    Thanks almost single-handedly to Kirk's performance it's modestly watchable, and there's a touch of "RoboCop" in the premise of a private entity taking control of an ailing police force. Yet even seen through that sci-fi lens, "APB" looks less far-fetched than "24."

    The dialogue is awful, the performances are generally bad (with the exception of the vets—Otto, Smits, and Gerald McRaney, who pops up in episode two), and even the internal logic of the show feels non-existent.

    This material has seen better days, and 24: Legacy makes clearer than ever how much Kiefer Sutherland was needed to sell it.

    If the story was half as compelling as an average “Homeland” season, perhaps audiences could overlook the political commentary. But there’s little urgency driving the conventional TV action, and its stars’ personalities are largely drowned out by exposition.

    Unfortunately, in classic bad-form 24 fashion, egregious stereotypes and caricatures abound. [Feb 3/10 2017, p.99]

    For all the offense that could be culled from this woefully self-serious, violence-solves-everything nonsense, what’s most troubling about 24: Legacy is how little it cares about the inner workings of its characters.

I felt something akin to what I felt with the original 24. The mystery, the action, the anticipation... Until Eric broke the chair he was tied to (he was sitting) by hitting a man behind him with the chair. That was when I realised I was in for a mess. The show just feels like an empty shell of the original. Not gonna hold out much hope for this. The mystery/suspense though is still intact.… Full Review »

But now that I've watched the next 2 episodes, I find it to be disappointing. I just can't get past the main character-he's not even close to Jack Bauer. He needs to have some grit and confidence, and command respect, but he just doesn't. I'll continue to watch it because there isn't much else on, and maybe it will get better. But if it doesn't improve, I don't think that we'll see it renewed for another season.… Full Review »

It can be entertaining even with that huge amount of flaws. There are some pretty interesting sequences on the episode and so, for that, I actually won't be saying this is the worst thing I've ever seen.… Full Review »
