They all seem to be evil and double crossing each other. Then in the next episode all the roles change, and good is bad, bad is good. Like ER where the doctors have internalised the exterior, resulting in them all being ill physically or mentally. In 24 (two characters is the new benchmark for titling tv, next will be one)the actors all illustrate the central premise of the show: trust no one, and say today a lot. One trait(or it's converse dualism) is all that the scriptwriters think we can cope with, or perhaps it is a way of heighten tvs narcotic elixir beyond excrutiating pleasure til the point where the viewers too are drawn into a two dimensional universal hegemony of monic stimulation.
