Well, after watching the first two episodes, I think this show would be good for binge watching.
Kinda lame how they try to "fill in the blanks" with some characters, and the lead isn't that good yet, if he remains that way is a good question.

Since there isn't 24 episodes (only 12), yet, they are keeping the "hour" format, it is just pushed too fast.
Dunno why they bothered with the 24 in the title.
How the heck does CTU just allow any ole laptop to connect in the first place?
Wouldn't that throw up red flags all over the place if they see some computer just connecting into their servers, and downloading a super secret file?
That is a pretty lame angle they are going with this.

Last night's episode wasn't that bad it's getting me back on the wagon. I was shocked to see that EVERYONE actually listened to the CTU chick when she called the police station and believed her, and acted accordingly. Like they actually made some sort of logical sense instead of what happened in the past episodes, where Jack Bauer has a video of terrorists plotting and people still don't believe him and keep him in custody or just do overall dumb shit.

I like how the "rules" of 24 still apply, like "There is a mole in CTU" and "Cooperate with the terrorists = You dead" :)

Jack would have never been hit by that car.

He wouldn't have missed completely when shooting at the head terrorist while he was getting away, either :)

It looks like they might be pulling the "CTU gets attacked!" move from the old 24 playbook as well! Fun!

CTU is basically the Trump White House with leaks. You would think after the former head was a bad guy, after CTU was poison gassed and everyone killed, after a few dozen terrorist moles, etc., they might get their shit together and have some better controls/security.

why do they need to provide the real schematics?? why can't they use fake ones the look real instead?

Well, finally got a chance to binge watch and... this has to be the worst "24" that I can recall.
Overall, lots of cringe worthy moments, and that ending...sigh.
