    You have plain old smashmouth elemental TV story devices--good guys, bad guys, evil corporations, a family unit, and a headlong rush toward the Truth, whatever that may be. Plus this special bonus: Intimations of Jack Bauer.

    The intricacies may make it harder for new viewers to crack the show without doing some catch-up watching, but they also make it far more absorbing.

    The show still has some interesting things happening, and there are worse things on TV than a fast-paced action drama. But making it into “Son of 24” doesn’t feel like the right touch.

It has everything I want from a show, which is mainly an interesting concept. I am so tired of all the same old recycled shows being produced.
