The show first aired on November 6, 2001, with an initial thirteen episodes. After leading actor Kiefer Sutherland won a Golden Globe for his role in the first 10 episodes, the ratings were boosted, which prompted FOX to order the second half of the series. Five seasons of 24 have since been produced, and the sixth began airing on January 14, 2007.

Each season covers the events of a 24-hour period in the life of federal agent Jack Bauer (played by Kiefer Sutherland) as he tries to prevent one or more domestic terrorist attacks, set mostly in Los Angeles. The show also follows Jack's colleagues at the Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) Los Angeles office, as well as the actions of terrorists, their conspirators, and usually a civilian family and important political figures such as a senator or president. The show is unique in how it sustains not one, but often two or three subplots simultaneously from the opening scene in the first episode and then maintains them continuously throughout the entire season.

Season synopses

The first five days follow a similar format: a main story arc featuring Jack Bauer and the Counter Terrorist Unit dealing with a threat posed to national security. Surprise sacrifices, betrayals, and other plot twists are common. Each season also has several major subplots that span most of the episodes and are interwoven within the main plot. Throughout each season, Jack Bauer often faces intense personal anguish in addition to his tasks to stop the terrorists. The plot often deals with a "Hidden Enemy" who is only seen for a small time in the "Day".

Each season is aired in real-time and starts at the top of the hour on a given day. Each episode portrays one hour of that day, with one season comprising 24 episodes or a day in the life of Jack Bauer. The show is set largely in Los Angeles, so the "time" is set in Pacific Standard Time for the 4th season and Pacific Daylight Time for the other seasons. Every episode that succeeded Season 1 begins with: "The following takes place between and ." During Season 1, the voice-over was "The following takes place between and on the day of the California Presidential Primary. Events occur in real time." The first season also had several episodes open with, "I'm Federal Agent Jack Bauer, and today is the longest day of my life."

Season 1

Day 1 starts and ends at 12:00 a.m., on the day of the California presidential primary. In Day 1, Jack Bauer's wife and daughter are kidnapped by a terrorist group plotting to kill presidential candidate David Palmer. A mole inside L.A. Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU), Jamey Farrell, is exposed, but does not provide any information that could help the investigation. When it is revealed that the man behind his family's kidnapping is someone from his past, Jack eventually realizes everything that has happened has been to do with both him and Senator David Palmer personally, while information is uncovered that there may be another mole inside CTU. Jack ultimately has to balance his professional agency role with his family life.
