Here's my thing with this show. I get that everyone thinks it's stupid (and I agree that it is), and overly complicated in an extremely silly way (can't argue there either), and that the flashbacks are irritating and disruptive (I think they're fine, but to each his own) but... overall I think it's really fun? And awesome? It's just such a fantastic guilty pleasure show. Yes, it was really, really ridiculous for Leila's kidnappers to stage her escape and take over the police station she would run to instead of just holding a gun to her head and making her call Sean right in that basement or whatever, but that police station shoot-out was awesome. In fact, all the action sequences have been, to invoke an over-used comparison, 24-level fun, as far as I'm concerned. And the show even comes 24-complete with a really annoying, wish-washy President and everything!
