Back in the states, it’s the day of the Inauguration of President-Elect Allison Taylor (Cherry Jones), and as she makes her inspiring speech, Jack struggles to keep the children safe from harm.
The storyline is predictable – viewers always know what Jack will do when presented with ethical conundrums – and CTU regulars are missed, but “Redemption” features a few scenes with familiar faces – Tom Lennox (Peter MacNicol) and outgoing President Daniels (Powers Boothe) – while introducing characters that will undoubtedly be in season seven: President Taylor’s son, Roger, his girlfriend, Samantha, and a menacing baddie played by Jon Voight.
Grade: B
“24: Redemption” will premiere Nov. 23 on Fox and will be available on DVD Nov. 25.
