I wonder if I would have watched this Jack Bauer thing with different eyes and a different mindset 15 years ago, when it started.

He is boring. Jack Bauer is boring, same as the president in Designated Survirvor. Those characters seem to be dripped in goodness and in honesty, to an almost unbearable level. It must have to do something with Kiefer Sutherland, who plays both parts. The personification of the American good guy. I felt repulsion, sorry.
