Is season 6 of 24 really not worth watching?
 
I've had numerous people who love 24 tell me not to bother watching season 6 because it's so awful. Season 5 was even starting to become unwatchable for me and I just wanted it to be over with. With season 7 coming up soon, I'm wondering if I should watch season 6 just so I'm caught up for the new season, but there is always the chance s7 will suck just as bad or worse than I heard s6 did.

I wish I hadn't watched it. I'll give 7 a chance though.

As bad as it was for a season of 24, i still think it was somewhat enjoyable and i would recommend you to watch it.

It was easily the worst season...very frustrating and slow but still decent. I don't think you should go out of your way to watch it though.

It was ok.. just not great by 24 standards. In my opinion still good entertaining television.

its pretty bad but just play it in the background while you're browsing the internet or something.

I'd recommend watching the previews for each episode in a row and call it good. It will be quicker and better then the actual episodes.

I love 24 but I tuned out after 10 episodes of season 6 and still have no idea what happened or how the season finished.

With that being said I'm still stoked for season 7.

Seriously, season 6 was terrible, there are so many better options out there if you're looking for entertainment. If you're just looking to catch up so you won't feel lost starting season 7, read a summary of the season somewhere.

I blocked just about everything about S6 from my mind. S7 looks very gimmicky based on the preview.

In one episode of season 6, Jack Bower (Bauer?) does nothing but sit around waiting for someone to get dressed. I'll let you decide if you want to watch it or not.

Actually, watch the first episode. There are a couple of awesome scenes. All downhill from there.

True. Vampire Jack rocked but we never saw anything close to that again.

Depends how annoyed you get when shows you enjoy have a terrible season/episode etc.

If you don't mind because it's still entertaining enough despite the drop in quality, watch it.

For me, it was pretty annoying and worse than previous seasons, similar plot lines to previous seasons, some lame plot lines and characters, etc. Had some good moments though for sure.

You could certainly get away without watching it though. Read summaries as the guy above said if you plan on doing that.

Re: Is season 6 of 24 really not worth watching?
 
Based on the feedback here and noticing that wikipedia has a nice summary for the episodes, I think I will be passing on s6. Thanks for all of the input.

Season 6 totally killed my interest in 24. I got about 10-12 episodes into the season and couldn't watch any more. Absolutely [censored] terrible.

I have debated reading the rest of the episode summaries to catch up, but after seeing the preview for Season 7 I am pretty sure I am done with 24.

The first 4 episodes were amazing, so at least watch them.

basically what will happen if you watch season 6 is you'll be like "hmm, i guess season 5 really wasn't that bad"

after a few months though you'll probably just block most of it out from your memory in an attempt to hold on to a slight nostalgic hope that future seasons won't suck

If you're a genuine 24 fan (ie you've watched just about all the seasons so far and haven't been 'disappointed' yet) watch season 6. It's not as good as 1 or 3, but it's still 24 and still very watchable.

It's like an adaptation of the worst 24 fan fiction the "writers" could find.

DO NOT WATCH

Re: Is season 6 of 24 really not worth watching?
 
I think it would be a lot better on dvd/dvr when you could wade through the crap. first 4 hours are solid and there are a few other scattered good parts. (ie: Jack's solo battle with the terrorists)

Re: Is season 6 of 24 really not worth watching?
 
Waste of time. Don't watch it.... The greatest twist was (or at leas it was supposed to be) some stupid president from a previous season, whom we didn't give a [censored] about, getting stabbed.....

All season was a huge *yawn*

Re: Is season 6 of 24 really not worth watching?
 
Ok I just watched the first 4 episodes since I was super bored. Major gripes:

1) Jack "I'll explain it later" Bauer. FFS JUST TELL HIM YOU KICKED THE BOMBER OUT OF THE SUBWAY TRAIN GOD DAMN IT I HATE YOU (via what should have been an unbreakable plastic window)

2) Insubordination. I get it... this is a reoccurring theme. I hope you all explode.

3) Did they really just detonate the nuke? jesus christ come on

4) Kumar. nuff said lol

urge to delete... rising...

Re: Is season 6 of 24 really not worth watching?
 
Yeah, if you are already annoyed after the first four episodes you will most likely kill yourself by episode ten. Stop before it's too late. It gets really bad really fast after the first four episodes.
