I binge watched the whole oeuvre of 24 since Thanksgiving. All 8 seasons, the movie, etc. And now I have started watching the agonizingly slow unfolding of 24 Legacy. It's slow only because I now have to watch it normally, that is one episode per week. It's still pretty good, even if the new handsome (and tall, compared to Kiefer Sutherland) has yet to say "Dammit!" One thing is constant, though. CTU is the most dysfunctional workplace on tv. Even more so than Dunder-Mifflin on The Office. However, CTU still needs a mole. I have hopes. I also have faint hopes for Jack and Chloe to make cameo appearances. |

'24' makes our homeland security, intel and law enforcement agencies look utterly incompetent, always several steps behind the bad guys and reacting to immediate threats in unbelievable ways running around like a chicken with its head half chopped off. If what happens in '24' is anything like in real life, then God help us. '24 Legacy' picks up the cue and continued this tradition of lunacy. Warning spoiler ahead! In the first three hours, the ex army ranger dude replacing Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland got promoted to POTUS in ABC's 'Designated Survivor' and stopped being a badass) survived an assassination attempt, got his wife safely to his drug dealer brother, contacted an ex-CTU head who hijacked command from the current head of CTU, and robbed a police precinct in broad daylight to "borrow" seized drug money demanded by a war buddy suffering from PTSD who believes the government owes him and wants to barter for the list of sleeper cells on a flash drive in his possession that could be activated if it falls into the wrong hands. And that's not including all the other tomfoolery, like the blackmail-driven set-up of an Arabic campaign manager and a high schooler who manipulates her science teacher to commit terrorism which led to unintentional side effects. So why am I watching all this ridiculousness you ask? 'Gotham' is on hiatus and I have nothing better to do on a Monday night I guess. |

It's a tv show. You're expecting realism? If I can make it by his daughter getting kidnapped 3 times in24 hours in the first season I can take anything. I regard it as a comedy. |

We at Dunder-Mifflin consider comparing our fine Firm to CTU to be a gross libel. You sir shall hear from our attorneys assuming we find them. |

The events in '24' comprise a comedy of unlikelihoods and errors committed by a confederacy of dunces not entirely without entertainment value. |

At least they got the PC narrative "right" that the "white guy" is the evil one. |

I'm a TCU grad, and every time I see this post, I think you hit the wrong keys. |

Taserring your fellow employees by episode 3 ended it for me. That used to be season 3 material. |

I stopped watching it after the CTU became a family business (series 3 I think). |
