24 - Season One

I'm sure everyone who watches any TV has heard of the FOX TV series 24. The show follows 24 consecutive hours in the life of Jack Bauer, an LA counterterrorist agent. Each season is a full 24 hours, no bathroom breaks (that we see) or naps. It may seem a little weird when you hear it, but after you start watching, the show sucks you in. The action continuously rises for the first 12 hours of show, which is amazing. The show is great at building tension and holding the viewer hostage as much as the characters.

Sunny, Yono, Jackson and I split the DVD for Season One for a pretty low price at Walmart, and then proceeded to watch the entire season in about 36 hours. If we has timed it better we could have done it 24 hours, since it was only about 20 hours of video (commercials removed). It was quite an experience. We didn't want to stop after each one, even though we were pretty tired at various points. Although it didn't leave a lasting impression on me like some other show/movies, it was some of the best television I've seen. I highly recommend you give it a watch sometime if you haven't seen it.
