    What I have to say about "24" could fill a book, so for now I'll keep it very general. Let me start by saying that I'm glad to see that I'm not alone in my opinion; at least a handful of other people see this show for the dreck that it is. So why can't the critics?

Secondly, the new season isn't looking good so far. The last two seasons, and the first one, each showed at least one flash of brilliance in the terrorists' plots. To give the devil his due, it's not easy to breathe new life into plots as stale as those involving political assassinations, nuclear bombs and nerve gas -- they've all been done to death. But here we are, just five episodes into the sixth season, and already the show's going over its own tracks. This is the third cell of Arab terrorists who've tried to detonate a nuclear bomb on American soil, and the second to succeed. So now what can they do for an encore? They have four more (supposedly), but just watching four more mushroom clouds won't add much to the excitement. Maybe they could try to explode one in an oil field, but that's already been attempted, in "The Soldier" (1982). Or they could shoot one into the upper atmosphere to knock out our electric power grid, but that wouldn't work. And now that they've also done the germ warfare bit, what else is a terrorist to do? I think this series has finally run dry.… Expand

    Stopped watching. Some of the most melodramatic, hammy acting this side of Day-Time Drama. Can't take the Curtis freak-out, the Bauer family reveal, the silly grotesque characatures that are the antagonists. We all need to say "enough" and send this show packing..

    After watching the first half of the 4-hour pilot, I feel a little dumber than when I started it.

Nothing wrong with a topical TV program, but the After watching the first half of the 4-hour pilot, I feel a little dumber than when I started it. Where to begin...I was wholly put off by the show's cheap attempt to pander to American fears of terrorist attacks, in which no US city--with such improbable targets as San Antonio and Baltimore--is safe from radical Islamist fury. Nothing wrong with a topical TV program, but the show's use of such hot-button topics as fodder for its muscular action feels cheap. As a result, the show works in broad strokes. The neighbor down the street is a racist redneck, the neo-con politico applauds American policy of internment, and the Arab characters are largely monsters. (It would be nice to see a TV show, in which the Arab characters are not terrorists or torturers.) 24 attempts a few liberal gestures by questioning the government's invasion of privacy, but in terms of ideology, the show feels very right-wing. Like such vigilante justice movies as DIRTY HARRY and DEATH WISH, the program makes the case that the patriotic ends justify the very questionable means. By now, 24's narrative gambit has grown tiresome. The show's narrative goals are laid out in the first hour, and it will draw out its story arc by postponing these goals through increasingly improbable twists. It's a standard tactic of film and TV storytelling, but to sustain such a process for 24 episodes calls for a suspension of disbelief that this viewer does not have. Finally, a word about the show's style. The split-screen imagery is often times inspired and the omniscient perspective that the show takes--namely, during the surveillance sequences--creates good suspense. But the show's cutting strikes me as sloppy craftsmanship. The scenes look like they were shot with multiple cameras, or, at the least, the filmmakers shot a huge amount of coverage. This kind of filmmaking tends to pay little attention to the expressivity of staging, subtle gesture, and composition. This is not unusual in television, but I think what really suffers is that the actor's performances are largely constructed through editing, rather than through nuanced figure behavior. This is not to say that the acting in the show would be any better if a different technique were employed. The fact is that the performances here are just plain bad--very flat or else very broad. All in all, a disappointing show, but I guess I was never really a fan from the beginning.… Expand

We are rooting against Lennox this year remember. If the show was consistent with FOX's news channel however, Lennox would be the hero. Think about it. This show actually shows theoretical negative consequences to extreme measures that reduce civil liberties.

    This season is filled with poor writing. For example, I think the subplot of Jack's father, Phillip, is beyond ridiculous. Nothing to do with his motives, just CTU's apparent apathy to even question him, let alone allow to freely tamper with evidence, spy on them, etc. I cringed while I watched how dumb that was.

    Best tv show in the history of television. It goes beyond just being just the "best show" on tv - it is several levels beyond the competition. For the most part, it goes beyond anything that has been done on film as well. Quite simply, 24 is a one-of-a-kind phenomenon.

Sure, it's an unbelievable and stupid plot twist, but in light of the sheer boredom and unequivocal failure that was Season Six, it would at least have been a WELCOME unbelievable and stupid plot twist. Instead, we had interoffice romances that had me screaming "NOBODY CARES" at the screen every ten minutes; treatments of abuses (prisoner, power, alcohol) that offended me as a writer; and an attempt by writers who obviously worship at the Church of Michael Bay of Latter-Day Morons attempting to use long-winded speeches to explain something profound. Not since the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls were disassembled has something gone from Top to Bottom within a season. It's deplorable, and my only hope is that next year, they do something ballsy like killing off Jack or cloning a zombie version of Tony to take out all the people who work in CTU (and hopefully Defense Secretary Heller, who has been in that job now for at least four presidential administrations).… Expand

    I love watching the twists and turns, of the show, and knowing that this series has no qualms about killing off just about anyone at any time just makes seeing the next episode all the more exciting.

My only problem with the show is that some of the situations are laughable, and they really tend to stick out among the "realism". Like for some reason, villains always seem to get their plans off the ground without a problem, and it's usually a very obvious oversight that could have prevented the entire problem. Also, CTU apparently has an infinite supply of SWAT agents, because they're being killed left and right, but there always seems to be more available to support the main characters. Anyway, that aside, the acting is excellent, the story is enjoyable, and the multiple storylines interacting with each other is what makes the show unique and entertaining.… Expand

    This is not the best season of 24. Theres a lot of silly things, like the subplot of Jacks father. Too silly. Anyway, 24 is one of the best show on television. I hope season 7 comes in better shape. From Argentina, Norberto Sica.

    Great drama. Intriguing characters as well as suspenseful plotline. The intensity just grabs you every episode.

    While increasingly unbelievable, the show has surprised me in each and every season in its plot construction. Although this season is a bit of a dip from the last, it still qualifies as an incredible season in which Sutherland once again keeps his character as entertaining as he was when he carried Teri's body away.

    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.    … Expand

    Definitely the worst and most disappointing season of 24. The first 4 episodes were amazing, but then it went all downhill. It just recycled way too many past 24 elements and the Jack's family is behind this didn't work out. Still good, but the worst for sure.

    While this time around the plot points are clearly recycled, the drama less interesting and the characters less developed, the high-stakes action of 24 and Kiefer Sutherland's performance save the day.

    It uses the same ideas about nuclear weapons which was used in the second and fourth season. Also this season doesn't have as many characters. Kim Bauer is not on this season.

    Far from taking anything away from the pulse-pounding show, thanks to Kiefer Sutherland’s magnetic performance, Bauer’s subtle psychological anguish may be the most interesting surprise of “24’s” new season.

    Where does that leave Season 6, then, when the show has stemmed major disasters for five years running and its intensity level of choice is 11? As well-oiled as before, actually, and, judging from the four hours airing over Sunday and Monday, unafraid of edging its parallel-universe America ever closer toward a world war nightmare of mass hysteria.

    Unlike most serialized dramas of late... "24" continues to do everything right.
