Well, as the biggest fan of 24 how can I have the show 7/10. Let's start from the beginning... As the show started it was innovative, thrilling and by far the best action series on earth. The first 3 seasons were groundbreaking. Terrorist attacks, mass shootings, bombs, kidnapping and hero which is not all time good, but do what is necessary to save the country or his friends/family. Besides that technically the show was extremely well done. Split-Screens, fast transitions, recaps, good camera work and the settings were huge for TV standards.
But after 3 seasons you have seen everything over and over again. Some terrorists get tortured, some get a deal (in the cases Jack doesn't want to), some are directly killed (because jack knows he has no answers).... you have always a mole in the ctu, jack needs to work alone or only with Chloe and so on.
I watched the show over three times every season, because I love it. But the more often I watched it, I realised that is full of inconsistencies. One example: In season 3 jack gets Ramon Salazar out of the prison to use him to get some gas bombs. But actually Jack is the one who has the telephone number of that guy selling the stuff and Salazar is just giving him the money, while not knowing Salazar at all... So jacks risks his life, but could actually do it with Salazar at all.
There are many of these examples, but by far more bad about this show is that Jack has no character development. He is always is fallen hero. Every time he falls in love the women get killed or he has to leave. His country haven't supported him as he attacked the Chinese council and let him go into prison. His daughter left him because ... well there is no reason she's just stupid. Even his own country wanted him to go to jail because of torture... but he saved the life of the president 3 years ago? Ah nobody cares. And why is he so broke after all his victories? Before he accepts some dangerous job nobody would do, normal people would ask for the money. He doesn't care and would even work for free to save his country.
In this show there is no place for character development. I barely can remember all the villain because they were so many and everyone is killed in real-time. The only is president Logan which was really interesting villain.
I still enjoy the show if I'm not thinking much about the story or about the ridiculous tech-talks which doesn't make sense at all. The action is great, but the lacks of inconsistencies are to large to save it.
