...I thought it went in an interesting direction, with an underreported situation as setting. :)

1. I liked that it took place in Africa
They've already done enough damage to Los Angeles and the US as a whole. I'd love for an entire season to take place outside the US.

I would've liked to have seen Redemption spread out. Have the embassy be evacuated in a day, as opposed to in 2 hours. Jack has 24 hours to get the group of kids to the embassy while being pursued by the rebel army.

Or Jack is in the UK and learns the IRA is planning an attack on the British PM in Belfast.

2. I thought it was pretty good.
Jack kicks some ass, gets his own ass kicked, ultimately does the right thing, etc. I found it amusing that he was avoiding a subpoena for testimony regarding his use of "harsh interrogation methods." I thought the outgoing Prez was a dick even to the end, no shocker there.
