Explanation:
Z.B. die Serie "24":
"The first 10 episodes of the first season were as tightly knit as any story we've told. . . . We put Jack square in the middle between his family in peril and the world in peril," said Surnow, who created the show with partner Robert Cochran."

"FX presents the entire first season unedited, airing 24 episodes for 24 consecutive hours beginning at midnight on Sunday, September 1 and ending at midnight Labor Day, September 2."
