Out of sheer boredom and lack of things I am interested in watching. I started binge watching the original “24”.

Without a doubt one of the best action type shows ever on TV.

One caveat though, and this was brought up numerous times during the original run, is the character of Jack Bauer’s daughter, Kim. She, along with Jack’s wife Terri in the first season, were two f the the most naive, and downright dumbest I ever seen, especially Kim. She was a total airhead.

Now I am watching season two and if we were going to have Black President, I would rather it was someone like the fictional David Palmer. Yes he was a Democrat and a Liberal, but he was head and shoulders better than Obama.

One interesting thing in season 2 is the emergence in the plot of a cabal trying to undermine and bring down Palmer, reminds me very much of what is going on now with the Deep State against Trump. Worth watching again.

Agreed, 24 was a great show. When rewatching season 2, I usually fast forward most of the scenes with Kim and Teri. Teri’s amnesia plot was pretty bad!
