Oh Martha
I've been trying and trying to watch this show...
Everyone I know seems to watch it and yap and yap about how AMAZING it is....
For me...I still don't get it
For me...it's all and !!!!
I just don't find how all that shit can go down in one 24 hour period. It's just not believable.
I've promised myself over and over again not to go out and read any threads about 24. I don't want to read any spoilers. So, now I've broken my promise and thankfully nobody said anything disastrous. Phew.
I have to say, I'm hooked. I missed the first episode, but I've seen all others (and in 10 minutes time I'm going to catch a rerun of the last episode. It's great when 2 stations are showing the same episode in the same week, less chance of missing one).
Here in the Netherlands we're still in the first season (I believe it's 19:00 now). You may say that it's not that believable as so much is happening in 24 hours, but so what? Was Star Wars realistic? Lord Of The Rings? Lethal Weapon? It's exciting to watch and you'll always want to know what's happening in the next hour.
OK, I'm checking out now. I'll revisit this thread in 5 weeks or so, when the first season has finished here. That way I can prevent seeing spoilers. It was already a big risk reading this in the first place...
