PodBill Just what I expected

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Petia Vladimirova The season started pretty good but that was the only good thing about it. And the participation of Michael Wincott. I was watching this season because of him and it was the worst mistake to kill his character. No matter how old the guy gets, his voice is still a pleasant to listen and he played his role perfect, as always. You lost five stars for killing Adrian Cross, other stars you lost for the "perfect" played moments - there is a device which can destroy everything but our guys stop it at the last second. Our guys are also bulletproof, couple of cars with armored soldiers can't take a single shot at two agents, wounds heal like there is not even a scar, and the agent Morgan should end without shoulders and dead after that torture, but no - we see her with the same clothes back at the office. Ridiculous! And I've always wondered how internet connection could be so perfect anywhere to perform their hacker tricks. Not realistic enough season, well, I admit there was good moments, but that's not enough.

mariahtahmisian All 24 is pure gold! 24 Live Another Day is a must watch, after the original series of course! It's amazing to see Jack Bauer, the greatest action hero ever, back to save the world and innocent lives. Old favorites are back as well as an amazing villain with a fresh plot. You won't be disappointed in 24: Live Another Day!

beckmen When I heard the news of 24's resurrection, I was excited. The prospect of 12 episodes instead of 24 indicated a denser season with less B-plot filler. Perhaps there is a bit less, but more or less the show is the same animal. Pretty much every 24 cliché is here. All of the twists feel recycled. If you watch the show purely for the action, you should be in for a treat. This season might boast the best action set pieces, and there are quite a few of them. There's some feature-level visual effects. A lot of stuff blows up. Dozens of people get shot. If you don't mind the cookie-cutter writing, it's not a bad season. But for me, I have been waiting over a decade for a season of 24 that would bring the kinds of twists and inventiveness that the first season had. The only season that felt at all fresh or unique. 24: Live Another Day fails to deliver on that dream.

TheReviewPerson In a way, this show is quite good, but it lets itself down in far too many other ways. The premise of imminent terrorism is quintessentially the same as every other thriller on TV, but nonetheless the writers seem to find it necessary to spell out every plot point to its audience, which having watched intelligent thrillers like Fargo and Homeland, can be incredibly frustrating. It's bereft of the 'guessing factor': the essential hint of ambiguity that is vital for thrillers to achieve 'edge-of-your-seat' status. There also seems to be a distinct lack of three-dimensional characters. Everyone's lives seem to rotate around the events of the day; there's no irrational fear of green apples, secret addiction to on-line gambling or any personality quirks at all - sure, there's a bit of emotional entanglement here and there, but it's so flat that it practically reflects light. There's no fluctuation or development in the characters, either. I know that that's quite difficult to achieve in a plot that spans across only one day, but to put things in perspective, when explaining the plot to someone, to me Jack Bauer is 'Mr Whispery Voice', Chloe is 'Miss Grumpy Face' and Audrey is 'Mrs Doe-Eyes'.Unfortunately, the poor writing means the acting is disastrous - I almost feel sorry for the actors having to put up with such unrealistic lines. I understand that 24 was a much-loved series and that this reincarnation has been highly anticipated, but really by itself it is not a thriller worth watching.
