The Rookie

The Rookie is an exclusive series of webisodes made in 2007 and 2008, and released over the Internet, with the subtitle "Whatever the risk, he won't let you down". The main character is Jason Blaine, a new CTU Agent.

Degree Men is the sponsor for the web series.

The series is made close to the style of 24, in that it uses many of the same devices that make 24 what it is. For example, at the beginning of each "Day" there is a voiceover of Jason Blaine telling the viewer what time the series takes place between. Also, at the beginning of each episode, there is a "Previously on the Rookie" section, again with a voice over by Jason Blaine. The splitscreen is incorporated into the episodes often (at least once) to show phone conversations as well as to wrap up each episode.

However, the episodes do not all take place in real time which is a step away from the show. Also, each episode does not cover one hour, but a different period of time each episode.
