A heart-pounding, mesmerizing adventure unlike anything else up or down the dial.

The fifth season of this filmlike thriller is metaphorically knocking my socks off. My actual socks remain on.

Four hours in, living up to past standards no longer is in question. Setting new ones is what's going on here, as "24," partly by cashing in on our knowledge of and commitment to previous seasons and characters, gets off to its best start ever.

Nothing but shocker after shocker.

Having seen the first four episodes, you need to be a part of this. You need to doff the skepticism and get on the ride.

This is 24 at its fast, furious, exaggerated best, filled with well-drawn subsidiary characters and rapid-fire surprises, all held in place by Kiefer Sutherland's great, under-sung performance as Jack.

This season's opening four hours are as good as anything the series has ever done.

Unlike most serialized dramas of late... "24" continues to do everything right.

OK - so plausibility is not this show's strong suit. It never has been. This show is about suspense, action and violence. And, as a look at the show's first four hours reveals, all three have been taken up several notches in the series' sixth season.
