oh yeah. edge of your seat thriller most every night. high octane all the way through. political intrigue, twists and turns, fate of nations hanging in the balance. one man standing between peace and armageddon. best show ever. but lots of gun battles and chasing in between.

If you're American and have Amazon they have every season of the show you can watch for free. I started watching season 7 again for some reason and yeah its still great.

What makes 24 amazing is that the pace stays this crazy for literally 24 straight hours. And they did it for 8 seasons. Some are better than others of course but its a show that never stops the second it starts. Its amazing how they manage to do it. The only season I thought was kind of slow was second season and a little bit of sixth season. But all the others are high octane and keep you watching the whole way. Everytime you don't think it can get any crazier....it gets crazier.

And while the new guy is OK so far you have to watch the original Jack Bauer. That guy does things that are nuts!

was this how 24 was like?


more or less, yes.

obv the biggest difference is no jack bauer/kiefer sutherland who was a great character. but this was decent enough on its own; will continue to watch.

yeah i like how they did the beginning. it was intense right from the start.

More and yes this is how the style of the show is.
It's amazing it's always high octane action and follow ups..tension and the character and plot is insane.
Also it's in real time so what you watched all happens in 1 hour of the day.

reply

Yes it was I urge you to check it out pronto. The first 5 seasons were amazing. 6 took a nosedive but bounced back Ruth 7 and dove again with 8 but came backnin all it glory with Live another Day.

Six was great, watch it again. Best opening four episodes in any season too. Legacy was awesome and I can't wait till episode 2.

reply

Sorry. It it was the worse by a mile. The first 4 episodes were ok but sunk quickly in a quagmire of ineptitude. I might feel different if I saw it again but that's not going to happen.
