I think from then on they plotted in four-hour arcs. However, series one is definitely worth watching as it's about Bauer's ingenuity; by series three he can fly any aircraft and has an infinite bag of ammo... You can understand the networks' desire to wring as much out of their hits as possible - it's expensive to develop a new show and they might not work so let's do THAT again... And as the show runner of Everybody Hates Chris once said, If more people want to watch a still shot of a glass of water than your programme, then say hello to The Glass Of Water Show. We're housebound at the moment, with a two-week old daughter. So we've been cracking through Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Alatraz and Grimm on TV, and Psych and Burn Notice on DVD. I cannot in all honesty recommend any to the casual viewer, but GoT is worth making the effort...
