It’s sappy. It’s not going to win any awards for acting.

Still … I’m going to download season 2.

The premise is fascinating. The plot engaging. I did get hooked.

They do a good job of leaving a cliff hanger end of each episode.

In a world with a Toddler President this alternative looks pretty good.

Designated Survivor is an American political drama … 

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

I never particularly liked Kiefer Sutherland in the past. But he’s quite good as “Tom” Kirkman, the independent President of the United States.

My favourite character is Kal Penn as Seth Wright, a speechwriter who quickly becomes one of his closest advisors and the new White House Press Secretary.

Maggie Q as Hannah Wells, is impressive too.

Also LaMonica Garrett as Secret Service Agent Mike Ritter.
