Holy beep this is BAD

It's almost a 24 parody series. It manages to hit EVERY single 24 cliche in the first two episodes haha

1. Gets the list, it gets taken and held for ransom
2. New CTU director/ is he a mole? Lets stun gun him anyway.
3. Having to go somewhere heavily protected to steal something
4. Character has been to a mosque, possibly framed as a mole (Kate sisters bf from Day 2)
5. CTU computer guy helping his boss go rogue.

the list goes on and on. The acting by Fake Dr. Dre is beyond forced and awful, this is not 24, just an urban retelling.

You mean just like in every 24 episodes ever?

In vino veritas

Yeah it's just that much worse here and they never did all of that in the first episode. It's a joke of itself now

[–] rushmoras 8 years ago

Well, you know, it's the same writers that they had for ten years give or take. To think up something new would be really risky for them, so they stick to the same old tested formula. They are applying that old "if ain't broke, don't fix it" rule. Plus, it's 12 episode format now ever since Live Another Day, so they have to rush it.

Just like every Tom Clancy's novels or Dan Brown books 

Whenever I watch Day 2 i FFW every single Kim scene except for the convo with jack thinking hes going on his suicide mission. If you take her out of the season its's the best season of TV you could ever hope for. She was the most ridiculous character on the show.

This show is really cliché and just badly written.

Kim Bauer is probably the worst character in the history of television.

I thought I was the only one who did that with the Kim scenes! I found her annoying and nothing more than a distraction 95% of the time. Jack's wife was ok.

100% agree.

This new show pales in comparison to the previous 24.

Bad writing all over the place. Very cringe-worthy.
