Holy shit what a show! 
It was one of the most exhilerating and red-hot seasons of any show i've ever had the pleasure of witnessing. I simply could not stop, I had to know what happened next, who kidnapped Kim and Terry and why? Would Jack get to them in time? Who wants Sen. Palmer dead?
The character of Jack Bauer quickly won me over and I found myself rooting for his exploits in the same way I root for John McClane in the Die Hard series or Indiana Jones. As he worked his way through a seemingly never ending sea of scumbags I was cheering him!
The real-time format sucked me in and every moment of every episode was infused with an urgency that I rarely get from movies let alone TV shows, with each tick of that ominous yellow digital clock the tension mounted reaching an almost fever pitch leading up to it's breathless, and heartbreaking, final hour. No episode or moment was wasted, it maintained the same level of excellence throughout which I thought impossible before, even my most favorite shows have a dud here and there, this did not.
The acting, production design, directing, writing, you name it, were all of the utmost quality.
I know i'm late to this party but i'm here now and you can bet your arse that i'm here to stay, I can't wait to get season two and watch Bauer and co. get relentlessly shit on for another day.
