There's probably a thread for this but I can't find it...
Watched the first 4 seasons back in the day and then drifted from it, but because Lovefilm Instant has it and because as episode fits comfortably into a lunch hour I've been watching season 5, and it's epic.
It's over the top, occasionally madly so, but I'm really impressed with the writing chops it must take to try and sustain and escalate a scenario over 24 episodes. As silly as it all is it's really quite brilliant entertainment.
Oh, and I actually cried at one point during this season (luckily I wasn't watching that one at my desk). I know, I know, I never thought 24 could do that either, and it probably can't unless you're an emotional trainwreck like myself, but it happened. So there.
