A counter-terrorist agent battles global threats and internal conspiracies in a "real-time" format, with each season covering a single twenty-four-hour period. An intense, technically innovative, and frequently exhausting thriller that successfully tapped into post-9/11 anxieties; despite its clever structural conceit and a commanding central performance, the narrative often succumbed to increasingly absurd plot twists and a questionable reliance on graphic violence.
