24: Legacy Season One Finale Review – ’11:00 PM – 12:00 PM’
Ricky Church reviews the season one finale of 24: Legacy… 24: Legacy’s finale arrived with Carter facing down 24 veteran Tony Almeida in a bid to save Rebecca’s life from Naseri and bin-Khalid. It was a pretty good finale full of tension that brought to a close many of the series’ loose ends. This didn’t […]
24: Legacy Season 1 Episode 8 Review – ‘7:00 PM – 8:00 PM’
Ricky Church reviews the eighth episode of 24: Legacy… Once again, 24: Legacy didn’t disappoint. Following up from last week’s tense episode, ‘7:00 PM – 8:00 PM’ doubled down on Carter’s situation with his plan to destroy bin-Khalid’s hard drive going horribly wrong and deciding he and Andy were expendable for the greater good. All […]

Ricky Church reviews the seventh episode of 24: Legacy… Over the last couple weeks I’ve been disappointed with the quality of 24: Legacy, but the latest episode, ‘6:00 PM – 7:00 PM’, improved things quite a bit on several fronts.

24: Legacy Season 1 Episode 6 Review – ‘5:00 PM – 6:00 PM’
Ricky Church reviews the sixth episode of 24: Legacy… Corey Hawkins is still one of the best aspects of the series and really sold Carter’s own frustration with CTU throughout the episode. From standing up for the now deceased-Grimes to telling them off for getting his name leaked, there was a lot for Carter to […]
24: Legacy Season 1 Episode 11 Review – ’10:00 PM – 11:00 PM’
Ricky Church reviews the eleventh episode of 24: Legacy… Though I’ve been slightly disappointed with the last couple episodes of 24: Legacy, its penultimate episode actually brought the quality up by several notches. ’10:00 PM – 11:00 PM’ focused a lot on the characters and story rather than pulse-pounding action, though the final few minutes […]
24: Legacy Season 1 Episode 10 Review – ‘9:00 PM – 10:00 PM’
Ricky Church reviews the tenth episode of 24: Legacy… Well, the comparisons to 24: Legacy and its predecessor grew even more with its latest episode. The cast once again gave a strong performance, but not even they could elevate ‘9:00 PM – 10:00 PM’ past its story problems. One of my constant criticisms of the […]
Fox cancels 24: Legacy, but looking at other potential 24 spinoffs
Last month FOX announced that 24: Legacy had been put on hold due to star Corey Hawkins’ commitments to the Broadway play Six Degrees of Separation, which took a potential second season off the table for this fall.
