I actually never got into the show. My wife and I watched Season 1 on DVD and, while it was initially quite gripping, we got tired of the insipidness of the plot after a few episodes. And the characters are sufficiently thin that I never cared when any of them got killed off.

He's got a contract. Unless this is some sort of "conspiracy" cooked up by the <i>24</i> writers to throw us off the trail and Jack really does die at the end of this season (or maybe next season), there's no real danger element. That really takes away from the story. Additionally, as much as I like <i>24</i>, it really is getting kind of old. Too much going on.
