    The seventh season of the Fox thriller starts with four hours and some compelling plots....Then the plot twists pile up, and the action scenes can turn preposterous.

    After watching the first four episodes, it's clear that despite the familiar adrenaline rush and a (temporarily) tighter rein on the ridiculous, 24 hasn't changed much at all.

    The novelty of the hour-by-hour conceit wore off long ago, and the various plot devices and characters are all familiar. The fun, at least at the beginning of a new season, is in seeing how the creators will rejigger the pieces this time around.

    The biggest problem is that by now some elements of 24 are distressingly predictable.

    24 makes a feint toward change, before getting back on the same old mechanical cowboy ride.

    The new season has a few moments, mostly involving the return from the dead of Jack's old CTU colleague Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard), who now seems to be working for the bad guys. But all the attempts by Jack and his writers to justify every past decision often brings the action to a crawl.

    24’s seventh season never hits the consistently entertaining heights it once did at it’s peak, but after after pretty disappointing sixth season this is somewhat of a return to form. The lengthy break between seasons, and the move from L.A. to Washington helps breath some fresh life into the formula, and whilst it may not have been subtle, it was interesting to see this show finally deal with the ethics of Bauer’s methods.    … Full Review »
