There are many fans of the hit series “24.” Since Jack Bauer hit the screen in late 2001 and began fighting crime for the citizens of America, people have watched the show in droves. Indeed, while on the air, 24 became one of the most popular TV shows of all-time. Millions more people tuned on with each passing season to see what Jack was up to next.
Working for C.T.U. (Counter Terrorist Unit), Bauer was faced with many national threats which had to be solved within a 24 hour time-frame. Being in real time was one of the most interesting things about the show, proving not to be just a silly gimmick as some might have thought before actually giving the show a chance.I found some more information here.
As the seasons of 24 progressed, Jack Bauer started to come off as more and more of a superhuman type. This kind of writing caused the show to take a dip in ratings towards the end of its run. It is very possible that by season 6, the show had run its course, even for most of the diehard fans. Thankfully, the final season brought back some of the original atmosphere of the first few seasons, bringing many people back to witness the end of an era.
Was it one season too many on 24? Probably, but at least the final moments were true to the series.
