Los Angeles Daily NewsRob LowmanFeb 6, 2017
Season 1 Review: It’s meant as escapism, not realpolitik, and we should have faith people know the difference. Yes, there are flaws in the series, but in the first three episodes it keeps you hooked. Read full review

The Lincoln Journal StarJeff KorbelikFeb 6, 2017
Season 1 Review: The pace is fast and furious, as usual. It’s just happening this time without Jack Bauer. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Odds are that for most who have fond memories of the show, the good will outweigh the bad. But there’s no doubt that for others, the scale will differ. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterDaniel FienbergJan 25, 2017
Season 1 Review: It's action escapism, not homework, and with Hawkins as a sturdy lead and a string of chases, gunfights and a couple of decent stunts, 24: Legacy mostly does its job. Read full review

Newark Star-LedgerVicki HymanFeb 6, 2017
Season 1 Review: Newcomers to the franchise--there may be a quite a few, as 24: Legacy gets the prime spot right after the Super Bowl--may get sucked in, mostly thanks to Hawkins' charisma, although Miranda Otto is also very watchable as Rebecca Ingram, the tough CTU director who is leaving the agency to help her husband, played by Jimmy Smits, run for president.

NewsdayVerne GayFeb 1, 2017
Season 1 Review: Great cast, and Hawkins is a worthy Jack Bauer successor. But Legacy can be lethargic and loquacious. More action, less talk, will hopefully close out this day. Read full review

St. Louis Post-DispatchGail PenningtonFeb 6, 2017
Season 1 Review: These days, it’s hard to be too certain about anything, but 24 is reassuringly still the series it always has been. Read full review

Slant MagazineKenji FujishimaJan 30, 2017
Season 1 Review: It remains to be seen whether Eric Carter will deepen as the series goes along; for now, though, Hawkins, like 24: Legacy itself, brings just enough intensity to get the heart-pounding job done. Read full review
