I'd definitely say i'm part of the old bunch. Seasons 1-3 are still the 24 I rave about and defend against most criticisms. Season 4 is about the point where the show started to sacrifice character development in favour of action. The Logans were still awesome in season 5, though.
Without giving anything away, most of your complaints about recent seasons jack_addict aren't present in Redemption.
It's better to go in with no expectations. Being 24, I was pretty excited and slightly disappointed. On rewatch, I enjoyed it a lot more. The characters are much more fleshed out than last season. I actually cared if they survived, unlike season 6 where I was happy to see Curtis and Milo exit the show. In that regard, it was gripping. Jack's definitely more human than we've seen him in a while. It fits, too, because his character has gone through developments in the 3 and 1/2 years since the last season.
Hardy24 is right about the Inauguration part of the prequel. It takes away some of the tension from the Africa plot. Despite being connected to the coup, it doesn't FEEL like part of it. I think i'll come to appreciate this story more as the season progresses. The good thing about them making this half way through production of season 7 is that most of it should be relevant.
