24 Gets off to an Amazing Start

I tend to use the word “amazing” way too liberally and way too often, but today I mean it. Even though I had been unfortunately spoiled for a few plot points (thank you, stupid internet), I still found myself entirely shocked by the episode-ending moment. For those of you who have not seen this season yet (and believe me, it is entirely possible to pick up right here without seeing the other seasons, so don’t think you’ll catch up later), I’ll try my best to be spoiler-free on this season, though I will be referring openly back to other seasons. Here are a few spaces for you if you plan to not continue.

So, last season, Jack took down the President. Where could they possibly go after doing something that ridiculously awesome? Why, back to good ol’ terrorism, of course. By which I mean without it 24 wouldn’t have any action, not that terrorism is actually a good thing. But this is definitely a good season so far, with Jack and company doing their best to take down the terrorists. Just wait until you see how Jack escapes captivity! (Hope that’s not too much of a spoiler for you, but you know he has to…) I promise you’ll enjoy every single minute of this show if you just give it a try.
