6. 24: Live Another Day

There’s only one episode left in the 12 part run of event series 24: Live Another Day, but this summer is still an ideal time to catch up with the return of the popular series.

Season 8’s cliffhanger ending back in 2010 was designed to lead into a movie, but with that never coming to fruition, Fox settled on a half season which would also unfold in real-time. Despite the fact that the final few years of the series were a little underwhelming, Live Another Day is Jack Bauer at his very best and Kiefer Sutherland is on top form as the tough as nails former CTU agent.

With a very modern and relevant threat in the form of unmanned drones and a fresh new setting in London (with both familiar and new faces making up the supporting cast), this season of 24 has been great fun so far with some stellar action sequences and typical 24 twists and turns. A plus point is that it is also easily accessible for new viewers.
