I never saw that show. Was it any good?
The best the is, was, and ever will be.
For the first five seasons, it was pretty good. It started drifting thereafter and became very PC, following the formula that blue-eyed, blond men were the manipulators of all evil in the world. Last season took a not-so-subtle dig at Blackwater. That's when it lost me.
If you decide to watch it, make sure you start with the first season.
Oh yeah It was one of the greats of all time.....Season 5 was the best to me, dealing with Charles Logan as president especially with JEAN SMART playing the presidents wife....I still can’t believe that she didn’t win the EMMY for her role, she did a masterful job.
Most seasons followed the same pattern: Muslims or foreigners were the villains early in the season but US corporations or US military contractors would be the villains late in the season (and supposedly they were the worse ones because they were always introduced as somehow controlling the early villains).
Also they killed off most of the main characters except Jack and the incredibly annoying Chloe - why they kept bringing her back so many seasons is beyond me.
