I had decided to sit the new 24 out because Jack Bauer wasn’t in it, but I keep hearing great things. I think I missed the boat.
Waiting for 24 and Persia of Interest. Like a good drama and some action. Dextter not so much.
I love action shows and movies. I started watching Person of Interest when it first came out but I was so busy. Gonna have to catch up on stuff on Netflix.
I have actually never seen any of these shows. I don’t know why, because I enjoy a good thriller from time to time.
I love Person of Interest. I haven’t seen 24:Legacy yet, but it’s in my dvr.
Some of these I have not seen before but I do like Dexter! Really want to see Person of Interest it’s on my list.
I recently started watching 24 and am only part way through the first season. I haven’t seen any of the rest.
I like Dexter until it got to the whole incest portion with his sister. Even if he was adopted, they grew up close and it was hard to get over that!
I could rewatch the original 24 multiple times again. I think I just may. it was REALLY good!
I have heard great things about 24, plus I think one of my favorite actors, Milo is in it. I’ll have to check it out.
I absolutely love action movies and I can’t wait to see these. I don’t know how I’ve missed 24 because I usually see all action movies I can find.
I need to start watching this show! I love action movies.
I have never seen any of these movies you have listed. I would love to see a lot of them though. I have some of these on my list of shows I need to watch.
I’ve heard so much about 24 Legacy I was thinking about watching. The Mister is into Gotham so I’ve seen some of that.
I am behind on my TV watching but 24: Legacy looks so good! It’s on my list for sure
