The seventh horrible day in the life of Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) brought 24 back from the brink of ridicule, delivering a much more effective thrill ride than season six.

Wahhh, too much torture! Wahhh, CTU has no credibility! Wahhh, why is Jack always yelling? Wahhh, why is this all so boring? Wahhh! Torture! Wahhh! Did I mention wahhh?

At its best, 24 has always had elements of the classic Westerns they don't make anymore. Now 24 is back, and so is its Western heart.
January 11, 2009
All in all, 24 is off to another typically rousing start, with the fate of innocents abroad and at home in the balance.
January 11, 2009
24 makes a feint toward change, before getting back on the same old mechanical cowboy ride.
January 11, 2009
In this context, one more conspiracy, one more betrayal, can never be much of a surprise; worse, it's not even going to be that much fun.
January 11, 2009
The most effective masculine melodrama.
January 11, 2009
There already seems to be more planned-out storylines and overall story arcs than in previous 24 seasons, which can only be a good thing.
January 11, 2009
24 is a significant cultural artifact because of the way it reflected (and sometimes exploited) post 9/11 anxieties, and for the energy and innovation it brought to the serialized drama format.
January 11, 2009
Kiefer Sutherland returns as Jack Bauer in the seventh season of what must be considered one of the most intense hours in television history.
