God damnit, are 24 episodes the same over and over again? I’m finally catching up on season one of 24 and it’s really repetitive. I’ve heard this complaint for the latest seasons, but it applies to the first season, too.

Jack finds lead to terrorists. Jack’s daughter gets kidnapped. Jack’s wife goes to look for her. Jack’s wife gets in trouble. Jack’s wife gets kidnapped with Jack’s daughter. Someone that works with Jack is actually a mole working for the terrorists. Jack gets ticked off. Jack finds wife and daughter. Jack rescues wife and daughter. Jack gets new leads to terrorists. Jack’s wife and daughter get put in safe house — safe house gets infiltrated by terrorists. Jack’s wife and daughter escape. Jack’s daughter gets kidnapped, again. Repeat everything else.

Same plot, over and over again — just rehashed with different characters. I was looking forward to season two, but who knows now.

Update Throw in some more terrorist moles infiltrating the good guys, too.
