The seventh season of FOX’s political/action drama 24 began Sunday night at 8:00 with 2 episodes then continued on Monday with 2 more. After that, weekly on Monday nights at 9.
After taking over a year off (a much needed break) hopefully this show will come out like a caged and ferocious animal, not linger around like a well-fed, warming in the sun lion on a calm prairie.
That last season was horrible and it’s refreshing to see the producers of the show have fessed up to their mistakes. On top of that, they’ve learned from those mishaps if their quotations are to be believes. The Redemption movie was alright, didn’t nail down hope like I would’ve liked but I think it widened its scope by involving Africa as a landscape.
Also, while watching last season, I had the misfortune of not getting FOX in as well as I would’ve liked. I spent that entire 24 hours with a pair of rabbit ears in my lap pointed to the window. Even then I got fuzzy lines through the untimely and regretful murder of Michelle Forbes character, Lynne Kresge
Well, after reading Tim Goodman’s review in the San Francisco Chronicle, maybe we’re seeing the beginning of the end.
What if the 24 concept was adapted for another series (think CSI or SVU), maybe not involving a counter terrorism outfit but a nonprofit organization trying to stay afloat in an economic sinkhole. Terrorism is no longer the bogeyman, we've supported our own financial bogeymen, and, if they’re not trying to negotiate their lost fortunes their killing themselves in the face of an uncertain and incriminating future.
