Designated Survivor

Session one was great - 9/10. Session two - 6/10 and unfortunately session three - don't bother watching. It's a shame they couldn't continue with the story from session one. The story line in session one was exceptional it definitely kept you wanting more. The only reason I watched session two and three was because session one was so good. I don't normally like that type of political drama but all the different incidents made the ending unpredictable. Sorry Netflix you could have gone with session two's story line but you decided to to go off on your own crusade and agenda. The cast in session one was great.

This show started off REALLY well. I was right into after Season 1. Season 2 fell apart, after awhile I realized that if I wasn't watching episodes back to back there would be at least a week in between shows so the randomness might not be as blatant, like characters just vanishing off the show with sometimes not even a mention. The formula of crisis is introduced, crisis is explained as how it will hurt the presidents reputation, crisis is averted with some kind of personal sacrifice from the president. Rinse and repeat after every episode.

I stopped about 3/4 of the way through season 2. I just can't do it anymore with this show. I don't remember seeing a show tank as fast as this one. Super disappointing with where this show went. I think if you are looking for a political drama The West Wing would be better.

Started off brilliant, season one is fantastic. Season 2 is just as good. But the whole tone of the show changes in season 3, ruined it for me. As it was only ten episodes, I stuck with it, it just got worse. It was like some of the characters personalities completely changed in the third season. What's great about seasons one and two, is it's just as it would be if Jack Bauer ever became president, loved that! The acting is great in the first two seasons, and the storylines are great, quickest I've ever got through so many episodes of any show.

So to sum up, definitely worth a watch, but probably best to forget they ever made a third season!

This show is one of my favourite Netflix Originals. It kind of combines House of Cards (2013) with 24 (2001) really well with it being half political drama and half action thriller. All of the main cast play such amazing, likeable but flawed characters. Season One is by far the best because you just had no idea where it was going, season two kept the suspense with a different story every week but still had long running stories. Season three however wasn't that good. It had some good moments but it just felt like a very different show.

Season One and Two were fantastic: Interesting, gripping, great cast and production. I couldn't wait for the next episode. After Netflix took over Season Three, I stopped watching after about one-third of the episodes. Season Three is obsessed and strategized with misguided identity politics, "politically correct" content, and crass language. The screenplays for Season Three are amateurish and nowhere match those of Season One and Two. Strange, when Netflix produces, things get sleazy.
