The Beeb have started trailing the next series of 24. I started watching the first series but lost interest when none of the bad guys killed Kim - I had hoped the irritating, self centred twat would be the one to die. Anyway, with the plot discontinuities and major holes, I got bored, only watching the last episode to see how it worked out. Not good.
To all US viewers of the second series, is it any better?
I haven’t yet seen the first series – I just checked out the starting of the second on a whim, and I got hooked.
I think season 2 has been quite good so far – we’ve seen up through the first 10 hours. Yes, Kim does some stupid things, but there are plenty of other plot lines to follow. And like MaxCarnage says – lots of bouncy bouncy running on her part.
I didn’t see so much as a single second of the first “24”. Will I be able to start watching the second “24” and enjoy it? Or will there be so many ‘in’ references that I’m lost before I start?
Nah, there’s a few details that could help a bit, but most things either aren’t directly relevant, or are mentioned and explained thoroughly enough on-screen to make sense.
I’d mention a few now, but I’d rather not spoil anything for folks who want to sart Season 2 fresh.
For those interested, fox.com has minute-by minute recaps of both seasons so far.
