24 - Anyone watching this again?

Loved 24 myself - can anyone recommend a similar type show for me to watch? Have seen "The Unit", and "The Last Ship" recently, which would be roughly along the same lines. Any other suggestions?

thanks

Check out The Shield, a show that actually improves every single season

The Black Oil

Used to weather as an excuse to watch Redemption - enjoyed it. The new president's soon seems like a bit of a tool.

The Black Oil

I have to say season 7 is pretty great. It's got all things you'd expect from 24, mental conspiracy and all. I'm only at 7.10.

They're really putting Walker through the meat grinder.

Jack in the

Oval Office was great. When President Taylor was asking about his loyalties: 'with all due respect, Madame President, ask around'.

One of the best lines from the show. It's a wonder he doesn't shout at these people - 'this, right here, this is the job'. Guess his actions speak for themselves, eh?

A mole couple? Pair of muppets! :pac: Mind you, I think almost everyone who is dodgy this season has had some lover/relationship as a loose end...

The Black Oil

Larry Moss must be the most frustrated FBI agent on the planet. :pac:

The Black Oil

Oh, the president's daughter, the little wagon. :mad:

The Black Oil

Quite liked day 7 overall. The last few episodes before the finale did feel a little like they were scrambling to fill time, reluctant though I am to use the word 'filler.' Jack being quasi-superhuman well, it's 24, after all. Tony -

a very broken man, I suppose.

The best scene was undoubtedly Jack and Renee

just before he was taken to hospital

, very well done. I'd say the Jack/Renee pairing is one of the best season long partnerships of any shows around, really. She absorbed his mindset as the season went along, culminating in

her moment with Will Patton (Big Bad with several seasons worth of blood on his hands),

she became Jack long before that, really.

Aaron Pierce - legend, basically.

Season 7 is very solid - few too many twists, I thought, but overall it was great. Enjoy season 8, another good one!

The Black Oil

I read a Youtube comment citing Kiefer to the effect that the show's UK viewership is why Fox stuck with it. Didn't know that.

Jon Cassar doesn't seem to have directed anything in s8.

8.01 - The new CTU is certainly fancy, eh? Quality of personnel remains to be seen. Unfortunately read 2 significant spoilers by accident on Wiki. Dammit.

The Black Oil

What can I say about the last batch of episodes from day 8, they were very 24. The torture was quite grim. Arlo and Chloe

teaming up was good. Not sure she had the command heft to run CTU, but they gave her enough scope and decisions to carry the role for the last few hours. President Taylor pissed all over her presidency until her conscience finally got the better of her. The assault on Logan's limo was great, I'd only seen a a snippet of that before. Enjoyed Jack's facial expression at the very end of 8.23 when staring down the barrel of the rifle. They really cranked up the 'man on a mission' factor towards the end. Very appropriate ending with Chloe too.

Navid Negahban who is one of the IRK delegation had a prominent role in Homeland.

Television is not television without Jack Bauer.

Also, Hassan's daughter. Ahem.

Ardillaun

When you binge-watch, it does get a bit comical.

What a great show.Hopefully new show will match the others but very much doubt it.
