I'm a huge fan of the series and own every single season on DVD
(except the last one) and it's because I'm such a nerd-fan for
the show that I just can't see this reboot working without
Kiefer Sutherland. With that said, I will definitely tune in for
the premiere just to see how this plays out and whether my
opinions wins out. The trailer was just 'okay' for me.

I just watched the first two episodes and if you're a fan of the
original Jack Bauer era 24, then you are going to like this
because it feels very much the same as before with regards to
the pacing, editing, tempo of each episode. It hits all the very
familiar traits of the original. Now the big hurdle for Legacy
is how will the new cast be received by the public. It's a tall
order to fill in the shoes left by Kiefer Sutherland. There's no
getting around that everyone still wants Jack Bauer calling the
shots here in spite of what looks to be a decent cast. I know
that the reviews as of now are not kind, but I'm still on board
with the series. It's not perfect and neither was the original
as it too had issues. The first episode was great, but the
second did have a noticeable dip. Still worth checking out.

After a solid first two episodes, the series has taken a
dramatic dip. The last 3 episodes were weak with Episode 5
probably being one of, if not the worst episode in 24 history. I
was beyond bored. There was nothing compelling and worse than
that, it seemed to be spinning it's wheels. I hope this is just
a minor set back and that they can get back on track.

I forgot about this threads existence and you can thank 24:
Legacy for that. What started off great and veered into tedium
just went off the rails as it slogged its way to the end. This
season absolutely SUCKED in a BIG way. To say that I didn't care
for any of the characters is an understatement. But with 24, you
could always count on exciting, pulse-pounding action set pieces
to carry you across the finish line for each episode. Nope. Not
only was the writing horrible and the plot stupid, but it was
beyond boring. Waaaaaaay too many 'sitting around and talking'
scenes that defied logic given the nature of what was at stake
and how much time they had left to fix sh*t. So yeah, unless
they can somehow convince Kiefer Sutherland to come back as Jack
Bauer, they need to bury this series once and for all. If
anything, this season just proved that it can't survive without
Sutherland. I give this season an generous 2 Stars out of 5. The
first two episodes keeps this from getting a 1 Star.

Thank God! Really surprised to hear that they are going to
reboot this yet again. It's never going to work without
Sutherland. So...STOP with this rebooting nonsense!
