A short appraisal of “24″

Wednesday 14th November 2007 12:26 in Art, Human Relations, Politics

24I don’t watch the television because there is so much rubbish on, however, the one programme I do watch on DVD is Fox Television’s 24, which is extremely well acted and produced. Its storylines can be contrived, granted, but the programme nonetheless teaches a variety of very important lessons, including:

  • The need to keep our own problems in perspective.
  • The importance of integrity.
  • That things are not always as they seem.
  • The importance of decisiveness.
  • The need to be confident, clear and concise.
  • Utilitarianism.
  • The need to guard against political naivity and idealism.

While plot mechanisms can become tired, these principles never do.
