The show has distilled TV drama into pure entertainment. Simplicity at its finest.January 17, 2010

Fox's 24 is a little creaky getting out of bed to start its eighth season. But once it wakes up, it reminds us that no current TV show is better at action-adventure.January 17, 2010
This 24 seems more realistic than usual, and it offers many exciting moments.January 17, 2010

The show brought theatrical-caliber action production values to the small screen, which may be more common now but was remarkable when it debuted.January 17, 2010
Four immensely enjoyable hours.January 17, 2010
