The good news is the limited series is just as entertaining.

The show will skip hours here and there, but the "24" clock will continue to run, and if the first two hours are any indication, the time away has been good for the franchise.

The reason to watch 24: Live Another Day isn’t for ideology. It’s to get caught up in a fast-paced, high-powered adventure played out by people we care about.

The revived 24 is still instantly involving and packed with a dizzying rush of suspenseful crescendos. The new Jack, meanwhile, is the same as the old Jack, which is to say he flips the bird in the face of terror and squirms his way out of major messes like a gun-toting Houdini--all while managing to make a man purse look good.

He anticipates pretty much every move made against him, as you might as well, given that they’re made by people designed to remind you of previous people in Jack’s universe.

Yet despite the spiffy new London locale and the four-year hiatus, 24: Live Another Day is--at least in its first two hours--more reminiscent of the run-of-the-mill later seasons as opposed to its revelatory, exhilarating heyday.

As long as all you ask of it is more familiar twists and backstabbing, you’ll probably be happy with it. If you felt (like I did) that the series had said all it had to say after eight years, the reboot looks skippable.

After a four year absence 24 is back and nothing much has really changed. Many of the issues that affected later seasons in particular (from moles inside the government to people putting their personal issues ahead of anything else) are still to be found here, even if they are mitigated slightly by the fact that this season has twelve, rather than the usual twenty-four episodes. After a slowish start however Live Another Day really hits top gear and makes for fantastically exciting viewing with all the gun fights, car chases, plot twists and cliff-hangers fans have come to expect. The show may not be as ground breaking as it once was but it great to have Jack back on our screens.
