Uhh.. Why would this even get a 7? This is the best show on tv and this new season so far is awesome. I cannot wait to finish the next 2 hours of the season premier! Jack Bauer is amazing.. If you are not watching this show .. start with season one and you will get hooked. 10 out of 10.

Not as action packed as past seasons but still really awesome. You can tell that the writers and producers does not want to do like they did last year by having so much action in such little time. Mind you that this is from watching the first two episodes.

People who enjoy this show because of the twists and turns, and who just love Jack, will love the start of the new season. Love having you back Jack!!!! It's time for another thrill ride.

I loved it, not sure I believe Tony is bad yet.

Great entertainment with sufficient creativity even if it is at times a little predictable. The surprises, suspense and generally good writing outweigh any of the flaws cited by critics.

Great so far (first 4 hours). I love this show - best action show like this on TV. Prison break is good, but nothing stands up to 24

So far, I'll give it an 8, but it will rate higher as long as they keep up the quality, which, so far, is worthy of "24", one of my fave shows.

It looks like a great new season!

Its a great start. I like to see that Tony, Jack, Bill, and Cloey are together again

The premises in 24 get more and more preposterous every season. But at least in season seven, although you don't buy a single bit of what's going on, there's enough of a focus on interesting characters to draw you in. Not as good as the best seasons (1, 2, 5), but way better than the trainwreck of season 6.

I think its a refreshing start to a new day, however a bit slow within the first 2 hours except for a few moments, it looks promising to actually have the potential to be the best season yet, so long as they do not repeat story lines bring in more sudden unexsected deaths etc,etc. but i still love it

I cannot believe how dumb this plot has gotten! It's a national securety emergency, and the fbi take steam boats to the to the site of the kiddnapping.

Superman wears Jack Bauer underoos!

I think this season is the best yet. Well done!

Wow! I wasn't sure that 24 could come back and be as compelling as I had remembered. Maybe all dramas shoudl take a year off so the writers can work on new ideas. The premise of this year's challenge to Jack is believable and the way they have put a new president into the situation with the need to keep her idealized campaign promises while facing the realities of some of the sick leaders the world faces is really current. Welcome back Jack.… Expand

Excellent start to the season, most promising start to a series I've seen in a while. Jacks back, are you ready for the ride?

This new season of 24 is a major improvement over the incredibly dumb season six. This season has potential to improve alot I do believe. I love the new characters, especially Rene Walker, and Samantha Roth (or did) At first when I saw the trailer for this I thought, "Tony Almeida being alive and a terrorist? This cannot be any good" To my amazement this season may become as good as seasons one through five. I do not think there will be a better 24 season than season five. We'll see. I hate how one female character was written off the show and bruitily and savagely murdered, but that's the way it goes. I am glad Tony Almeida is back and not a terrorist. I love the characters at CTU and the White House. Something good for this season is there are almost as many plot twists and turns as seasons one through five. The only thing this season has not had yet (which I'm sure it will later on) is moles. There has been one mole in the White House, which I was not expecting to be bad, which is good, but I want a few more shocks and moles before I rate this season higher than an eight. I would recommend all of you to see it. I can understand if you hated season six and do not feel like it is worth risking of wasting your time, but do not give up home, now. This season is pretty good so far and I feel confident it will improve.… Expand

Really week story line. Should have invested in a phone for the lockdown.

After 5 amazing seasons, each better than the last, 24 finally hit a snag with season 6... but after such an amazing, award winning season as 5, I had a feeling they would have a hard time topping it. Luckily for the viewer, they smartly took thier time prepping season 7 and so far, it has paid off in everyway. The show has a fresh setting, fresh set of characters and fresh focus, all while keeping the one important constant, Jack Bauer, in place. It is great to see this show return to form. One of the best action/drama's on television is back on top again.… Expand

It seems as though this season recovered night and day from the trainwreck awful season six. This season has done the things I have hoped it would to make it more interesting and surprising. This season is really different from the other five. (I am trying to pretend season six never existed). Great characters, this season is very catchy and interesting, and they have had a few more moles later in the season, which I am very happy about. (That is primarally why I ranked this season from and eight up to a nine now. This season is almost as good as seasons one through five, and I think it will be as good later on. I am just a little over half way through with it. It is pretty good so far, and I hope it will improve! Suspense is the key. I am glad the writers for the show took a year off now!… Expand

Interesting to look back at the pro critics' comments that they based on the first four hours. Note how many cannot contain their praise for the move the series has apparently made away from the WMD/apocalyptic scenarios that have been 24's bread and butter through the years. well, guess what? The WMD/Apocalypse scenario is back. And Jack is an early victim. Let's hope there is no season end cop-out where a miracle cure is found for his currently irreversible fatal condition. At least that way Bauer and his show can leave with what dignity it has left.… Expand

At last, Jack's back after a long absence, and this show finally proves that you can make a comeback and not mess it up! The only problem I see with this season so far is I can't see how they will make the next one any better than this one so far! They've listened to the fans who wanted a little drop in the superficial non-stop character interraction and replaced it with intense action or anxiety moments. Kudos fox! you got out of the sucking hole that was started at season 4, and came back with an absolute punch!… Expand

My suspension of disbelief is now permanently suspended. This show was good in seasons 1 & 2, but when you start bringing characters back from the dead because you have run out of innovative ideas, it's time to hang it up--which they should have done after season 4.

Total dreck! They should have cancelled the show after season 5 and gone out with some dignity.

Causes to lose 2 points: the end isn't surprising or mind-blowing.

this was a great season, up until the last two episodes. then the huge overdose of cheese was just unreal.

In my opinion, 24 is the best TV series.... ever. It is like crack for your eyes. Even after watching 3 hours of recorded episodes, I was left wanting more. Non stop action!!

New Season, new city, new characters, same Jack Bauer. This season could have been the most well-acted to date. Beautifully drawn characters are able to mesh and coincide with the old (and quite rusty) characters. The most high-profile cast to date, 24 outdid itself this season with fantastic plots and an incredible season finale which will make your head spin into an endorphin-induced oblivion. An incredible show, an incredible season, a major improvement.… Expand

I agree with most of the fans when they say, when you have something awful like season 6 it always makes the other 24 seasons look that much better. This show is one of those shows I couldn't miss. Every week I would be sitting down the couch with my family, eating popcorn and waiting to see what Jake Bauhr would do next!
