    I hate this show! Saw a couple of episodes, same thing happens over and over again. You don't care about the characters....and its just not my kind of show. If you want to see some good thrilling tv...watch lost!

    why aren't we talking about how THE WIRE is the best show ever made, and not wasting our time on this?

    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 What I have to say about "24" could fill a book, so for now I'll keep it very general.

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..

    Yes, it continues being an addicting show after you watch a few episodes, but it is still laughably unrealistic and accompanied by a weak acting class. I'm finally giving up on this show and finding something a little more intelligent to watch.

    I find 24 unwatchable because it is just too divorced from reality to engage my emotions or intellect. Out of all the absurdities that make up this story, I think the most unbelievable is that two guys would be feuding over Clhoe!! Yes, The Wire is the best show ever. Ever. God, how I would love to see Omar go after Jack!!

    A stupid show, i know when it comes to watching entertainment we are supposed to sometimes just forget about whats realistic, but when there are so many silly things happening its just hard to ignore and it becomes a problem, i'm not asking for a show where everything is ultra-realistic, but atleast believable, this season has been full of so much stupidity throughout that instead of A stupid show, i know when it comes to watching entertainment we are supposed to sometimes just forget about whats realistic, but when there are so many silly things happening its just hard to ignore and it becomes a problem, i'm not asking for a show where everything is ultra-realistic, but atleast believable, this season has been full of so much stupidity throughout that instead of being pulled in and intrigued by it all i've done is laugh at the some of the moronic situations, yes, lets leave a man that has no connection to the government whatsoever in a room alone with a suspect who is still hooked up to a torturing chair, just one of the many idiotic situations in just the first ten episodes, hope it gets better instead of worse.… Expand

    Not only was this far and away the worst season of 24, it was one of the worst seasons in the history of television. The plot, which is usually strapped thin but paid off in spades in the series' superb fifth season, was horrendous and convoluted as usual, only this season, the writers decided to add boring conversations and cheesy retroactive continuity to the mix.

Honestly, the season might have been saved if they'd have brought back Tony Almeida from the dead. 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

    Honestly, 24 is a great show! Always was, always will be. It does however end with Season 4. The only interesting characters die in an absolutely pathetic manner, other characters die because they're just morons surrounded by more morons and the plot -- it stops being a political thriller and becomes a very poor imitation of StarWars.

    Implausible, to the point of being ridiculous. We treat it as a comedy and cut it to shreds laughing all the way. Alas it has grown too tiresome to watch.

    the worst season yet...i guess there is only 1/4 of the season that is interesting and the rest is just random conversations...plus there is just too much non important subplots

    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.
