All told, the “new-ish” Designated Survivor seems serviceable, if not (though understandably) in the same league as the venerable White House drama it aims to emulate. Read full review

The president staff is always represented by the same 4-5 people and president Kirkman is starting to get annoying, just by being way so nice and reasonable that even doctor Phil is more edgy.… Expand

The first season of "Designated Survivor" far exceeds what the second season has offered viewers so far.

The show's writers should have extended the plot line as to who destroyed the capitol building instead of wrapping everything up last year. That would have made for a moreThe first season of "Designated Survivor" far exceeds what the second season has offered viewers so far.

Second Season of Designated Survivor falls way short comparing to the first season. With conspiracy story lines coming to an end, unimportant every-day presidential crisis seems to be largely boring.

The show is little more than childish garbage, the president is so nice and goody-goody it makes you want to puke. The FBI chick is the feminazis let loose again, the only thing I haven't seen her do yet is walk on the walls and ceiling. These TV/movie people have yet again moved from reality with a touch of artistic licence, through corny and barely believable all the way to childish, completely unbelievable, a joke and a waste of time.… Expand

this is one of those times when a new show started off with such an interesting premise and was fun and engaging in a guilty pleasure kind of way but went quickly downhill and jumped the shark really early.

A meandering plot hamstrung by stiff acting and bad dialogue. The new characters bring nothing but more cliches to the party.
