24
I just finished season one of 24, and it certainly lived up to the hype. I saw the last season, so I had an idea of what I was in for, but the first was significantly better.
And it got me thinking how well they pulled off the real-time thing. Further, it made me think of how many shows could not pull it if. For example, another favorite of mine: House. “Stay tuned next week as House and his team wait for the lab results”. I’m not sure it’d rank as one of the more popular shows around with that aspect.
It goes for most shows (just think of your favorite if it was done in real-time), and I suppose that’s what made 24 such a hit when it came out. It took this new concept, ran with it, and made it work incredibly well.
In any case, I highly recommend it to everyone.
