    24

    24 basically invented cinema quality serialized drama in a mainstream over the air medium. It changed television as we know it. And it’s just plain awesome.

      Hard no. Right wing xenophobic bullshit. Sutherland should be ashamed he keeps getting these roles of American Altruism.

      Ugh that’s not right at all. There were much better shows that actually fit the description you wrote, like Twin Peaks for example.

      24 was highly influential, but the story just isn’t ever believable, and the amount of death and torture is absurd. I’m sure it’s a MAGA favourite, but for other people I think it’s mostly interesting as a cultural artifact.

          Only when those presidents are “deep state” types. Most of the time he’s killing and torturing all kinds of people, uncovering all these hidden plots. And he has to be the one man army righting all the wrongs because the establishment is either corrupt, or too slow to react, or whatever.
