I will start from 24.There are terrorists. Good terrorists, bad terrorists, terrorizing terrorists, mesmerizing terrorists... Say it 9 times, fast! In good ol' USA, there is a very powerful agency called CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit).6-8 people work in CTU. 1-3 of them are employed by terrorists at any given moment! CTU headquarters is in Los Angeles. The building and its resources can be accessed by anyone and everyone: * from front * from back * from top * from bottom * from sides * from windows * from basement * from HVAC pipes * from roof above * from sewage canals belowAnyone can enter the building with a federal ID, with a driver's license or with a Walmart gift card. You can probably pass all security checks and find yourself right in the middle of OPs room just by imagining about it! (Seriously, real CTU should sue the hell out of these people for portraying them as the most imbecilic people on planet) Those who enter the building can install C4 explosives, nuclear bombs, nerve gas canisters, EMPs, IEDs, PVTs, EBDs, XEVs, SUVs and untold number of harmful acronyms, and while doing that, can probably carry an elephant or two on their backs between floors without being noticed. They can shoot anyone at random, including very important witnesses that are left to walk around aimlessly.As an additional bonus, CTU building has empty rooms for moles to operate in total privacy.Then there is Jack Bauer, who saves anyone and everyone from bad guys, but not believed or trusted by anyone, even those whose lives he saved multiple times in a row.Jack has a daughter, Kim Bauer. Kim likes to play table tennis and take long walks on the beach. This, of course, is whenever she has time from getting kidnapped -- 8 times per season, sometimes back-to-back or 15 minutes apart. She psychologically broke me. Whenever I see her pop up on screen, on any movie, I feel terrified that she is going to be grabbed again and a new 24 nightmare will start over! Well, 9 seasons of this shythe and a terrible series ending with no closure: Jack surrendering to Russians 39th time, as happened 8 seasons before. Die already! .............................................. And then... And then... When you think you have seen it all, there is this masterpiece:The BLACKJACK! The 24 Legacy, Season 10.Jack is replaced by a 16-year old, Politically Correct, Diversity-Certified black boy. This season is a special kind of awful. I have never seen a bunch of untalented cast as this one.But I am sure this season was intentional to warm up the audience for what is to come in Season 11: BlackJack Duplex: Black-Gay-Female-Muslim-CecilTheLion Jack in lead, Freakshow Jenner as President! I mean, come on, bloody hell! The show had great potential, but they overdid it and laced it with stupidity. I was forced to watch it because of gf and it was really painful to finish it all. It was freaking tormenting.See Homeland for a good one. Don't waste your time on this.PS: That gong... I hope whoever decided to torture us with it has it played to him nonstop when he is dying on his deathbed.

First of all I want to condole the families of the victims of yesterday evening's attack in London. If the western world wants to prevent terrorism, the agencies need to be much more competent than CTU is in this series.I liked watching the original series, but after season 1 it didn't get any better. More of the same. What was one of it's selling points was the length of it. The story was spread over 24 episodes and therefore there unfolded a somewhat believable story line with back stories to give it some meaning and purpose. 24: Legacy puts in the same amount of action in halve the time and therefore lacking a interesting narrative.It's almost if they put action scenes after one another. That is why I don't have faith in 4D-cinema. I'm afraid this is yet another nail in the coffin of a good story line. What bothered me also was that it felt like a love story. Most of the peoples actions where a result of their loved ones being threatened. Apparently when there is a serious thread to national security CTU hold a open house to everyone who want to come and visit.Luckily there wasn't a mole at CTU but that was 'compensated' by a plot line of American government officials kidnapping a little girl as leverage fore future terrorists attacks.About the real time thing. A woman is strapped in a bomb vest. You are asking her whom is it they are holding her leverage over. She is hysterical and doesn't answer but when you begin to dismantle the bomb she is calm-ish. Maybe this is the time to ask her again why it is that she is wearing the vest and whom the terrorists are using inside CTU. But no, we wait till the vest is dismantled and so wasting precious time and risk the vest blowing the woman into the sky and get an answer, if any, much later.All in all I was glad the last episode ended.

I was hoping this was going to be as good as the first 8 seasons of 24 but so far it has been a big disappointment so I have just deleted from my DVR. The writing acting and story lines are poor to fair and you do not get that rush that 24 had. On a good note Designated Survivor is great so that is my replacement for my 24 fix.

I was a massive fan of the Jack Bauer series and as with shows you enjoyed in your younger days you look back at them with fondness. However, you should not revisit them as they tend to lose their original shine.This has happened with 24. Every episode feels the same, like the new lead is living through a non funny Groundhog Day. Each episode plays the same, terrorists kidnap someone, coerce a pivotal character, they rescue the victim but just miss out on capturing the terrorists, the terrorists in the last few minutes kidnap another person in preparation (cue radio alarm clock and Bill Murray waking up in bed) for the next episodes coercion of a main character. This in the odd twist (which you can see coming a mile off). I think in the next episode the Death Star appears and takes out Jimmy Smits again.
