Former 24 Director and Executive Producer Jon Cassar has answered a fan on Twitter, ranking his favorite seasons of the show.
@andrewhalluk My favorite #24 seasons in order are – 5,2,7,1,3,4,6 then 8

Jon elaborates that the storytelling felt “a little tired” in the eighth season – the only season he was not creatively involved in – and that the drastic changes to Renee and Taylor’s characters “didn’t feel real”.
@BzSlick3 I think 8 is my least favorite bcause the storytelling just felt a little tired, & the Rene and president changes didn’t feel real

He also hated the Dana Walsh mole plot, much like Aisha Tyler, and the vast majority of the audience.
@BzSlick3 There are many things I liked but I hated the mole in CTU plot, as did many. And I’m happy they bought Logan back.

Cassar was happy to see Logan return though, a character that he fought to keep alive in the sixth season of the show.
