I'd be shocked if they were good.

You would be shocked if they were very good or you don't want them to be very good.

if you read his review he just went on and on about how there's no conclusion to bauer's story. But thats obvious everyone has been up front about it, they left it open for him to come back if possible.

various characters throughout 24 have been great to watch, and not because of jack, even though it's his skill and determination that gets him through.

we've had Renee, Chase Curtis, some better then others. However he does talk about how legacy is presented, and that it feels like the pacing is off and how is this dude getting wrapped up in bauer style madness, but it's 24 the premise is the same, he also says it's not bad, just think of it as a seperate entity within the same universe but presented the same.

I've seen a few reviews ... some leaning positive, some leaning negative ...

That review was mixed to say the least most reviews were good

reply

Actually most have been positive. You posted one review, I started a thread where I put ALL the early reviews and most of them are positive.

The problem with Fox is that all their shows pretty much have had the same formula for decades. They like flashy, bright sets with stories that work if you're still in junior high, but can't be taken seriously once you get into high school.

I almost feel like they should have changed it up. Why not a show called 60 Minutes, or to avoid the copyright issues, call it "The Hour" or something like that and focus on one-hour crises.

Well that was stupid, someone probably stole my idea. Great.

Or better yet, how about "00:24"? -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfwTW107OZY

I've seen about four other really positive reviews from major entertainment sites. You're completely and totally wrong. The review's aren't leaning negatively at all.

People just say this is getting bad reviews cuz they want it to fail
