24: Live Another Day
24 has always been a fast paced thriller, and while it may have faltered a bit towards the end of it's original run, it returns with a vengeance. 8 hours into this 12 episode season, the show has continued to build momentum, and has not stopped in this latest installment in the series. These past 8 hours have been full of action, suspense, intrigue, and wonderful performances from the whole cast.
So far I see this ranking among some of 24's best seasons, unless the final 4 episodes in this 24 hour day (there will be a 12 hour time jump at some point) take a steep drop in quality.
Here's hoping that doesn't come to pass. This review will be updated at some point after the end of the season.
EDIT: Now that the final episode of Live Another Day has aired, it's time to continue this review.
The last 4 episodes of Live Another Day continued to build upon what the first 8 hours had done. Character's motivations remained clear, the narrative was fast paced and tight, and most importantly everyone got a chance to shine in their own way. These last 4 hours contain one of 24's most surprising twists as well.
Once the ball got rolling at the start of the season, it never stopped, and only continued to build momentum, resulting in one of 24's best seasons. These last 4 hours were some of 24's best, and this season (12 episodes) is one of 24's best, right up there with Season 4 and Season 5.
