24 basically invented cinema quality serialized drama in a mainstream over the air medium. It changed television as we know it. And it’s just plain awesome.
24 was highly influential, but the story just isn’t ever believable, and the amount of death and torture is absurd. I’m sure it’s a MAGA favourite, but for other people I think it’s mostly interesting as a cultural artifact.
Haven’t seen it, I’ll add it to the list! Perhaps I was wrong to say “invented” but instead “popularized” because it seemed to me like the number of new high production quality shows really started getting churned out AFTER 24 became a cultural water-cooler conversation level show that the entire country seemed to be watching. Then suddenly bangers anywhere!
But that could just be confirmation bias on my part.

MAGA should hate this show. He holds presidents accountable.
I think it was more popular than you give it credit for. Definitely not just a favorite of MAGA, that seems like a reductive claim.
At the time, sure. But, I think fewer people look back on it fondly and think it should be recommended to people to go find it and watch it today.
Ugh that’s not right at all. There were much better shows that actually fit the description you wrote, like Twin Peaks for example.

Hard no. Right wing xenophobic bullshit. Sutherland should be ashamed he keeps getting these roles of American Altruism.
