Its an excellent series, where currently upto Hour 15 or 16 in the 2nd series.

I recommend you get the Series 1 DVD box set, to get to know some of the current characters.

That's going a bit far, isn't it? Buying the DVD before you even know if you like it! :)

I've never watched it :) I was going to watch it, but I mised the first episode and I could never be bothered catching up after that :D I think I'll download them off the internet one of these days, probably during my 10 week summer holiday :smokin:

I think it's excellent, although I don't think season 2 is as good as the 1st.

I also wish they would kill Kim. DIE KIM DIE! She is sooo stupid & annoying....

24 one of the better programmes on TV at the moment.
I like the way it is presented with the split screens and in Real time.

I highly reccomend getting series one dvd set or seeing series one before watching the second series as it will begin to nag at you that you're missing something. I have missed 2 weeks and am suffering withdrawal symptoms.

Great program. 24 and State of Play make a great Sunday night in.

Totally agree with the comments about Kim though - she is a walking liability How did she survive series 1?!?

I agree with you about Kim, I voted in the poll on the BBCs official site for her not to be in S3, she is just a huge distraction to the main plot.

I still can't complain about that white vest episode, though. :naughty:

I absolutely love "24". Its excellent. Since the bomb was found, the tension has waned a little, but its now descending into a drama, rather than an action drama. Not bad nescessarily, but bad for action junkies who like to see Jack beat people up. One thing I like about "24" is that it doesnt descend into James Bond style over dramatism.

I cant wait to finish watching it, and move onto season 1.

Come on FHM... Give us Kim Bauer, Kate and Marie Warner 3some on your next cover :eek: :)

She serves no purpose at all. I tape 24 now, so that I can fast-forward through any Kim scenes. I can't stand her. How many times now has she been kidnapped / gone on the run / got into some other trouble.....Totally ridiculous, & totally irrelevant to the main story.

But, yes, the white vest was good.

Every episode watched... but I don't like the Sunday night slot... it's the only time I get to go to the pub!

Think it'll be hard to have Kim as a main character in the next series, as you if she get in trouble again in the next series when there is some sort of emergency it'll just be taking the ****

Have to agree, 24 is the best thing on TV right now.........

I've watched it from the off, season 1, now season 2, but sometimes I find it so annoying, like sunday's episode...............

I won't say as I watch the next episode on BBC3 and wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone who may not have watched it yet, but it is still gripping stuff...........

You don't know you're alive, sonnymiladd ... wait 'til you get to uni and allyour exams are three hours long.

Sheesh, did I post that? I'm rapidly becoming an old git.

And I don't even like 24.

I missed the first few episodes and it's too difficult to catch up, I don't have a clue whats going on. I'll get the dvd, and for now, watch Six Feet Under!
