24: The Rookie - Day 3, Episode 5 Recap

24: The Rookie feels almost like a parody of 24. Everything about The Rookie is exactly like 24, except infinitely worse. The acting, the production, the graphics, the plot – it's just a shortened, dumbed down version of 24. It's a good lesson in storytelling – 24 works because of how epic it is. The story can play out over a number of twists, double crosses and surprise death because there's 24 episodes to work with. On something like The Rookie, the sped up story makes for a less than satisfying product. But, for what it is, The Rookie is entertaining enough.
