24 Series 4

This latest series of 24 is pissing me off. It's so full of holes, dodgy plans & screwy concepts that I'm now hoping the bad guys are going to win out. CTU & all are doing such a bad job, & the bad guys are as competent as ever suggesting that they deserve to succeed. Plus we don't like the president much after the antics of season 3. So essentially, if such dodgy methods exist (that I'll not mention so as to avoid spoilers) then they deserve to be exploited.

Weak, poorly paced, unlikely scenarios, unlikeable characters & contrived reasoning. Why so much poorer than the last series?
