24 from the first episode has a breakneck pace that never lets up.
24 had Jack Bauer, one of the best tragic heroes on TV. A man who can save the world over and over again, but can't save or protect the people who are close to him. It's been referred to as "Greek tragedy with bullets".
24 has characters whose allegiances are constantly shifting and you have no idea where it's going.
24 has both great action pieces as well as intricate plotting and insight into the political process behind the scenes, as well as suspense that would make Hitchcock proud.
24 is constantly challenging the audience in exploring the post 9/11 world we live in and examining our morality and beliefs.
24 is politically ambiguous. Both sides of the aisle could claim Jack as a champion of their cause.
24 does character deaths more shockingly and poignantly than Joss, whose character deaths sometimes feel arbitrary. See season 1 finale.

Is it a flawless show? Far from it. But when it's good, it's amazing.
