This is one of the smarter series that I have watched in recent history. Some rather wooden acting casts a pall over what is generally decent writing but the second season rather misses out on the impact of the first season, and cheap cop outs and episodic miniplots tend to make watching tiring after a while, but as a whole, I believe Television would be poorer without this series. I still find it hard to shake the visions of Jack Bauer every time I see Kiefer Sutherland, but I find myself rooting for the President, Tom Kirkman all the more.
Definitely worth a watch or two.
Acting 3.5/5
Plot 3.5/5
Addictiveness 5/5
