What do people here think of 24?

Did anyone like Day 3, 'cos I thought that it was an excellent series. Maybe not as good as 1 or 2, but still brilliant viewing.

It wasn't bad. Not nearly as good as the first or second day, but day three was alright. By the way, when does the new season air?

In the US Day 4 airs sometime in January or Febuary. Usually it takes another 6 months for it to air in England and Ireland.

The US DVD release of Day 3 (early December) has a 10-minute trailer of Day 4, introducing some of the new characters.

Part 1 was genius of television. Part 2 was excellent as well. Part 3 was good, but too many characters got killed off and without any kind of buildup.

It sucks that I have to waint until January, but 6 months after that! Dang.

24 is a brilliant show and as long as they have Jack it will be good.

Your talking to the guy who LOVES 24. Look at the custom title. During the time that 24 is on TV I have a avatar to represent that. BEST show on TV.

First Season was the best and day 3 was good also and day 2 was alright. The last 8 hours of day 2 sucked. Horrible writing. They had a good idea but forgot each episode is only 1 hour. Having the president removed from office after 5 or 6 hours after a bomb goes off because he wants to take the time to make sure they are not making a mistake. Thats insane even for this show. Not to mention how pointless and crappy Kim was.

I thought day 3 was really good and a bit shocking(actually releasing the virus was a risky but well done).

Season 4 will air after the super bowl(so I have read). It will run EVERY WEEK. No breaks this time. First episode and last episode will be 2 hours long as well as one 2 hour episode someplace in the middle.

My hope is that they deal with something small like in season 1. An assasination can be kept more under control and you have more personal character interaction than when you deal with huge networks of terrorists with high levels of government and all these people. No one gets a great amount of screen time or personal interaction.

I agree that trying to go global is a bad idea. There is plenty of drama that can be had in more simple crises.

Damn right; from what I understand...I think that might be the direction they are going with season 4. Something smaller and more controlled.
