24 - really?

昨日、満を持して24を見ました。
まずは最初の午前0時から3時まで。

.....これはどうなの?
なんだか話がごちゃごちゃしててまとまりがないし、「誰も信用するな」と言われて、周りが全員敵だと思ってみてると逆に緊張感が無くなる。何が起きてもジャック・バウワーは当然無傷だし。
別にこの先の展開も気にならないし、きっともう見ないなー。
ハマった人いますか?

I watched first three episodes of 24.
I don't really know how popular it is in other countries, but everyone loves it here. I wanted to see what the big deal was and so I did.
I can see why it's popular but it's not for me. The story has lost its tension because you are told not to trust anyone so you don't expect anyone would help Jack Bauer. I lost my interest quite fast and I realised I was sitting back there and watching it. And I feel the story is at sixes and sevens and it seems only the facts are told, not the process. In that regard, I definitely prefer CSI.
Has any of you seen 24? What do you think?
