Designated Survivor

This is surprisingly entertaining. A little bit West Wing and a little bit 24, it ends up being a slightly sillier than intended whodunnit. It's weakening as it goes on, but you could do worse.

First season was ok but the 2nd season fell off a cliff. Made it a couple episodes into the second season then I gave up.

Not worth my time. I watched whole season 1 with hopes that it would get better. It just got sillier.

Based on the first several episodes... a great premise with practically limitless possibilities and a good cast are fatally sabotaged by witless, cliché-ridden writing. I shouldn't be surprised--it's network TV, which must pander to the lowest common denominator (the days where a show like The West Wing is possible are, sadly, gone forever). If the writing doesn't improve, I may not survive the first season myself. (Edit: Season 1 did improve somewhat. Kal Penn is almost reason enough to watch.)

Season 1 was great. meh after that

Propaganda as pure and uncut as an ISIS beheading video. Radical "centrism" is truly a disease of the mind, so is alcoholism. This awful, mumbling performance, clearly someone who should be getting help.

worth a watch

This is a great political suspense drama. I don't know how grounded it is to real-life politics, but it certainly helps a non-political civilian to comprehend the amount of quid pro quo and underhanding that goes behind the political stage. (Review based on first season.)

Solid entertainment. No complicated story, but interesting enough to keep watching. Good if you want something that's relaxing and not a comedy.

First half of S01 was pretty good. After that they started to stretch it and add in more and more irrelevant side stories. And based on last episode of S01 I knew they are gonna stretch it even more now. Together with recommendations of other people, I have decided to not watch after that. PS: Italia Ricci is hot.
