I watched the final Episode of Taken last night. The title of which is very fiting and dramatic and truly perfect as the ending. The 3 families finally came together for the final showdown. But nothing can prepare them for what happened next. Chaos. I was in near tears when the little girl Allie made the perhaps ultimate sacrifice - to leave his beloved mother and newly known father to keep the sanity of the people who are so keen to find the answers. The story ended but left a message that hope remains. "Living is asking the questions and not knowing all the answers!"

This is one the greatest TV mini series of all time following Band of Brothers.

Woah, if its close to Band of Brothers I better watch it!

BOB was the best! Not only as a series but as a movie..!

Aside from Tom Hanks, Band of Brothers was also directed by Spielberg! It follows naturally! :)

I thought Taken was pants compared to BoB. Either way, 24 is the best show on TV.

The End.

24 is not a mini series! Though it can be considered a one shot! Also Band of Brothers is better than Taken in some way. Also in other ways Taken is better than Band of Brothers. Taken is sci-fi. Band of Brothers is based on the true story of Easy Company. You can't really compare them side-to-side. But both have common achievements. :)

This is the third season of 24 now? I like the show, don't get me wrong, but I kinda find it hard to believe that this guy can have so many incredibly bad days :(

Band of Brothers was a great mini-series, and I think the best mini-series in recent years. I wanted to see Taken when it first came out (was it last December or something?) but I just couldn't due to schedules and all. If it comes on again, I'll be sure to check it out, now knowing how good people think it is

If we talk about regular series, I like CSI and CSI: Maimi more. They have a very solid story uncommon actors and basically you can just relate to reality! :)

There were points in the story were it was so close to real-life that I thought they might take it off the air! :-\

He is a counter-terrorist operative.. it's fairly likely he'll have to deal with terrorists :)
