What is there to say? 24 returns for a fifth series with 4 hours more intense and explosive than ever before (arguably, at least for the opening). The first hour in itself is incredible and stands head-to-toe with the Myers, Mason, Chapelle and the Palmer/Soul-Patch/Chloe episodes (you know which ones I mean - If not scroll down for the spoils...) of previous seasons'. In fact, at this point I would put it as the best hour of 24 ever, and as such, the best hour of TV. Ever.

It certainly stands as the bravest opening of any TV series ever, the most intense opening of any TV series ever and quite honestly just has to be seen to be believed. Truly.

Wow. 24 is back. Thank-you.

Godfather.

Highlight the inviso-text for some spoilerage from seasons 1-4:

By the Myers episode I mean the penultimate episode of season one where we learn Nina is actually a mole; the Mason one relates to the nuclear bomb drop in season two where we believe Jack is going to sacrifice himself only for Mason to pop up; the Chapelle episode is in season three where Jack has orders from Saunders to execute Ryan Chapelle; and the other three are from season four, the season I refer to as the greatest hits collection where one by one we get treats - Palmer returns when we thought he'd gone, Soul Patch returns to save the day and Chloe shoots people!
