Designated Survivor
Keifer Sutherland's next TV series
On the night of the State of the Union address, an explosion claims the lives of the President of the United States and all present members of the Cabinet. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Tom Kirkman, who was named the designated survivor, is immediately sworn in and struggles to prevent America from falling into chaos, unaware that the attack is only the beginning of what is to come. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design...28TV_series%29 |

Watched it tonight, thought it got off to a slow start with the focus on his family instead of terrorism and him being the President.
Has some good possibilities.

Kinda what I thought also just to much focus on technical stuff triyg to be accurate to a T. I think once it settles in and gets on to the plot it will get better I hope.

But could you imagine being put into that spot we kind of see how Harry Truman felt after be left in the dark and left out of meetings with FDR. Sutherland puking his guts out in the toilet must have been what old Harry did also.

Might make good TV how this type of person is thrown into such a powerful position. They will certainty be able to weave current events into the storylines.

I thought it was fantastic and not slow at all. The puking thing was a great touch but he quickly turned "Jack Bauer" in the meeting with the Iranian diplomat.
It "feels" like 24 to me, with obviously Keifer, Sean Callery (composer), etc. but I welcome it because I absolutely loved "24", save for the last full season. I enjoyed the shortened season. They got me at the end, too. "Dammit! It's over?!!". |

I agree the end and the previews look a little Jack Bauerish for sure.

I liked that episode much better. Tighter script and story line. Keifer is going to kill it in this role.

the most recent episode has to be the dumbest of the bunch. absolutely terrible acting. i've been on the fence for a bit, but last night was too much. i will wait to hear back from others, but man it was bad.

This was fairly interesting in the beginning. Now it's just mindless tripe. |

Now, it’s about politics, passing some bill. Personal drama issues with the staff etc. it’s lost it’s way and is off the tracks.
