    I've started watching this again, on Netflix. I watched seasons one and two since June and am now on season three, half way through it. My free subscription runs out tomorrow, so I have just over 24 hours to finish it.

    Anyone been watching it lately?

    I used to regularly go back to it and pick out a season, rewatching it over a week or so, havent done it for a couple of years, bought the 8 series box set in hmv when it was going for 50 quidish and gave my seasons 1-7 to the old man. That was well over a year ago and I havent broken out the boxset yet, getting the itch now though.

    Hell yes. Just finished season 5, my favourite season and possibly the greatest ever season of action TV. Getting myself primed and ready for the new season next year :)

    Just finished season 6 again. Not the strongest season by any means, a few too many weak characters (Nadia Yassir, Daniels) and not the best storyline throughout the season, but the scene at the end between Bauer and James Heller is one of the most powerful of the entire show, absolutely great stuff. Would love to see Audrey Raines appear in the show reboot next year. There's surely unfinished business for her and Jack.

    Such a great, great television show. It'll always be in my top 3 shows, absolutely loved it from start to finish.

    If she came back into it, she'd just get killed and we'd all feel horrible about it...all over again :(

    I'm re-watching season 8 at the moment, and by christ there is so much crappy filler. Skipping every single scene with Dana and her dirtbag boyfriend, and will probably skip anything with Omar's daughter and the bodyguard.

    The rest of it is great though.

    I never understood that Dana Walsh storyline at all, was completely pointless. The rest of that season is pretty great though. Especially when Logan arrives into it. What a legend!

    I caught the end of season 1. Watched 2-5, a few episodes of 6 and then ditched it. Might go back to season 1 again.

    I rewatched six recently. It's still by far the weakest season they did but having not watched any 24 for about 18 months or so I did find myself still massively enjoying it.

    I'll do a complete re-watch ahead of the new season coming next year.

    Season 4 isnt great either. But you generally find with 24 that each season has some excellent sections, even the weaker seasons such as 4 and 6. Season 5 is still the best, absolutely brilliant.

    I disagree, I reckon a film would probably have ended up being just another action movie, whereas the mini series will hopefully allow them to do what they do best. Really looking forward to it.

    Rewatched the show's first episode. I'd forgotten a good deal of it, including Jack being in charge from the off. A rather good pilot. The setting, key relationships and Bauer's antics are all there. Plus the CTU ring tone, and the idea of the mole. :D

    We don't find out she's the mole till the 3rd or 4th last episode. We think she is early on, but she clears her name. We don't know for sure till she calls Drazen at the end of the episode (iirc).

    I'm watching this for the first time. So sorry that I didn't watch it first time around. Great show. I'm confused tho, halfway thru S3 and it seems Nina is back on the scene. Did I misss something? The last i saw of her, she was being taken away in cuffs buy CTU after trying to get pre-emptive immunity for the murder of Jack Bauer. How did she get back out? Or is this explained later on?

    She was given a pardon and deported to a specific country, and was meant to be under watch - but somehow slipped back into the states, which is how she turns up in season 3 as part of the virus deal. Thats my recollection of it anyway.

    Almost. In S3 she isn't
    back in the States though. She turns up south of the border until CTU bring her back with them.

    Correct, my bad. Not seen season 3 for a few years. Great stuff though!
