Simply the best, April 23, 2011
DavyDefinitely the most exciting season so far - after a rather disappointing 4th season with a new threat every 3 episodes. Season 5 is the only one that manages to keep the suspense and the excitement with a single threat.
The Emmy is well deserved, and the fact that it comes during the fifth year only proves the originality and imagination of the show. 24 is a UFO in American TV, but it is also hands down the most addicting, most enthralling show ever (sorry for Lost, but come on, there can be more twists and suspense in one episode of 24 than in an entire season of Lost).

Hobart"[...]What is of key importance about this program is the deep divide it reveals and the unbelievable self-centered arrogance of the Kennedy people, except for Jackie, at a point where their MAXIMUM duty was to transfer authority fully to LBJ as quickly as possible. I never realized before how much resistance there was on that from the snooty JFK East Coasters, Bobby Kennedy above all. Imagine, they were annoyed that LBJ was actually on THEIR Air Force One ready to get back to D.C.! The great divide within and the "cosmopolitian" liberal-left takeover of the Democratic Party (Joe Liebermann is now practically the sole surviving LBJ type left) began in a way on that day, not in 1968. LBJ was deeply flawed himself, of course, but the petty, small-minded Cameloteers may well have doomed him and transformed their party itself, really (and not at all for the good), that very day. This program offers a very important interpretation."
Possibly the best 24 yet, June 21, 2011
BarclayFor sheer intensity and plot topsy-turvies, no other show comes close to 24. You'd think the premise (every hour of the 24 episode-long season is played in real-time; thus 24 encapsulates a full day) would get old by now, but, surprisingly, the producers and writers have managed to come up with another riveting, must-see season. In fact, this might be the best season of them all. The thrills and nail-biting suspense (as well as the SPOILERS alert) begin early in the season five opener, with the shocking slaying of President Palmer and assassination attempts on familiar CTU agents (one of which is tragically successful). Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) is lured out of hiding after 18 months and becomes rapidly embroiled in a devious conspiracy that goes all the way up to the White House. As he becomes the most wanted man in America (he is framed for Palmer's assassination), he must try to ferret out the true culprit(s) and again save the country from deadly Russian extremists and various domestic villains. On a personal level, he must come to terms with the deaths of personal friends, the alienation of his daughter Kim, and the fact that his former girlfriend Audrey Raines (Kim Raver) might have moved on.
