Man, I dunno. I absolutely loved, LOVED 24. I got the DVD set for Season 1 for my birthday this year and watched the whole thing in a few days, almost nonstop. Absolutely brilliant.
The problem with me and TV is that I don't watch a lot of it so I never remember when something is on that I want to watch, and I end up missing it. And you really can't do that with a show like 24, where each episode hinges heavily on the one(s) that came before.
I caught the first episode of Season 2 before seeing all of Season 1, and I have to say it ruined the big surprise for me at the end, and that was a bummer. Although I was on the edge of my seat to see how it'd happen, and each time I kept thinking "this is it, this is it, this is it" and no payoff. Not until the very last episode did it happen and man. THAT'S freakin' sinister writing. (I'm trying not to spoil this for anyone who hasn't seen it, viewers probably know what I'm referring to.)
I gotta say that 24 is the only TV show that I've ever watched and been surprised and shocked, and uttered "Oh my God!" without realizing that it was out loud. I can do nothing but gush about this show. =)
Looking forward to the Season 2 set, although I've been hearing it's not so good. Hopefully Season 3 will pick up the slack and be like, awesome and a half to make up for it.
