24 - Season 6 Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

Missing a little something

Up to now I have been blindingly amazed by the quality of 24, but this one has toned that enthusiasm down a little.

It definitely lost its way on the second half of this series.

I even found myself impatient while watching it and wishing it would end soon.

It's definitely recoverable though!

In fact it has left me hoping they end all this middle-east terrorism stuff, and move onto a different theme.

There's only so many times I can watch the president be voted in or out of power, and only so many times I can watch Jack capture a bomb from terrorists hands after shouting:'Tell me where the bomb is!' to everyone on his way.

It seems they are missing out on opportunities to make thrilling viewing. They are building up great plots only to have them fall flat on their faces.

Dissappointing

Don't get me wrong, i'm a huge 24 fan. The first 2 series where as good as it gets. But they seem to have run out of ideas now. Plots are repeating themself and getting slightly (slighty!) boring.

Having said that, an average series of 24 is still better than most things on TV, so when rating this 3 stars i use the other series as a barometer - otherwise it would be higher.

As always the acting is great and the action set pieces are spectacular, if they could just keeping the good start going all the way through to the end this would have been great.

All in it's dissappointing for 24, but still better than most other TV shows!
