unless Jack Bauer is trans now, i aint waitching.
This is getting out of hand.
Fox has given a script commitment to a female-led drama series in its “24” franchise. The latest iteration would maintain the real-time conceit but would be set in the realm of criminal justice.
jack bauer will never be duplicated????
This show's appeal was a vigilante Jack Baur going around breaking all the rules. And I don't think it would've lasted as long without Sutherland. This isn't going to make it one season.
It's going to be as successful as Ghostbusters(2016)
i dont think sharon stone is that smart.A female Bauer would be interesting, but who to cast in that role? You'd need someone with intelligence but has that creepy psycho vibe to pull it off.

oh come on, it wasnt that old. 16 years ago it started and it pretty much reinvented serialized television. before that they were hitting the reset button on every TV show with very few minor callbacks from episode to episode. they did that keeping in mind that some people would miss an episode and be cut out of the story loop. KS is an older man now, he likely isnt as threatening as he once was, but i fucking loved the last season he did so the magic is still there if done right.Wow I didn't realize this got canceled. We made it to like hour 5 I think... it was when the ugly agent interrogated her father in law in an enhanced manner. I dunno, it was basically the same exact tropes they used in the first few seasons. IE quick torture sessions of the bad guys, mis direction on who the bad guys actually were and their motives. I just figured that being 20 years older, what was cool then was just dumb now. I don't even think Sutherland could save this show, and to be honest the one he's working on now, is a DNC campaign video very very thinly veiled as a TV show, so he'd suck it up too.

i agree, if done by somebody else. breaking all the rules and killing the fuck out of the bad guys was jack bauer's thing. NOBODY else did it like him, so i can understand why making somebody else just like him would look like a shit gimmick. there is only one jack bauer and 24 was jack bauer. cant have one without the other.It's hard for me to explain. I just remembered Jack chasing down the bad guy who was about to blow up the city, and he'd take him into an abandoned warehouse and torture the answers out of him. Or they'd have some convoluted plot to pull something off. Things like that, and watching Legacy, it was like a check list of all the coolest moments, and they weren't so cool. I'm not saying 24 didn't totally revolutionize TV because it did. The whole concept of 24 hours being played out each week was killer, and I don't regret watching them at all. But just saying it didn't age very well is all.
