    Spoiler Alert

    Thoughts so far?

    It hasn't grabbed me as of yet. Waiting for KS's character to become more aggressive. Too many characters. Trying too hard to be racially/religiously sensitive. The Muslim teenager dying was over the top. Three entire branches of government destroyed and you're worried about some kid? The plot is clear as the bombing was an inside job, and the needing a sandwich Asian chick that looks like the puppet shrink from Team America is ridiculously absurd.

    Gonna tune in for a season and see how it materializes. Still hard to see KS playing el presidente when his ass should still be Jack Bauer.

    Lots of liberal overtones, which I wouldn't mind if the show were any good. It's monotonous, awkwardly scripted and paced, and has the thrill value of a daytime soap opera. Sutherland does a good job, but having Jack Bauer as the President is a cartoonish distraction. It's definitely not a bad show, but it's definitely not a good one, either.

    2.5/5

    It's done in Toronto so of course it's a great show

    It's OK to pretty good compared to most series on today. It's like 24 in many ways how it's displayed and timeline and such. I don't wait for it excitedly and DVR it to watch later. Story line is interesting but then is a slight let down like B&B said. It's quite bland.

    Still brings me back to see what's going on so there's that. But then again, I'm still wasting Sundays watching the bland panthers.
