24-Why is it soooo addictive!

I dont watch TV really, a couple of hours a week usually, but we have recently got the 24 boxsets in at work. I had seen 4 and 5 and am watching 6 at present on TV. I swear ive not watched so much TV in about a year, I got season 2 on monday and had it watched by Tuesday, then took Season 3 out on wednesday and im currently watching the last disk. Have to admit though that season 2 kinda spoils season 1 which i havent seen yet.

Just season 1 left then i will have watched 3 seasons in the space of 6 days, and im not even beginning to get sick of them! I call it Baueritis and its a serious problem

I just borrowed Season 5 from a friend and although I didn't really enjoy it that much, I couldn't stop watching it. I must've watched all 24 in the space of around five days.

Contemplating Season 6 now...

At least for the 5th Season they changed the DVD menu design so there aren't any spoilers. For one of the them- either 2 or 3- on the episode selection menus they'd have pictures of Jack holding a gun to someone's head or a lead character dead at the bottom of some stairs :rolleyes:

Gotta admit that is annoying, i ended up just hitting play all so i didnt have to see the images.

If you're bothered, 3's arguably the best and if you liked 1 then it's worth a shufty

I'm bored of 24 now. It's the same thing over and over and there are much better series out there. The writers reckon they're doing something completely different for season 7 so hopefully that will improve things.

Season 2 is great! :eek:

1-5 was good, but 6 is just BAD END OF, hopefully they will make it good again in 7.

Same with me, I have watched season 6 but got rather bored a few weeks ago.

Watched them all so far. 3 & 4 were by far the best. Season 5 had the potential to be fantastic, but got a little too much focus on Logan and his craziness.

Season 6 was incredible upto episode 6, got a little boring, but starting to pick up again.

Only problem I find is it's so predictable. Jack ALWAYS goes rogue, he's alays suspended and there's always some leak/break-in in CTU.

Still good show though.

Only too true! Season 6 seems to be exactly like this - the whole thing of someone breaking into CTU at some point and jack going rogue etc ... it's just as if those elements are hardwired into any script which is written for the show
