Although 24 is by no means the best television program ever made, or even necessarily my favourite, it is definitely the show that I anticipate most each year. From the quadruple crosses to the absurd twists to the almost constant Kim-getting-kidnapped subplots (please just die already), this show is insanely tense, and Jack Bauer might just be one of the most watchable heroes ever put to screen.
I powered through Season 1-6 on DVD a few years back and loved them all (yes, even Season 6, despite how retarded it is), and Season 7 managed to bring new life to the franchise while not abandoning all the ridiculous tropes that we love. This show means an enormous amount to me, and in fact one of my closest friendships was founded on our mutual love for Jack and his flag-waving terrorist-torturing shenanigans.
And now, with Season 8 just a few months away, a teaser trailer has been released, and I am, unsurprisingly, drooling (I've watched it about 10 times already). It's a little annoying to see Kim taking centre stage again, but whatever. The setup isn't anything new either - Jack wants to settle down, but some contact from his past draws him back into the fold for another reluctant adventure. Cliched? Of course. Awesome? Absolutely.
24 Season 8 will premiere on FOX on January 17th
