I don't know why people keep comparing this show to APB. "Filling the void" and such. Seriously.
Using average folks to solve crimes? Sheep-minded people? LOL. But the idea for the show is great. If what you want is to get average people to like it and get a 2nd season, then the producers did a great job. In theory anyway :)))
24: Legacy. Legacy? Of what? I'm sorry to say this, but this legacy sucks.
1st episode - the only good thing: the tick-tock.
2nd - "oki, maybe it had a little start problem, lets try again. Im sure the plot will get better." Not.
3rd - "yeah, oki, nevermind.. Hoping for the episode to end soon."
After the first episode, it took me 2 days to re-watch season 1 of the original series. Couldn't stop myself. Season 1. No high-tech (oki, there was some, but you know what i mean), no drones, no hacking, no torture.
Now, 24: Legacy. I've seen 3 episodes so far and i hate that i have to watch the whole season. Yes, i have to. I have a problem, can't stop just like that... :p Fortunately, the show will only have 12 episodes per season (their words, not mine).
This is not about the actors. And i know that Carter is not supposed to be the new Bauer. We cant compare them. We shouldn't. But the producers, the directors, screenwriters, someone made a mistake (or more). And that is bad news for us, the ones hoping for a nice show...
