Verne Gay

Tonally, this often feels more like a psychological thriller than an action one, which is a very good sign. 24 is thinking, not just doing, and that bodes well for the later hours when our friend has tended to jump the tracks. All in all, a terrific start. Read full review

Linda Stasi

All the new characters are wonderfully drawn, including FBI agent Walker (Annie Wersching); bad, bad guy Jonas Hodges (Jon Voight); a new Chloe-type nerd (Janeane Garofalo). Especially good are Jones and her husband (Colm Feore), who is more consumed with solving his son's death than in being First Man. Whew! Thank God there is Jack Bauer--unchanging, unflinching.

David Hinckley

The show's long break seems to have rejuvenated its story lines, in which intense, rapid-fire action plays out against the backdrop of a complex, methodical geopolitical chess game. Read full review

Aaron Barnhart

There is a distinctly 2002 feel to this season of 24....But you know what? It all manages to hold together. Read full review

Ellen Gray

Yes, CTU's still dead, but the market for its most out-there operative's very special interrogation methods hasn't dried up altogether, it seems. Read full review

James Poniewozik

There are, maybe, some hopeful signs. The series seems to have given up on trying to create a bigger WMD for every season, which it needed to do. The political subplot—new president Cherry Jones wants a humanitarian invasion of a Darfur-like African country but is being undermined—is intriguing and a bit different for the show. Read full review

Alan Sepinwall

The new season has a few moments, mostly involving the return from the dead of Jack's old CTU colleague Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard), who now seems to be working for the bad guys. But all the attempts by Jack and his writers to justify every past decision often brings the action to a crawl. Read full review

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?

The show gets back on track as the show gets a fresh start. With great villains, twists, and a great story, 24 gets back on track and this is my second favorite season

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 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… Expand

Although it's a good show, I found it kind of redundant when they kept saying "there's more to this plot than we thought". What began with Tony Almeida, General Juma, and Ike Dubaku ended with Alan Wilson, Jonas Hodges, and an evil-turned-good-turned-evil Tony Almeida.

A change of setting to Washington D.C can’t conceal the glaring lack of inventiveness in this new season, even though the action and thrills are constantly engaging.

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.
