbearable tension, kickass action and a doozy of a twist ending almost every week.
- Relentlessly violent (sometimes quite vicious).
- 24 can do things that no other show can even touch.
- A tapestry of storylines suddenly converge with devastating effect.
- Effortlessly the show reinvents itself, brings new villains into the fold and makes (former) subplots the whole raison d’être of the season.
- 24 NEVER backs away from a sad ending. And that amazing William Devane scene in the closing minutes of the season was one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen anywhere.
