|  - 24 - Does it get any better?
Just finished watching the first season of 24? It's left me with the feeling that it was all right. Does this show get any better with later season?

I never watched 24 until I caught it on tv at like 3am after The Shield was on during my recent bout of insomnia. I decided to give it a shot and I actually thought it was pretty cool. I think I was watching season 5 or 6, whatever one was about the russian terrorists and nerve gas canisters. It got a little old for me, though, after a half dozen episodes. Besides, how many more seasons can Jack save US from terrorist attacks?
That said, the show really does a **** of a job building atmosphere. Can get very tense sometimes.

Jack kicking terrorist *** is good.
Jack's (and every one else's) disfunctional life drama is a snooze-fest

Best show on television, hands down. The next season is going off the beaten path too (finally). No more CTU and I think they're not in LA the whole time.

I think after season 2 it started going down hill.

One season (4 or 5, I think) was not quite as good, but it is still the best show on TV.

Reading up on the summeries on the later season have got me interested in continuing to watch the show. Currently in the process of getting season 2.

I've seen all but the last season. You can get pretty attached to the characters. My wife is nuts about the show.

BSG is the best show on TV if not ever, I know quite a few people who would agree with me.
