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? ---

It’s great…but if you hate kim, she does some REEEEEEALLY stupid stuff this time around. However she does do a lot of running without a bra, so that helps. ---

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. 😃 ---

Can they pick up the BBC in Sweden? If so, my get-rich-slowly sceme may be collapsing around me! 🙂 ---

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? ---

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](http://fox.com/24/season1/) has minute-by minute recaps of both seasons so far.
