As a series celebrated for its intense action and intricate storytelling, 24 has always been polarizing regarding which season truly is the show’s best. While the earlier seasons, particularly the first, second, and the beloved 24 season 5, tend to take the crown for fans, I firmly believe that season 8 deserves the title of 24’s best season. This season may not have garnered the same critical acclaim as its predecessors, but it resonates deeply with me, particularly because of its pertinent themes and treatment of Jack Bauer.
