Has an all-star cast and starts off great as an ex-president dealing with an unknown terrorist threat that takes down the electrical grid of the US. But then starts to meander and ultimately crashes with a strangely surprising but anti-climactic ending. After it all, I can't say that the 5-hour investment was worth it at all as the entire series just starts to evaporate from my mind with no lasting impression.

Overall a good thriller which kept me watching til the end. Would probably be more popular if Adolescence wasn't overshadowing its release. Unfortunately, this did come along with some questionable writing and acting. The Roger Carlson subplot was unneeded, didn't make much sense, and didn't go anywhere. The timing of the train accident was really odd as gates would have already been down. There's some other questionable plot points as well, but hard to describe without spoilers.

good cast, good acting. but essentially a 5 hour movie with too much filler.

Good to see De Niro back in a decent role.
