After so much hype, I decided to try "24" and I found out it is an overrated bunch of crap!

Stupid overrated series! Jack ruined it. All his scenes were too predictable, you always knew he would win! He also keeps breaking protocols and gets away with it all the time. He is also the one responsible for gross insubordination at CTU. All these things are not realistic and cannot happen in real life without dire consequences.

As the series stretches, Jack makes it more and more boring because of the predictability of his scenes and they always find a way of integrating him into each season.

One of his ridiculous scenes was when he hijacked the president's helicopter, bullied the president and handcuffed him. Is that how easy it is to get to a president? Or do they think it is kids that are watching the series? Infact he made a mockery of the security details of the United States President.

There was another scene where he was beating the Chief of Army Staff in front of the President in the white house! Honestly the series is a joke. No wonder it doesn't score high in best series rankings.

Infact they should have named it Jack Bauer so that we can know we are watching another James bond franchise. Even bond is still orderly and follows protocols unlike this mad and erratic jack Bauer.

I have deleted the entire series from my laptop, my only regret is the data I wasted downloading it and also the time I wasted watching it.

That Series always seemed overrated to me back in the days. I watched it for some time back then but got bored and lost interest fast. I hardly saw any sense in the show.

Funny how I quickly loved alternatives like THE UNIT and another one I've forgotten the name. If people dey talk of that 24 ehn. I go just dey observe cos I no understand wetin everybody dey enjoy.

The Perfect Couple......8/10

Now this is a really good murder mystery that really kept me interested from start to finish. First new TV show I'll watch at a go within a single day/hours.

Nicole Kidman continues to solidify her prestige status. Very solid writing. Entertaining as well. A really good wild guess discovering the possible killer. Top tier cast with Kiev Shrieber and Meghan Fahy, Dakota Fanning. Top tier ensemble casting.
Netflix cooked with this one and I reckon it'd be up for awards next season.
The wild twists and turns and the end was really good. Love something that keeps you guessing most of the time.

This actress Eve Hewson hot die oo. Omo. See brezz and Latina looking yansh. Chaiiii.

I was on the fence about this at first. But after this trailer I'm a believer. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ
Even the cast list makes it a must watch for me asides the interesting premise.

The quality is unprecedented. FX really cooked here. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ

Seems there's more Creative categories this season, like stunt coordination, production design, costume design and hairstyling etc.

Which means more awards categories for some dominant shows to statpad.

You cannot be using todays eyes to look at a show that's over 20yrs old. It won't work. Back then it was the bomb. Everyone watched it. I bought all seasons after watching Some episodes of s1 back then.

Try prison break sha. S1 and 2. I'm watching it now an oldie but still very good.

Just finished the 3 episodes released. I'm still on the fence though tbh.

I understand Kevin Hart trying to break the typecasting thing , but it's almost impossible to see him through another lens of a regular actor.

I felt something he forgot he was suppose to be doing an accent, and just give chatting with his regular voice.

Terrance Howard and Samuel L Jackson really holding down the fort.

I will still see the coming episodes hopefully twill be better.

I was really scared in watching this series, cos the last show she starred in about couples was all over the place(Nine Perfect Strangers ).

Started Expats, didn't like the vibe.

I will see this one during the week, already downloaded.

I rewatched it a few years ago and it was fun

But if na japanese anime, you'll see them troupe out...

Yet they'll claim it isn't racism sad
It's not racism brother๐Ÿ‘€, it's just ignorance- any piece of art that's not Hollywood - it's immediately categorised as mediocre, it's not your fault they're just dumb

In 2 months, we witness GREATNESS!!!

Vi with the gauntlets. We're definitely getting another fight scene for the history books
I might be over-stretching but I think Arcane is just like Avatar (the blue one) - itโ€™s highly hyped and praised for a few months and after some months - no one even remembers the story or even re-inact plot by plot timelines very well despite how popular it becomes. No offense

Yeah, Prison break is good. I still have S1 to S3. I have deleted 4 & 5. I think they should just stop because it is becoming a joke already. The idea now is that he's an expert at jailbreak so they keep framing him up and sending him to different prisons around the world to help breakout some hardened criminals. We all know this is not realistic.

S1 was the bomb! 2 & 3 were also good. 4 was dedicated to finding a chip which doesn't make sense to me. 5 was another breaking out saga.

24 was a good show back then, what are you talking about? The thrills>>>> some part might be unrealistic. But the thrills grin

If you are talking about thrills and good acting, Hollywood is very good at that and you can see it in most of their movies so it is nothing special. But when it comes to the plot and storyline, how interesting, realistic and believable is it? That is what sets most of these movies apart.

Why do you think "Breaking Bad" is rated as number one on the list of best TV series of all time? It has a rating of about 9.5 or 9.6/10. It is not full of thrills, Infact some people consider it boring but when it comes to being realistic, it is as close to reality as possible and of course very interesting.

Honestly I can't remember what it was all about. I plan to rewatch the S1 before S2 come out as a refresher.

This is a whole lotta of words just to basically say you think a show is overhyped or overrated.

Lol. I just don't like it. It's too unrealistic and too easy for Jack Bauer all the damn time.
Anytime I watched it, I didn't feel one single tension that shรฏt might happen to Bauer the slightest.

That show just seems like the face of what ESPIONAGE is all NOT ABOUT for me. So I low key hate it. I'd easily take Jack Ryan over it anyday anytime.

Seen this two already. Not sure I'll see Ripley though.

Downloaded those two when they aired. Fallout, I watched the first episode, stopped at ep 2. Haven't gone back to complete it since.

Ripley, I'm two episodes in, looks interesting a bit but it's proving to be a slow burn and might not be your cup of tea.

Wow, that show had me on edge. The ticking seconds time playing a part as well. Jack was never really finding it easy. Nina killed his wife remember? He literally lost his family. He died clinically at some point, he lost his new lover in Rennee Walker, his government gave him up to the Chinese and he became dumb. Man literally became a national security threat and was a victim of a national manhunt. Shit was full of suspense the whole damn time.

I understand what you mean though but It wasn't always like that, the show gradually built the reputation he had as the seasons progressed.

Goated show, they don't make them like that anymore.
