is "24" the TV show a forgotten classic? Jack Bauer appreciation thread

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

The show that put the idea that a black President could be a reality in the consciousness of America.

That is a fact.

Currently rewatching this. Season 2, Episode 24. Straight fire.

In my top 3

1. The Wire
2. The Sopranos
3. 24

I don’t really know of a character that can keep attention on the screen like Keith Sutherland as Jack Bauer. Dude brings an intensity to the screen that’s unparalleled.

The writing
The score
The tension brehs

And season 8... wow.

piff

I'm rewatching too. On season 3 we in Mexico baby

Bush White House LOVED 24

Yep. Them devils loved the concept of a cac (no disrespect to Jack) mass murdering arabs

 

[Atlrocafella]

For network tv, it was good. Def my go to show when I was in college.

 

[richaveli83]

It was a great and innovative show but they dragged it on for too long. It was cool like the first two or three seasons though.

 

[the cool]

season 2 was absolutely fire thats all i remembered

 

[MikelArteta]

I'm rewatching too. On season 3 we in Mexico baby

i liked how jack was HOH
i think that chick caught a bullet and he was like ah well

 

[El Poyo Loco]

How did this shyt end

Gave himself up to the Russians to save Chloe

 

[Ol’Otis]

First season was dope that’s all I remember

 

[El Poyo Loco]

Favorite kills was the last season when he threw the mother son terrorist out the window

 

[goatmane]

one of the GOAT tv action scenes ever...

 

[Secure Da Bag]

It was a great and innovative show but they dragged it on for too long. It was cool like the first two or three seasons though.

I wish there was a version that cut out 90% of the scenes with his daughter. That show would be 11/10 for me.

 

[Swagnificent]

It was part of an era with Lost and Prison Break where the first couple seasons were some of the best on TV, then after a while you kinda lost interest.

24 never fell of though like those other 2. But yeah that early to mid-2000s was the GOAT era for television. 24 from Season 2 on and Lost/Prison Break in the first 2 seasons were crazy.

speaking of 24

for years I saw people compare jack bauer and mackey from the sheild

I watched the shield last month for the first time

that mackey nikka is trash, he wouldn't last a day in bauer's shoes

 

[Swirv]

OP I been making Jack threads the last few months and yall nikkas ain't been participating.


Had me wondering if I'm the only black man that watched 24


Jack was a savant when it came to being ruthless for what he believed in. My nikka would kill men women and children for his country. And I love it

Dude stayed getting confessions from people he killed before they perished. His torture scenes were top notch.
