The TV drama I have chosen to watch and review is 24. It is currently in it's 7th season and air's every Monday on SkyONE at 9:00pm.

24
24 is presented in real time, with each season depicting a 24-hour period in the life of Jack Bauer, who works with the U.S. government as it fights domestic threats. Bauer is often in the field for the Los Angeles Counter Terrorist Unit as they try to safeguard the nation from terrorist threats. The show also follows the actions of other CTU agents, government officials and terrorists associated with the plot.

What Is TV Drama?

TV Drama is television content that is scripted and normally fictional. This excludes, for example, sports, news, reality and game shows, stand-up comedy and variety shows. Also, by convention, the term is not generally usually used for situation comedy as it often does not return to equilibrium at the end of at episode. TV drama also comes in season's or series which can be be anything from 6 episodes to 28 episodes. For a lot of TV drama the story is seamless from episode to episode and each season or series has a specific main plot with sub-plots for each episode.

Some TV drama examples are:

UK
-Spooks
-Life On Mars
-Skins
-Doctor Who
-New Tricks

US
-Lost
-24
-Prison Break
-Heroes
-Life
-The O.C.
