24 has become a phenomenon among fans. This is no understatement. In all of my years of watching TV, I have never come across a more rabid and crazy fan base than those who watch 24. Jack Bauer has become this insane folk hero, who somehow remains a moral figure, even after he rips peoples necks off with his teeth. The Bauer cult is not only created in an ironic manner, but is also born out of legitimate enjoyment. No one could argue, really, that 24 is a bad show. There are those who aren’t fans, and this is understandable. However, at the very, very least, you have to admit that the production values and the show’s ability to continually keep up suspense is incredible. The sheer pacing of each and every episode is breathless art. Each episode feels like the climax of a great action movie; most are even better than that.The downside for the producers of 24 is that they have to keep pushing further and further every season. You would think that the scope couldn’t get any bigger, the threat more dangerous, but the show does this year in and year out. Maybe it’s only sustainable through this season, but I’m guessing not. This is the kind of faith that the producers have earned. Whenever, as a viewer, you expect greatness, then you know you;re watching something special.Jack Bauer is now getting involved with his family. This was going to happen eventually; we all had to realize it. Some are saying that this plot line may end up pushing the show into irrelevance, but I disagree. This is simply another frontier, another venue for which 24 has chosen to succeed within.
