One of televisions most addictive shows, Kiefer Sutherland’s portrayal as Jack Bauer in the TV action/drama ‘24’ has kept audiences stuck to their seats for the last seven series. The programme, which has been running since 2001 has attracted nominations for no less than 58 Emmy Awards.
Recently voted by a significant number of Film and TV fans as one of the top and most compelling shows ever. If you have never watched it, maybe you have been missing some of the best television yo are lickly to see. The story follows the life and actions of the agent Jack Bauer through episodes, which segment 24 hours in the semblance of real time. Throughout the series we have followed agent Jack who works for the US government opposing fictitious terrorist threats. The series has had a number unexpected twist within plots and contains complex interwoven stories presented in fast paced format against the ever-decreasing ticking clock of 24 hours.
Allowing tragic events to occur for the sake of the common good has been a recurring theme thought out the whole series. The employment of torture or threats of torture to extract information from the ficticious criminals and terrorists has been sited as one of the reasons for its immense poularity. As season 8 starts to broadcast this month. rumours are already abound that Fox is negotiating Season 9, news that fans of the programme will be pleased to hear.
After conclusion of the the current series (series 8) 24 will become the longest running action/drama/espionage series in television history. All we can say is Agent Jack keep doing what you do best, we look forward to season 9.
