i don't understand the 24 love.
as angry said, it's boring propaganda.
it's saddled with inconsistencies, plot holes the size of a crater, and characters that couldn't be more lifeless in their depiction.
its popularity is confounding.
the shield, conversely, is as unpredictable as a show gets, with characters that are superbly realized in their complexity.
it's the best drama on television, surpassing even the sopranos.
