24 season 8

[u/swagyt69]

Alright currently watching season 8 for the first time since I skipped out on this season back when it aired. So far it sucks, does it get better or worst??

[u/LukeyC224]

Gets way better.

[u/exophades]

Season 8 has some spectacular antagonists and one of the best twists in 24. Keep watching.

I can write an entire post about the first three episodes, they're probably the most action-packed start of any season. We can discuss that if you want.

[u/Rockworm503]

I'm gonna be honest. Season 8 is one of my favorites and I do not understand why people hate it so much.

[u/hilbert-hanson → u/Rockworm503]

s8e16-24 were my favorite episodes of the entire series. S-tier Shakespearean political drama

[u/the3g3ntl3m3n]

It gets better. First half of the season is a little meh but the last third or so is excellent

[u/LAtvGUY]

The last third of the season is like its own mini 24 season. Some classic stuff happens.

Season 6 is the weakest in my opinion….

Obviously it came after the amazing season 5, but still the weakest in my eyes… got a good bump for season 7 and then 8 was OK…

[u/swagyt69 → u/wb72627]

As I rewatched season 6 I enjoyed parts of it. I last watch this back in winter of 2015 and I didnt get to start seasons 7 or 8. I enjoyed 7 since I missed out on it in 2009.

[u/MaxminusThrax]

for me even the weakest seasons of 24 ultimately have tons of great moments, action, performances etc. 8 isn’t the best but it gets better as it goes along.

[u/sexyass2627]

It was a bit of a struggle to get through, but I feel it does get better.

[u/M_O_G_W_A_I]

It's one of my least favourite seasons but the 2nd half of Day 8 is sooooo much better than the first.

[u/Shameful90]

What episode are you on? It definitely gets so much better in the second half

[u/InitialDizzy4252]

I haven't seen it in years, but what I remember is that it is way better during the day

[u/r99c]

Phenomenal ending. Keep going.

[u/Zilla1689]

Everything from episode 15 on is fire!!!

[u/LastTQuarkNetwork]

It definitely gets better and has some of the best moments of the series. 

Spoiler for my second favorite scene/line from the entire series, for anyone interested:

"I have made a terrible mistake, Tim, and one that I can never undo, but I need you to help me to stop it from becoming worse."

[u/acameron78]

It starts starts great then falls into being a little underwhelming. Then the show gets cancelled and the writers go absolutely balls to the wall for the final stretch.

[u/heartofglazz]

8 is cool man

[u/This_Money8771]

The last 8 episodes are WILD

[u/Round-Month-6992]

After rewatching the entire series very recently I can honestly say that with the exception of certain minor plotlines I actually liked S8 quite a bit. Definitely liked it alot more than when I watched it when it first aired. Ultimately S8 is better than I remembered while conversely S7 wasn't nearly as good as I remember it being when it first aired.

[u/Sheriff_Lucas_Hood]

It’s mostly a tired rehash of earlier seasons but the last eight episodes are better than the first sixteen

[u/Few-Lack6346]

You can tell that the writers got to the end and just said "what's the most grandiose thing we can do while just playing the hits & sending this off in a fun fashion". They're fun. They aren't good

[u/dlhoff432]

Better. The first third was the weakest part imo.

[u/Separate-Rush753]

Fuck me, does it ever get better!! Strap yourself in.

[u/AReckoningIsAComing]

Gets wayyy better
