President Logan of "24"--One of the Best Characters Ever

We've been rewatching the series "24" lately. That show was too early for the social media and meme era of the Internet, which is unfortunate, because it's loaded with so much melodrama and over acting and ridiculous scenes and scenarios that it's a gold mine for memes.

One of the premises of the show is that the US federal government is 100% corrupt and unreliable... at the same time, it's staffed with dedicated men and women who risk or give their life for the federal government corporation. The character who best represents the corruption is President Charles Logan.

He's the male version of the feckless and unreliable "Sherry" character from the first season of the show. He's a vain, shallow, self serving, psychopath and narcissist. The actor who portrays the role does a great job embodying those personality traits. It's probably one of the best performances of all time.

I think season 5 of "24" was probably its peak. The prior seasons have mostly been background noise for evening brain-ded time, but it's actually really interesting to watch season 5 unfold. The melodrama gets transcends the TV soap opera formula and gets Shakespearean.
