20 Years Ago, Kiefer Sutherland’s 9-Part Action Thriller Delivered One Of TV’s Best Finales

From 2001 to 2014, the action-thriller series 24 was a major force in television. While fans debate the best seasons, many consider season 5 to be a standout. It originally aired in 2006 and featured Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer returning from hiding to investigate the murders of important characters David Palmer and Michelle Dessler. Jack’s colleagues, Tony Almeida and Chloe O’Brian, were also targets of the same killer. Throughout the series, Jack often sacrificed his own well-being to protect others, and season 5 proved especially challenging for him.
