I don't think this is Constitutionally accurate. It can't be an appointed person who becomes President. The designated survivor can not be the current Secretary of State, but a current member of congress. Only 434 house reps are allowed to be in attendance for the SOTU speech. The other congressman would be put where Keifer Sutherland is now for exactly what Keifer Sutherland has now become. That would be Constitutional.

It was a pretty poorly written show. They blow up the capital with dozens of Russian land mines? The congressman that survives was ok with killing all his coworkers but not ok killing a co-conspirator? His wife was totally cool with dying for the cause though?

[@fearisthemind-killer]

When this show first came out, I was hooked. But the network started pre-empting it with everything and anything. You watch one episode and at the end, "In two weeks on Designated Survivor...". You watch that episode and at the end, "In three weeks on Designated Survivor...". It slowly pulled me out of it. At one point, it took like a two-month break or something; I never went back after that.

When construction happened on our street, I could feel it through my bones. It rattled the whole building, sometimes like that scene in Jurassic Park with the T-Rex coming. I could hear the noises through noise cancelling earbuds which can drown out fireworks. I asked him after work one day how he was handling it. He said he never heard nor felt it.

Maybe fewer episodes for Season 3, but no commercials means about an hour. Plus, it’s on a premium network so maybe a bigger budget to work with. So, there’s that upside.

[@MHLegacy]

While this is an epic scene, the central problem with this setup is that the designated survivor would either: (A) NOT be in Washington D.C. at all, in case of a nuclear strike; or (B) if they WERE in D.C., it would be in a protected, underground bunker and definotely NOT somewhere they could open a window curtain and see the Capitol. The most likely scenario is that they are a safe distance from D.C. at a military base or other facility with protected access to communications networks for the military, emergency services, homeland security, CIA, FBI, and FEMA, to name a few.

I was just rewatching this and I look at the part with Kirkman and his daughter in a new light. The bit does serve to humanize him and show him as a husband/father. But it's actually important to the series overall. His wife says to him after that call, that he needs to learn to set limits with their daughter or she is going to walk all over him. That really is the theme of all the interactions he is going to have, once he is thrust into the role of President.

@@gustavsamuel That's true, but the events of that day showed that it is more possible

@@leodahvee So what?

[@leodahvee]

@@gustavsamuel So what? I am saying that a situation like this is more possible now, with all this polarization and increased tensions between the left and the right, a domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol is likely now more than ever.

This is probably the best part of the entire series. and i mean this 4 minute long spit...not the whole 1st season. like battlestar gallactica (both iterations), before it, it get windy and full of itself the longer it goes on. good four minutes, maybe the 1st episode, but the rest is ballast.

This show was so good in the first season or so then it just went completely off the rails.

Because by the basic premise it really can’t be sustained for more then a season or two there’s little chance of him getting reelected just for the fact that he wasn’t voted in in the first place on top of that the link to the tragedy

[@josephcrawford-senger5163]

This was awesome series especially for the first season. In my opinion the should’ve done things differently during season two

[@silvereagle2061]

Defiantly for season 3

[@boqndimitrov8693]

so many talented actors are rarely gathered together! the series was good, but with these actors and better screenwriters, it would have become a classic, with at least 5 seasons or more. ❤

Brilliant series.
