Season 3 of 24 continues to be fast-paced and engaging, but it isn’t up to the standards of season 1 or 2. The plot doesn’t hold together nearly as well and some of their style and methods has become predictably annoying. Benjamin and I joke that you should have to take a drink every time someone says “You’re just going to have to trust me” (or an equivalent). They’re really into that trust dilemma and it becomes a cop-out after a while. However, it was good enough that we watched the whole thing and are looking forward to season 4, which we hear is very good.
