This is the third hour of the 24: Legacy 24-hour day – and we’ve already been hit with enough improbable subplots and plot twists to stretch credulity, and test patience, in viewers wondering whether they want to commit to this rebooted series. Corey Hawkins, in the leading role, has the necessary charisma and smoldering intensity to carry the show – but some of the supporting characters, especially the full-on or potential terrorists, are painted with very watery brushes. At least in the first few hours… But Jimmy Smits (pictured), the king of joining established series and making his own mark, may yet do for 24: Legacy what he did for, just to name a few, NYPD Blue, The West Wing, Sons of Anarchy and Dexter. What an all-star utility outfielder! Put him in coach, he’s ready to play…
