    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

    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.

    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 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.

    Honestly, 24 is a great show! Always was, always will be. It does however end with Season 4.

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

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.

    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.

If the show was indeed a neo-con fantasy, there would never be the consequences of torturing suspects, or struggles with ethics of detaining millions of Muslims. 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. I just had to say that because this show is unbelivably good and that associating political intentions with the network that 24 is on is narrow-minded and not rooted in fact. 24 is the best show on television.

    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.
