Designated Survivor: anyone watching?

[hoosierdoc]

I'm nearly done with the pilot and am already hooked. Hoping it's going to continue to be good. I like kiefer but admittedly I only really know him from 24.

the speech writer guy is actually a democrat speech writer for Obama. Go figure.

I've been watching and really like it. Hopefully it continues to satisfy.

I watched the first several episodes. I had high hopes but I just don't like Kiefer's character. He is just too weak.

He is weak, but they seem to be developing him into a more aggressive guy. Though this last episode had him questioning himself a little more than what is comfortable. It has lots of twists, which I like.

Season over yet? May watch but would rather have it in one entire slug.

I liked the first 2 episodes, but it's gotten weaker as it's gone on (IMO). Wife stopped watching it. I may give up soon if it doesn't turn around.

 

[bwframe]

Agreed, it went downhill fast. I gave it up after 2nd or 3rd episode. Couldn't hardly take the military head bad guy stereotype.

 

[hoosierdoc]

You guys aren't building this up the right way for me

 

[Spear Dane]

I don't think the char is weak at all. He suddenly went from Sec HUD policy wonk to President. He is not used to having or handling power and is cautious and feeling his way as he learns the job. I think he is very realistically written and I sure would hope that if that scenario really happened the new Prez would not suddenly start lobbing bombs in the general direction of the middle east.

He got fired.

I loved first couple episodes, finding myself trying to stay interested now. And I am struggling with Kiefer's "whisper voice"

 

[hoosierdoc]

He got fired.

Sorry about that, sir. My mistake.

 

[Alpo]

1st episode: good

The remainder: meh.

 

[bmbutch]

Wife and I like it, not our favorite, but it's pretty good.

 

[Goodcat]

We binged watched first 4 episodes, about do another 4 after a day in the brush today.

 

[hoosierdoc]

Sorry about that, sir. My mistake.

Hah, no worries. A blow hard like that is bound to get canned

 

[nipprdog]

Just caught up with it. Started thier gun control agenda.

Good bye.

 

[hoosierdoc]

Yeah, once he announced his first 100 days agenda I quit watching. Disappointing

why is it every time we have a republican in the White House we are given a major network TV show about a hugely liberal president?
