Season 1 & 2 was good but then???
The first season of 24 had us hooked after a few minutes into the first show. In spite of a few weak spots here and there, and a handful of inconsistencies that are easier to pick up when you watch all 24 episodes in a sequence, the series is highly addictive.
The proposal is quite attractive: each episode (one hour, minus commercials time=roughly 45 minutes) equates to one hour of real time in the story. At the end of all 24 episodes, you're left with a day's worth of action (and how much action it is), revolving the life of Jack Bauer, a Federal agent who is fighting to save the life of a Senator who is in danger, while he keeps his own family safe.
As long as you have the time, nothing prevents you from having a "24-Marathon" during a weekend, and watch the entire first season from end to end, much like my mom was able to do. If you're like us, and you have young children, then it may take you longer (one to two months, approximately). In any case, it is highly recommendable.
