“24” is a mere shadow of itself in former years. I really do think it is only tolerable if viewed as a comedy. My understanding is that it also improves with alcoholic beverages.
I can, however, recommend a few BBC detective series. The old, but still good Jeremy Brett version of Sherlock Holmes. The ‘Inspector Morse’ series set in Oxford. The Inspector Lynley series based on Elizabeth George’s mysteries. Also, if you haven’t seen “Rome”, an HBO/BBC series, it is wonderful.
