David Hinckley of NY Daily Mag has reviewed the 24 series finale (“Kiefer Sutherland and co. clock out with a winner”) and also provides a spoiler near the end of the article. Monday night’s two-hour finale of Fox’s “24” is a bloody mess. It’s that good, and yes, we expected no less. Like “The Sopranos,”…
IGN TV – 24: “Day 8: 8:00 AM-9:00 AM” Review: My big issue is that I don’t get what the point is, storywise, in killing Renee. It didn’t feel earned. Was it to make it personal for Jack? To give him a truly intense motivation going forward? That easily could have been accomplished with Hassan’s…
TV Guide Magazine Daily Review – Chuck, 24: Happy and Unhappy Endings Anil Kapoor’s final hours as President Hassan were his finest, clocking his protector Jack and giving himself over to the terrorists in hopes of averting the bomb blast. (He cut it close. There were only seven seconds left when the doomed Tarin stopped…
Den of Geek – 24 Season 8 episode 14 review: All in all, this was a great episode that did one very important thing: it moved the story forward constantly, and didn’t get too bogged down in details and stalling tactics.

Wallstreet Journal’s Dorothy Rabinowitz has reviewed the opening four hours of 24 and seems to have come away quite impressed stating that the new season is “meticulously plotted, irresistibly suspenseful” and Chloe O’Brian is “back in top form”.

Entertainment Weekly’s Ken Tucker has reviewed the 24 season 8 premiere, scoring it a B. The New York edition of 24 begins when the president of the fictional country of Kamistan, Omar Hassan (Slumdog Millionaire‘s Anil Kapoor), is interrupted in his peace talks with our president (a cheery Cherry Jones) by an assassination threat. Kiefer…
The first four hours of Fox’s “24” are a welcome return to form. The veteran drama, which shifts to New York City this season, has just enough tweaks on the show’s familiar “conspiracy-complication-minor resolution-deeper conspiracy-bigger complication…” format to feel fresh despite its well-worn mechanics. I mocked Freddie Prinze Jr. when THR first reported he was…
24 (premieres Jan. 17, Fox) Jack is in Manhattan. Guess what else is there? You are correct: a terrorist threat. So is Freddie Prinze, Jr. No, that’s not a threat — he’s actually good, at least in the first four hours I’ve seen. And Katee Sackhoff, in the sort of high heels Battlestar Galactica geeks…
Any early thoughts on the new season of ‘24‘? – David As I raved on Facebook, there’s nary a clinker in the first four hours as Season 8 gets off to a solid start. That said, Mykelti Williamson’s Brian Hastings has got to be one of the most dense CTU directors in ‘24′ history; I…
