24: Legacy (2016–2017)
7/10
Didn't Think It Would Work W/out Jack Bauer...
20 February 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I saw the "24" mini-series on 3 years ago, "24: Redemption" I think it was called? -- and wasn't terribly impressed w/ that show really. I had never watched the original series when it was on from 2001 to 2008 or 2009, whenever, but watched the whole series in a series of "bing watches" off Netflix in the early 2010's, and just couldn't imagine having to wait from week to week to see what happened to our hero, counter-intelligence agent, Jack Bauer (played of course by Kiefer Sutherland) from week to week! LOL

This "reboot" of the TV franchise finds a new CTU agent (Corey Hawkins, "Straight Outta Compton") in a similar situation as to many we've previously seen JB in over the years, and I just didn't think I was going to be able to accept anyone other than that character, but to my pleasant surprise, this is a really exciting show - EVEN watching them week to week as I have been the first few shows. Miranda Otto, Jimmy Smits and Gerald McRaney co-star.
