Could the sequel have been any worse?! I suffered through three episodes, couldn't take anymore.
The problem with the original 24 series was the last two years became so damn' politically correct it was unwatchable (to me anyway.)
It was so bad that when "Designated Survivor" came on ABC I watched one episode and thought to myself "that's what Jack Bauer became!" and turned it off.
I got further into Designated Survivor than you and it got even worse, if you can believe that. They couldn’t resist injecting more politics into the show and when I quit they were headed in a West Wing direction.
Oh, you ditched the sequel too soon. You missed the best part. The Crips beat the CIA at defeating the terror group that took over DC! (plus Old Reincarnated Tony was kinda hot)
