    24: Redemption‎

    Looks quite good. I thought that the series went downhill a bit after season 3 because they recycled too many ideas... but this might re-attract new fans to the show.

    I like that they are setting it in another country, so must have at least some different ideas. Plus its been away for a while so the expectation is high that they would have at least thought of some good ideas.

    And there is a female president! Guess what the gender of the president after Obama will be?
    Or maybe when making it they though Hilary Clintion would make president?


    I might even wait to watch it on Bluray

    Re: 24: Redemption‎

    Well, 24 had the first Black President so maybe they are just setting the tone early again (I guess that's what you meant though )

    I actually think season 4 was one of the very best of all of them, season 5 was a little weak but all of them have had their merits.

    It's been too long since the last 24 now.. two years isn't it? I am expecting a lot from it and the trailer doesn't lead me to think that it won't be anything short of excellent

    I'll be either watching it on sky or making sure my gf records it on sky plus, there is no waiting around for DVD's where 24 is concerned lol

    Oops. Didn't notice that though to be fair.

    It was pretty good. Didn't have me on the edge of my seat exactly but it sets the scene nicely

    Indeed.

    Did anyone notice when his says the time at the start he sounded distinctly Kierfer Sutherlandish rather than Jack Bauerish? lol

    That is my only major critisism, that and I don't want to wait til Jan.

    Ouch.

    Not the end of the world though, in retrospect I'd rather have seen it in Jan.
