24 SEASON 2 RATINGS
This season was definitelly an improvement over s.1
The main plot was amazing and very well written (David Palmer's subplot was also amazing and full of suspence). Kiefer Sutherland's performance as Jack Bauer continues to be flawless. Dennis Haysbert, Carlos Bernard, Sarah Winter and Sarah Clarke also gave outstanding performances. I loved the comebacks from Nina and Sherry. This season gave us some of the most memorable moments of the show (like CTU's bombing, Jack interrogating Syed Ali and the nuclear bomb explosion in the desert). The characters were spectacular this season both the ones from s.1 and the new ones, Jack was just perfectly written here and I loved Kate Warner (I think the writers made a big mistake not really bringing her back even once in the next seasons). The action scenes and the overall andrenaline were great. In fact, all the season is full of spectacle. And, the season finale was pitch perfect (almost as good as s.1's)!!!!!!
But, the new villains (while not bad or boring to watch) were nothing special and Kim's story ark was a bit too ridiculous at times...
Overall rating: 9.6/10
