24 season 1 overview
I watch this series due to my friends reccomendaton. ive heard about this show around year 2001 but at that time im at USM penang so i didnt have much time to watch tv. i bought the 1st season(of course the pirate version ^^) as experimenting the new style of the show that is to bring a time in the movie equal to the actual life time.
Staring:
1. Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer
2. Leslie Hope as Teri Bauer
3. Elisha Cuthbert as Kim Bauer
4. Dennis Haysbert as Senator David Palmer
5. Sarah Clarke as Nina Myers
Summary:
Jack Bauer, a former Delta Force operator is the Director of the Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) in Los Angeles. He has to fight some enemies as his wife, Teri and his daugther are kinapped by some mercenaries who try to involve Jack in Senator David Palmer assasination by forcing him to do it. As proffesional, Jack faces a dilemma as he must protect Senator David Palmer while also try to free his wife and daughter. Unfortunately, his effort is being stabbed in the back by his former lover Nina Myers (i love her character ^^) as she acctually is a spy in the CTU, working for terrorist. The terrorist main objective is to kill the oprative who were sent to kill Victor Drazen in kosovo 2 year prior to the event time frame. During the operation, Drazen was not revealed but his wife and daughter were inadvertently killed. Why Bauer and Senator Palmer? Because they are believed as the remaining operatives still alive and retaliation shall be done. CTU as a vital unit for country plays important role to counter the terrorist although it inevitably has been taken advantages by the terrorist.
Personal opinion:
This is a very unique experience of a tv show that have a same timeline with the actual reallife. Thats not the only the strong point of the series btw. The story line is so intense as the story goes on make u feel want to stay to watch the show. U have to be patient if u watch this on tv. if u have free time, i would recommend u watch it through DVDs. The main chracter - Jack Bauer is very strong character that make the show is realy interesting. u will have no idea what jack will doing to obtain his objective. 
my rating - 9.5/10
