24: Legacy

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.

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.

24: Legacy was never going to be the same without Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer. It was just common knowledge. At least 24 ended on a good note when it finished in 2010. I'm still yet to see 24: Live Another Day, but my interest was sitting on the 50/50 mark. I thought I'd give 24: Legacy a chance regardless, but after the first episode it was just the same thing done all over again albeit with a different cast.

Nothing against Corey Hawkins stepping into the shoes as the heroic Eric Carter, but he just doesn't have the same presence and charisma as Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer.

24: Legacy just didn't have me hooked from the first episode. Rewind back to the very first episode of 24, and there were plenty of twists and turns to have you hooked as well as a variety of interesting characters. 24: Legacy failed to tick all the right boxes.

Just as well that 24: Legacy was cancelled after one season. It just could not resurrect the same popularity, and a lot of 24 fans were very indifferent. Sorry, but the 24 legacy should have been left well enough alone.

4/10.

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!
