I'm not a fan of small episodes. But then again, I'm not a fan of seeing episodes draw out a life story to get short point across. I ended up watching all 14 episodes straight through as a movie. It was better.
Kiefer's character, I did not enjoy however. I know that when watching him now we all expect Jack Bauer (and how we miss Jack), but this character was unlikeable, unrealistic and it made it seem like he was a B class actor at times. He kept on changing his accent several times and the style of acting also changed a few times towards the middle of the series. He was so patronising you wonder why his team still work with him. He could have played a better character and made the series slightly more watchable / enjoyable. That was a major disappointing factor in this show.
The story was good though and kept you on edge throughout. I'd recommend it for the story, not for Kiefer (sorry man - gotta take constructed criticism), but watch it as a movie (in full) and not as a series (split).
