    Much as I am compelled to watch "24," and admire its craft, I find that I can't take it seriously.

    The problem with the beginning of "24" isn't the plotting or the rusty acting. It's the pacing, the clunky rhythm of the action-adventure. Thank goodness, the quality of "24" fluctuates, so it has real potential to become great again in future episodes.

    "24" still maintains some of its trademark intensity, but too often in these first four hours, the show is smack-your-forehead laughable.

    Same ol', same ol'. Yeah, I watched it all, but by the end felt like I'd seen it all before - and just last year. It's Same ol', same ol'. Yeah, I watched it all, but by the end felt like I'd seen it all before - and just last year. It's just a soap opera with an suitcase nukes. And what did we learn this season? That torture is wrong - if the subject is in the regular cast, otherwise go ahead. I'd like to water-board the creators and see if next season is just another hack-job reshuffle of "previously on 24". Is that all they got?… Full Review »

    24’s sixth season is generally considered it’s weakest, and while there are still plenty of thrilling set pieces, far too many of the plot lines have been seen (and done better) in previous seasons. The best way to describe this season would have to be ‘lazy’ with the writers just recycling everything from traitorous advisors working with the President, to a mole working within CTU. It’s still watchable, but it’s hard not to feel you’ve seen it all before.    … Full Review »
