1 comment:
If you like 24: Season One, you'll be hooked. Janet and I started with season one and are finishing up season three. I got Season Four for Christmas so I imagine we'll watch that one shortly also.
Just don't watch ANY later episodes lest it give away something you're just about to see.
It is an odd thing that Jack is the protagonist but also pretty brutal.
