Someone/something poses a threat to the President/USA/World
Only Jack Bauer’s unique skill set and no holds barred style can resolve the threat.
Half way through the season the threat is neutralized
Jack Bauer and the rest of the cast run around for the rest of the season tying off loose ends that could just as easily be left for another day, instead of going to bed like a normal person because this show is called “24”
I truly enjoy the first half of these seasons, but I often get bored of the pointless tasks that the characters perform during the second half of the season just because the need to fill 24 hours/episodes.
