bjarias If the original series did not wear you down completely, you get another opportunity with Live Another Day, for it's pretty much an exact copy of all the previous years productions. Even with another gravely-voiced, half-whispering character (just like Jack Bauer). For those watching the show week to week maybe this is not bothersome, but when streaming episodes one after another, these voices become quite annoying real fast. A bright spot was the addition of Yvonne Strahovski, she's a welcome change, and breaks up the monotony of Bauer's character. It's really not a terribly bad show, it's just so 'been-done,' and it is now time to move on. Jack should really stop hogging the spy-drama/thriller air-waves.. and retire or disappear once-and-for-all.

Tss5078 3 years after the event in New York, Jack Bauer has come out of hiding in London, when he learns of a plot to kill the United States President. Live Another Day appears to be a one shot deal, but as we've seen, the shows popularity means there is always a chance it will pop up again. While Fox has said nothing about the future of the show, Live Another Day did average over 10 million viewers an episode. As I do, I'm sure those fans are hoping that number leads to either the series coming back, a feature film, or simply more mini-series. It's hard to imagine 24 taking place in another country and in just 12 episodes, but it didn't matter one bit, because of Kiefer Sutherland. The often criticized actor has found the Midis touch when it comes to Jack Bauer. I mean seriously, have you ever heard of a show that can completely change cast and location every season and still manage to survive? The cast, the location, even the date doesn't matter, because it has been and always will be about Jack Bauer. In a strange twist, as kind of a thank you to the fans, many characters from previous seasons have returned for the mini-series, and it only made it that much more enjoyable. Live Another Day features the same Jack, who really hasn't lost a step. It also comes with everything you came to expect from 8 seasons of the hit show. Live Another Day may only have been half as long as the other seasons, but it rivals every single one of them. If you're a fan or even a casual viewer of the show, give yourself a treat and sit down for 12 new episodes of this timeless television classic!

Ray Anand Hi, this is my first review on IMDb. ##SPOILERS AHEAD##The raving reviews from other users felt fake. So i felt compelled to point out the ridiculousness of the series and its dubious message.I think 24: Live Another Day is really bad. The plot is unbelievable; terrorist obtain an override device, so they can control Drones and its weapons. Jack and his team then off course kill and torture with impunity. Like they are superheroes always in time and killing with one or two shots. The hacking into computer systems is like...well like fantasy; totally unconvincing, they super hack everything.The Terrorists are of course Arabian and Chinese ( were are those evil Russians !? ) The good guys are the US and its dementing president ( probably the worst acting president in the 24 series ) Jack is the hero showing no emotion at all, like a robot. His interaction with the other characters is below average, too dull. The terrorist are portrayed as very evil too simplistic. The subplots are not worth remembering, i forgot them. There is no tension, everything was predictable for me. 24 felt like it was shot quickly with poor special effects and a low budget.I think that US viewers will like it, its like a US military/army propaganda movie; 'support the Drones and US military deployment all over the world, do not worry we are the good guys! 24 surveillance/spying on everything all the time is good'. Watchers from outside the US will probably quickly determine it as a simplistic propaganda tool, not worth watching, its an insult to their intelligence.

Bene Cumb When years ago, our national TV aired a season of 24 (not the 1st, 3rd or 4th), I became really amazed how intense and different it was, and by now I have watched all seasons in chronological order. And I still love it; it does not matter than there are several unreal scenes, main characters do not have time to eat or relieve themselves, and the themes are similar and seem to derive from Cold War... Tensions are high, chases are carried out interestingly, characters have multiple agendas, actors are far above average; all this refers also to 24: Live Another Day, including Stephen Fry as the British Prime Minister Alastair Davies - a brave and good choice. Some say that there is too much focus on technology and intelligence equipment - but so are in different CSI-s, plus there are dozens of popular series out there where the protagonist has supernatural powers... I would definitely prefer a "normal" fighter for justice.Well, the title should be 12: Live Another Day, but still, it is a great action flick recommended to all who are/were fond of previous seasons. Sutherland is older, but still alive and kicking!
