    It is unreasonable for anyone to expect Carter to be like Jack Bauer or to act like him. It's natural to get so attached to a character/actor that one believes the film begins and ends with them. Consider the James Bond movies...Brosnan vs. Craig....each brought their own charisma and flare to the character. Yet they were both great.

I also think that the current racially charged atmosphere makes it difficult for some to accept that a Black hero can actually lead the charge against terrorists. They are accustomed seeing White males in this role.....that may be the real issue some have with Carter. Nevertheless, he is doing a great job in "HIS" role, he is not filling in for Bauer. Expand

    Will Keep this short. Solid acting, great script, great plot, drama, mystery, suspense, a grittier version of the original 24. Can't wait to see how it unfolds.

    10 Episodes watched, and in my opinion it still feels like 24, yes it takes some getting used to, especially with the new cast but this is only the first season of Legacy and I think it'll incorporate well with the previous seasons of the original 24.

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

    Lean in, don't over think it, and go along for the hectic ride. [13-26 Feb 2017, p.19]

    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in a manner that, when contrasted to the more modern (if equally silly) Homeland, comes across as clunky and outdated.
