24:Exile
Posted: Sun Sep 28, 2008 4:18 pm
Okay, seen a couple of trailers for this now.
Seems to start off with a couple of government agents arresting (or at least trying to arrest) Jack for a number of crimes, including torture of prisoners under interrogation etc (he's only saved the damn country 6 times - and died twice while doing it!). So, trying to arrest Jack - the governments first mistake.
It seems to go on with Jack operating outside, even against the government while protecting some refugees/children (not too sure on this, only caught part of the clip) - and was that Robert Carlyle I saw in the trailer, asking Jack for help?
24:Exile is touted as a break-away from the CTU-oriented plots of Seasons 1-6, but how will it fair in comparison? It's a risk, since the format has worked extremely well so far.
24 is still a show that is gripping - every episode! Yes, sometimes you think 'why did they do that, the idiots!?' or 'why didn;t they just do what Jack told them!?'.
I never watched the first season when it was first out - the thought of a show where each episode was 1 hour of a day didn't seem that entertaining to me - but too many people harped on about how good it was - so I watched the first 2 episodes of Season 2 when it was screened in the UK on BBC. After watching them, I went out and bought Season 1, and watched it all before the 3rd episode of Season 2 was screened - and I've been hooked ever since!
Jack Bauer is nails!
