24. first season it's on the edge of entertaining

it's one of those shows that you aren't laughing out loud but you watch a couple of episodes in a row on autopilot.

But it's a slow burn and if you stick through they characters definitely grow up and become a lot more likeable by the end.

They don't cheat that growth though, they definitely make the characters earn it.

But yeah, it's definitely something that's better in the end than the beginning.
