24

I'm a Netflix subscriber and I rented the first disc of the TV series 24. I had heard about it some before from other people, but I must say it is really good. Excellent drama and action and production values are very high for a television series. I guess the secret agent thing hasn't been done to death.

Jenny (my fiancee) and I have been watching it and can't get enough. We went through the first disc in less than a day. I've frantically moved the series to the top of my list, so hopefully the next disc will come in soon.

The only complaint I have thus far is about the guy who plays the man running for president (looked it up, his name is Dennis Haisbert). It's not that he does a bad job (he's a good actor) it is just that thus far all I can think about is him talking about Allstate insurance. I guess it shows that (a) I watch the commercials and remember them and (b) sometimes selling yourself out to hock a product can undermine your acting ventures. Oh well, I'm sure he's getting paid well.

But, anyway, I'd recommend anyone who hasn't seen it to check out 24 at the earliest opportunity.
