Designated Survivor

I've liked this show even though it's a little liberal for me. I was excited Netflix picked it up after being cancelled. Why did Netflix have to add the cursing? The show was fine without it. Language doesn't add anything to the quality of the show. I know everyone thinks it makes it more realistic but I disagree. It just isn't needed.

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 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.

I really liked "Designated Survivor" for the first two seasons (gave them a rating of 9) and was happy when they announced that Netfkix was going to do a thrid season, but not only is this season dull (do they have new script writers?) but they have added crude language and graphic sex which is disappointing. The story line of Kirkman running for president is done in a lousy way. The new characters are obnoxious straight down the line even though the actors who play them are, for the most part, decent actors. Overacted and with the feeling that everyone except Sutherland are just phoning it in. This is turning me off pretty quickly. How could Netflix ruin what was a decent series? Those of us who were watching it most likely didn't watch a lot of "House of Cards" and that is not what we want.

First two seasons were really good. Great stories, character development. Third season seems lost.

Netflix took a good thing and trashed it!
