Synopsis
Hello everyone! Ao here reviewing another television show. This time, I will be reviewing the show '24/7' by HBO. 24/7 is a show that looks into the lives of two boxers, as they prepare for their bout against each other. The premise of the show is that it shows how the boxers prepare and train for their fight, as well as their other daily routines and activities. It gives viewers a chance to gain insight into the boxers' lives, and to get to know them better. The show usually starts a few weeks before the boxers are set to fight. This show is shot in a documentary style, with a narrator that introduces and comments on each scene. There are also scenes where the boxers directly talk to the camera in an interview style. 24/7 has featured some very high profile boxers, including Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, and many others.

Thoughts and Review
As a big fan of boxing, I thoroughly enjoy watching this show. It's fascinating to look into the lives of the boxers, and how they prepare and train for such fights. It really helps you get to know the fighters on a more personal level, which is missing from the usually advertisements and newspaper articles. This show usually features some big name fighters, such as Pacquiao and Mayweather, which makes for interesting viewing.

Boxing superstars Pacquiao and Mayweather have been featured on the show.

24/7 has excellent cinematic and soundtrack. The cinematic is beautiful, from aerial shots of Las Vegas, to slow motion training footage. The sound is also top quality, perfectly setting the mood for each scene, and adding to the emotion and suspense. The narrative of 24/7 usually revolves around a theme, such as the underdog versus the superstar, or the young rookie versus the master, which makes the show more interesting.

Overall: 8/10. Big names in boxing, beautiful cinematic, quality soundtrack, and interesting plot.

Sound: 9/10. Excellent soundtrack, lots of variety, sets the mood of the scenes well.

Cinematic: 8/10. Beautiful aerial and slow motion footage.

Recommendation: While this show is great from a boxing fan's perspective, I'm not so sure about people with no interest in boxing. Therefore, I would only recommend this show for fans of boxing, or combat sports in general.
