I agree the second episode was worse than the first. I will watch one more before deciding to ditch this altogether.
It took less than 3 episodes of Kiefer’s new show to dump it as more liberal crap.
I’ve watched the first two episodes. They bear no resemblance to the above review.
I thought episode 2 was better than 1. The first seemed to drag, the 2nd actually had more of the action/pull of the original series for me.
Overall it still has potential to be an engaging action/spy thriller. Or it could nose dive into retread ideas and plot lines wrapped up in idiotic liberal agenda. Right now I'd say it's in that brief zero-G moment, it may push over into the dive or pull out...
Try “Expanse” on Amazon Prime. Don’t know precisely where it is going but there is a cast of characters anyone could love, sci fi tekkie stuff to die for, a plot that thickens by the minute, and a “bigger than TV series” presence. After the first season this looks like, finally, a great sequel to “Firefly.”
Me too. At least the first six-seven seasons before Stephen Hill left. And I preferred Michael Moriarity to Sam Waterston. And Jill Hennessy to anyone!
No Jack?! No Chloe?! No watch!
Um... that was sarcasm.
Others?
Newsroom
Yeah me too.
I don't watch anything Aaron Sorkin is associated with.

Why I haven’t watched tv in years. Besides being offensive, perverted, and bigoted, everything on television is just so ploddingly predictable. The timing, plot, characters, values — it is all the same thing over and over again.
It is a broken record, endlessly repeating.
I tried to record the first episode following the Super Bowl, but I haven’t yet watched it, nor do I think I will. I certainly won’t waste more electrons recording follow-on episodes. This is not why I watch TV.

“Notice the advertisements on TV, the white guy is usually depicted as a schmuck. More times than not the white guy is the bad guy.”
Look at any home security commercial. The bad guy(s) WILL be white. The saintly alarm installer and saviour of the ethnically ambiguous woman WILL be black. 24 was always a bit PC, but when they did this revamp I knew they were jumping the shark.
There are a lot of British-made shows on Netflix that have grownup actors and stories.
After season 1, ‘24’ went off the tracks, as did ‘Justified’, for the remainders of their series runs. Unwatchable, IMO.
I watched the first episode. It was kind of predictable. If it is going to deteriorate into “deeper truths” I think I can find better things to watch. We were gripped by 24 but by the end I kept thinking of all the human carnage EVERY episode and Jack was never touched. Then we watched MI5 from which I think 24 was patterned. As usual, British writing and acting was so much better. Realistic and just as gripping and MUCH more interesting. Dead bodies and violence but it was of a level that was believable. I was sad it ended.
I watched the first 2 episodes & will stick with it for now. Not the best of the new shows (Lethal Weapon wins hands down), but not bad either.
I loved 24.I didn’t watch this one because I knew it would end up as what this article described.
I won’t bother watching.
