24 Horas: O Legado

I have watched episode 9 just seconds ago.

I have been following this series from the first Season and it has been my favourite show up until now.

Not the cast.. not the director... They are OK..

But the plot holes made this series non-watchable now.

No need to go in details.

Watch yourself and see...

I am from India and 24 was the first television series I started watching. It was a hell of a ride. But this one.....I couldn't stand the first 15 minutes! It was utterly ridiculous and exasperating. As pointed out by many, this is more of a left-liberalist diversity propaganda rather than an engrossing thriller series. I am not white and even I can make out that they are trying to unnecesarily portray white people in a negative light, especially males. They should understand that Keifer Stherland wasn't successful because he was white. It was because he looked the part of a CTU agent to the T. The temperament he displayed convinced viewers that this is a man who'll break the rules if it gets the job done. This legacy stuff is non-sense. I wasn't able to make out whether they rebooted 24 or parodied it. This is SAD! They absolutely ruined it!

I really wanted to love this series as I loved 24. What I can't get over is this show is on the same channel as the original so you would think it would follow the regular and be as intense and real as the prior. This is not the case. Some parts look so fake it takes away from the intensity of the show. The acting is just mediocre but I think that's more the writing. None of the characters seem real. I think the writers followed Kiefer over to channel 7 as designated survivor has been great.

While 24 was diversified and even before it's time by having a black president then a women president this show tries to hard to make sure everyone is represented but still has the stereo typical villains. The thing that bothers me the most though is there are no " oh sh*t " moments. In 24 there where those moments that jumped out and just changed what I was thinking. Some even blew me away. You don't get that here as it is fairly predictable and there are no surprises.

It's a show living on the reputation of the prior and doesn't feel like it needs to work that hard when it fact it needs to work twice as hard to prove itself. I will stick it out this year but will not be watching after that.

First of all let me say ,that i regard 24 as a legendary show,in the top-3 TV series ever made for television and the character of Jack Bauer,probably the best ever character in a TV show.Kiefer Sutherland has acted so well,that you actually think that he has a double life,one as an actor and one as a CTU agent,that's how well he has played his role.

So when you put the logo of 24 on a new show with no one of the previous cast present(at least till now),but keep the same form of direction and play(events occur in real time)you make your first and fatal mistake.You can't help but compare, everything you see to the original 24 series. The answer from the producers of the new show to this,was action, action,action.I saw the first two episodes and in the first 2 hours there were so many things that have happened,that it came to the point to be a little funny.It's the only ''weapon'' that they have in making you watch the show,don't let the rhythm fall and make you bored.But it feels from the first minute that they overdoing it.

Also the magic of 24 was that even if it was an all action packed show,the characters were very well ''builded'' and the dialogues between them very well written,giving to 24 many times a sense of a political thriller. Here you get the feeling that Eric Carter,the leading character is traveling in time to be able to do all the things he needs to do.And it's unfair to Corey Hawkins who plays Eric Carter because he acts well, but he has to live with the burden of being compared to his predecessor.

Overall it would have been much better if the producers had made a show without the logo of 24 and with just the real time event format, the only common thing between the 2 shows.I will watch it out of respect for the effort and because of curiosity, but it already feels like a poor relative.

nothing really connects this time, there does not seem to be any emotional connection between the lead hero and her wife, it looks like everyone is forced to play their character. Plot suggests a large sleeper cell attack is being planned on American Soil, from CTU to Lead hero no one's expression, action suggests that a threat is really looming over their country. Lousy acting what is all I see this time. I have tried three episodes and every episode has decreased my interest in the show. Jimmy Smits seems more convincing in his role than any one else. But i truly hope this show gets better as the time goes by but for now i am not too sure if will really keep audience attracted to it.
