I finally started watching 24 last year and finished series 4. Are there any seasons worth watching inbetween (five through eight) or should I just watch the latest one? Recommendations please, gentlemen of STW.
Watch them all, there's a certain continuity thri them. They are all silly but entertaining.
I've not seen it, but heard that the latest series is weaker than the others.
...it was (and only 12 hours)
Stop at series one!
I think the first 4 or 5 were best, once Tony and Michelle drop out it lost something. I'm up to Series 9 now.

He just said he's finished season 4.
Thanks for the replies. Maybe I'll give 5 a go.
And yes, they are all silly but how could you stop after season one?
My little brother likes to watch a series in one sitting. After one of his marathon sessions he once told my wife she didn't know what tired was. Not wise given she had given birth to our first child 3 days earlier...
In answer to the OP they get progressively sillier but suspend your disbelief and they're still good for a laugh.
how could you stop after season one?
Because they were clearly going to drag it out for as long as possible until they were flogging a dead horse.
See lost etc for example
Got 6 episodes into the latest series having only watched series 1 before. It was too silly; and I've watched Arrow so I'm quite happy to watch poorly written crap usually.
Has Kim Bauer been attacked by a cougar yet? If not, then quit when you hit that point.
I deny everything.
if you make the mistake of skipping a series you might notice the jump in complete sillyness too much, it's better to get your disbelief conditioned one step at a time.
Love the show except for S6. Series 7and8 were excellent in my view. Luckily I have a remarkable ability to suspend disbelief.
Brilliant premise. First 2-3 series were excellent. Turgid mess beyond that and the brilliant premise suddenly becomes a repetitive, predictable farce.
