24 is an innovative television drama, where the entire series takes place in one day. Each of the 24 episodes covers one hour, told in real time.
Season two picks up approximately one year after the conclusion of the first season, and finds Jack Bauer, who headed the government's Counter Terrorist Unit, and his daughter Kim dealing with the trauma of losing their wife/mother. Just as their lives are beginning to return to normal, now-President David Palmer reaches out to Jack, who is called upon to stop another terrorist plot with global implications.
The programme was created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran. Ron Howard, one of the show's executive producers, has directed many hit films including A Beautiful Mind, Apollo 13 and Splash. He also starred in classic TV comedy Happy Days in the 1970s.
The first series of 24 earned rave reviews in America, where it's won the Golden Satellite Award for Best TV Drama, and Kiefer Sutherland picked up a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a TV Drama.
