Elisha Cuthbert on 24

24 is a television series under the genre of drama and action. It revolves around espionage and is one of the longest running types of shows on TV.

What is very unique about 24 is that it is shown in real-time. What this means is that each minute in real-time corresponds to a minute on the show. The show is 1 hour long and each season is supposed to show 24 hours of the life of Jack Bauer. The commercials are timed so that when the characters are doing mundane tasks, it’s not shown on the air, such as driving a car. After the commercial break, it will usually show the characters arriving at their destination.

Elisha Cuthbert plays Kim Bauer, who is the daughter of the main character Jack Bauer. The character that she plays is about 22 years old and was born Santa Monica, CA. Kim’s parents are Jack and Teri Bauer.

Just to give a little bit on how intense this show is, here is a recap of season one in a nutshell. In Season one, Kim is kidnapped after sneaking out of her house. She escapes, but gets recaptured again. She then gets stuck in a drug bust and arrested, with the cops thinking that she was part of the drug dealers. Kim finally gets released and the police car she is in gets attacked. Kim gets recaptured again. His father, Jack Bauer makes a deal with the capturers to trade him for Kim and she is set free. Jack later finds that his wife Teri is dead.

This show is pretty intense and action packed. Right now it is on season eight in production with the last season’s finale ending in a cliffhanger. Jack Bauer is in a coma and Kim needs to donate stem cells to try and save her dying father.
