Why is he close enough to the state of the union he can see it burning from his hideout?


Shouldn't he be a little farther away?

Get out of that series while you still can.

Enjoyed the first half of the first season. The chaos and scrambling and clean up were all extremely interesting. Once it became "The West Wing, woke version" is when it was too cringe worthy to watch.

Great show for about 1.5 season (or less) then they didn't seem to know what to do. Might have been better off as a movie.

Quit it on season 3. Wish I had quit it sooner.

It was a cool idea for a show... Just didn't know what it wanted to be or where it wanted to go. Definitely a disappointment.

I punched out when Kal Penn came on screen. I should add him to the "actors you irrationally hate" topic.

I'd argue it's a terrible idea for a multi season episodic TV show. The aftermath of a world where the entire 3 branches of govt are wiped out in an attack does not make for good TV. It is a plot device that has been done "successfully" in movies and books where you are in and out of that world more quickly, but even the Tom Clancy/Jack Ryan book that used this as a plot device was one of the absolute dumbest/cop-out plot devices of his entire writing career.

I watched 4 episodes.

The whole funeral thing was so cheesy

And now Macleith?

I wrote down exactly what I think he is going to turn out to be, so I can claim I was correct when it happens.

yeah, no way the DS is within 100 miles of DC. There were so many other factual issues with that show it made my head hurt.

Great premise - US government decapitated and so how is normalcy returned. Bit should have stopped at one season
