This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I will start from 24.There are terrorists. Good terrorists, bad terrorists, terrorizing terrorists, mesmerizing terrorists... Say it 9 times, fast! In good ol' USA, there is a very powerful agency called CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit).6-8 people work in CTU. 1-3 of them are employed by terrorists at any given moment! CTU headquarters is in Los Angeles. The building and its resources can be accessed by anyone and everyone: * from front * from back * from top * from bottom * from sides * from windows * from basement * from HVAC pipes * from roof above * from sewage canals belowAnyone can enter the building with a federal ID, with a driver's license or with a Walmart gift card. You can probably pass all security checks and find yourself right in the middle of OPs room just by imagining about it! (Seriously, real CTU should sue the hell out of these people for portraying them as the most imbecilic people on planet) Those who enter the building can install C4 explosives, nuclear bombs, nerve gas canisters, EMPs, IEDs, PVTs, EBDs, XEVs, SUVs and untold number of harmful acronyms, and while doing that, can probably carry an elephant or two on their backs between floors without being noticed. They can shoot anyone at random, including very important witnesses that are left to walk around aimlessly.As an additional bonus, CTU building has empty rooms for moles to operate in total privacy.Then there is Jack Bauer, who saves anyone and everyone from bad guys, but not believed or trusted by anyone, even those whose lives he saved multiple times in a row.Jack has a daughter, Kim Bauer. Kim likes to play table tennis and take long walks on the beach. This, of course, is whenever she has time from getting kidnapped -- 8 times per season, sometimes back-to-back or 15 minutes apart. She psychologically broke me. Whenever I see her pop up on screen, on any movie, I feel terrified that she is going to be grabbed again and a new 24 nightmare will start over! Well, 9 seasons of this shythe and a terrible series ending with no closure: Jack surrendering to Russians 39th time, as happened 8 seasons before. Die already! .............................................. And then... And then... When you think you have seen it all, there is this masterpiece:The BLACKJACK! The 24 Legacy, Season 10.Jack is replaced by a 16-year old, Politically Correct, Diversity-Certified black boy. This season is a special kind of awful. I have never seen a bunch of untalented cast as this one.But I am sure this season was intentional to warm up the audience for what is to come in Season 11: BlackJack Duplex: Black-Gay-Female-Muslim-CecilTheLion Jack in lead, Freakshow Jenner as President! I mean, come on, bloody hell! The show had great potential, but they overdid it and laced it with stupidity. I was forced to watch it because of gf and it was really painful to finish it all. It was freaking tormenting.See Homeland for a good one. Don't waste your time on this.PS: That gong... I hope whoever decided to torture us with it has it played to him nonstop when he is dying on his deathbed.

Very poor, zero charisma on any of the cast. Story was predictable and dull, only good thing was it was only 12 episodes......... 24 was Jack Bauer somethings you cannot change. More terrorists arising from the dead - it not believable and not good fiction either Can assume there will not be a follow up

I watched this entire season in the hopes that it would get better but, through it all I couldn't help thinking that out of all the extremely talented young African American actors out there why did they pick this one? I can sum up Corey Hawkins portrayal of Eric Carter in one word, horrible! This guy couldn't have been more flat, it seemed like he was just phoning it in. A rotting corpse would have been preferable to watching this guy on the screen, as both have absolutely ZERO range.Ashley Thomas, who played the role of Eric Carters brother Isaac would have been a far, far better choice IMHO. He outshines Hawkins in every scene that they are in together, and is great in the rest as well.This show was aptly named LEGACY, but unfortunately it's legacy will be the end of the "24" franchise. RIP 24.

I hate to say it, but "24: Legacy" (2017) was mostly average stuff; I'd give the 12-episode arc a 7 out of 10 for being a mildly engaging thriller, but nothing more than that.I was one of the few people back in the day who opined that "24" could continue even without Kiefer Sutherland. As priceless as he was in his role as anti-hero Jack Bauer, he wasn't the only star of the show — the show's gritty universe and its unique format could carry on without him. I even thought, during the early years, that Fox was grooming Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard) to be a viable lead if Sutherland departed.I still think the show could manage without Sutherland. The real culprit behind "Legacy's" failure to stand out was its somewhat average writing. It wasn't bad, exactly … it was just average. (Alright — for a little while, it was bad. We see a key subplot/cliffhanger repeated three times, consecutively, in the same season. I'm surprised that major redundancy made it past the editing process.) But mostly, it was average — we see thin staples of characters, and a plot that seemed largely reminiscent of … well, every other season of "24." (Admittedly, it must be tough after nine years to think up an original story for a serialized contemporary terror thriller in real-time format.)The sad part is this — during the show's final two or three episodes, it started showing more promise, with truly original plotting and unexpected conflicts.The show got disappointing ratings. We won't know until at least May, but I think most viewers are guessing it won't be renewed for another season.
