10 TV Shows Coming To STAR On Disney+

Few ideas feel as inspired as the spark behind 24. Real-time narration, cast across a 24-hour period covering 24 episodes in the crime-cracking life of Jack Bauer, made for an exhilarating watch unlike anything else that had come before. Along with the likes of The Sopranos and The West Wing, it is among the best TV series of the 2000s.

Such was the impact of the show that it reached the top levels of political discussions, addressing difficult subject matters such as torture and racial prejudice. Its political context and the manner in which it took on issues such as these where however not the main reason for the show's success. It was its execution, the style and how the show's revelations were so deftly handled, that ensured 24's legacy would last well beyond the final episode.

The cast also are at the peak of their game. Kiefer Sutherland - the only character to appear in all nine seasons - consistently gives the best performances of his career.

Such a rich addition to the DIsney+ catalogue is a sure sign of the big ambitions Disney has for STAR. It's only a matter of time before we see if it meets their expectations.
