    In other words, same old '24,' for better in the initially intriguing plot and worse in the way much of the story seems to derive from other shows, including 'The West Wing' and the narcotics mini-series 'Kingpin.' [28 Oct 2003]

    Menace so permeates the atmosphere that a certain glum predictability has set in to the scenes. [28 Oct 2003]

    '24' continues to roar forward at a breakneck pace, and it does tantalize by dropping clues that keep viewers hooked ... But with the minutiae of love affairs gumming up the works, it's more difficult than ever for viewers -- and the show's characters -- to keep their eyes on the big picture threat that's supposed to drive the series.

    The decline of '24' is almost as harrowing as one of its patented pulse-pounding dramatic moments. ... Maybe '24' won't be so head-slappingly ludicrous this time around, but the first two episodes do little to give cynics reason for hope. [27 Oct 2003]

    Even during these early seasons 24 was hardly know for it’s realism, and plot lines such as Jack Bauer gets over a heroin addiction in a couple of hours, or the convoluted sting operation conceived by Bauer and Tony Almeida are pretty ludicrous. Despite this, 24 was a brilliant watch thanks to it’s ever twisting storyline and edge of your seat action, and I remember burning through three or episodes a night back when I picked up the DVD box set.    … Full Review »

    I like the fact that bauer does crazy things like breaking a guy out of prison to find out where the chemical weapon is.
