I don't like '24'. Too unrealistic, to begin with, too leftist-oriented. Why submit myself to more indoctrination by leftists. Do you realize that ALL the bad guys are Republicans on that show? Listen to them in the interviews, who their heroes are, etc. and you'll quickly get the drift that most people don't. This series portends to be apolitical, but it's subtle and dangerous...and leftist.
you clearly haven't watched the show. 24 isn't "leftist".
The perceptions of some are bad, not all the players. Many of them turn out to be hero's!
I think you will find the political bent of the show to reflect todays reality, which is one of the reasons the show is so successful.
In reality, Republicans are perceived as war mongering sluts, and this comes through from time to time on the show, but just like reality, in the end the perception is found to be false.
A little something for everyone, I suspect....But reality is hard to argue with.
Before this season's premier, I thought the same thing, but my thinking has changed. Prior to this season's premier, I watched the show twice, and I concluded it was way too PC. I decided to give it one more chance this past weekend. Glad I did. The terrorists are cruel, evil Muslims, and the left-wingers are generally portrayed as inane and weak. Yes, there are left-wing characters to despise and curse at, but that's part of the fun. Suggest you give it another try.
