Having been a fan of 24 since the very first episode and throughout every season (although one or two seasons were pretty mediocre!), this spin-off is quite shocking! The biggest problem, however, is the casting of the lead character- Corey Hawkins, as good an actor as he is- does NOT have the gravitas or is even remotely believable as a former Special Ops soldier. I mean, he looks like a college freshman!! The guy that played his brother would have made a better Eric Carter! That was absolutely awful casting that let the whole show down- I know we've had to stretch credibility in the past with 24 but that was a stretch too far- he's totally not believable in the lead role! And the rest of the show was just rehashed, reheated 24 by numbers. Really disappointed with this, especially given the fact that a college kid is the lead....!!!!
score 3/10
