    I wanted to like this, but the incompetence of CTU each hour is making me weary. I'm at the point where I'm hoping the John Donovan and his insufferable wife Rebecca get taken out by the evil terrorists and the whole thing gets wrapped up by John Carter and his brother's posse. 8 or 9 hours in and CTU has gotten NOTHING right.

    Damn this is hard. This actually started out great. 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.

    I really looked forward to this show, and the first episode wasn't too bad. 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 itI really looked forward to this show, and the first episode wasn't too bad.

    Wow, this show is bad. I rarely see so many plot holes and bad scripts. Its so unrealistic that it could be satire. But I miss the punch lines between all the stereotype BS. I hope, people will not take it as an explanation for how things are. but the plot seems to serve the FOX agenda very well.

    What a waste of time and resources

    This is the worst possible timing to reboot this show with a Muslim terrorist plotline. Trump, with his xenophobia, demagoguery, lies, and Muslim bans, has poured fuel on the fire of fear and hatred of Muslims, and this show just fans the flames.

It posits that every Muslim should be feared as a potential terrorist, because there are sleeper cells all across the country waiting for the call to launch attacks on America. What was Fox thinking, launching this in the era of Trump, and after the Superbowl? It's a horribly irresponsible decision, and it could inspire more right-wing terrorist attacks on innocent Muslims like we saw in Quebec recently.… Expand

    Wow, this is bad. Really bad. The cast of this series has less charisma than a sack of decomposing potatoes. I though the last few seasons of 24 were derivative, but this has sunk the entire franchise into new, more oxygen-deprived depths...

    Awful Cast. Corey Hawkins is not credible at all as a former ranger and an oyster have more acting skills than him .......... a big disappointment but what can you do ? nobody can do the job like Jack Bauer !!!!!

    I so badly wanted this to be good - I loved the original 24 Series (all of them) although the most recent movie was pretty lame. This series though just never gets going. The characters are ok but the storyline just never left the pulse racing....I was never desperate to get to the next episode like I was with the original series. As others have said - CTU is so incredibly lame......itI so badly wanted this to be good - I loved the original 24 Series (all of them) although the most recent movie was pretty lame.

    Hawkins does a solid job filling Jack’s familiar shoes.

    The series continues to exploit hot-button issues for pulse-pounding fantasy--albeit in a manner that, when contrasted to the more modern (if equally silly) Homeland, comes across as clunky and outdated.
