OT: Designated Survivor

Since we have a thread for every other show under the sun, I figured one more couldn't hurt.

Anyone else watch this show? Those that do, are you as obsessed with it as I am? I'm more hooked on this than I ever was TWD.

It has been a pleasant surprise. I thought it would just be about political treachery and whatnot, but its been a very engaging and entertaining show. Didn't expect to like it as much as I do.

Not as good as Blindspot, though. :)

Blindspot has becoming just an utter mess. Each week it gets more annoying when they try to bring in something topical.

I've never seen it but I know the previews just showed a constipated-face Kiefer Sutherland in every shot

It's pretty awesome.

The only thing for me is that it's very difficult to see Kieffer Sutherland in a role that's not Jack Bauer. I keep expecting him to shoot someone in the knee and scream "we are running out of time!"

See I think he still is Jack Bauer. He's just restarted him life for the 1,000th time, but this time he was successful and became the HUD secretary. I fully expect in a future episode that he breaks his cover and starts wrecking shit.

I have been watching but have not felt the need to binge like I did on Bloodlines, HOC and Stranger Things.

I love it. I just wish it moved along quicker

We like it here at the Fish house. It was a pleasant surprise, indeed, with a lot of twists and endless possibilities for the future episodes. Solid show, without a bunch of shoot 'em up bang bang, it relies on intelligent and believable plots. It did take me a couple of shows to buy Kiefer's portrayal, but he, and the show itself, seems to get better each week. Been enjoying Mars, as well. There is some good TV out there, you just have to wade through the juvenile muck to get to them.

Hmmm we watched the first 3 episodes and never got hooked, haven't watched since. Might have to restart.

The next few episodes after the pilot were a bit underwhelming but then all of the most recently aired episodes have been great. I wasn't sure if I was going to make it through earlier in the season, but I'm glad I stuck with it.

I'm totally hooked. It's not quite as intense as 24, but it's got a great storyline so far. Nothing too far fetched either. Cannot wait until March for Season 2.

I think it's still season 1. They are on a Winter Break, which is highly annoying.

I'm hooked. My wife keeps acting like she thinks it's overplayed and predictable, but I know that she's secretly hooked too.

I watched the first couple of episodes, then had a conflict for a week or so. I will have to catch up on Netflix or something. It was interesting, but some of the subplots were spoiling it for me early on.

I thought more of you'd be into it. Oh well.

If you play it, they will win.

couldn't get past the pilot...and Jack Bauer should only play Jack Bauer!

I Like it a lot. The scheduling around sports and election probably did not help the ratings. The best part for me is that it is getting better each week.

Another show I picked up on this fall was Shooter. It's also been a fun watch. It's loosely based on the Bob Lee Swagger novels, which are also great.

We are watching it, slowly. We watched the first 2 episodes and found it worth keeping up with. Then cable disconnected due to a move. Back to watching, but slow with moving and holidays.

We're hooked.

We like it as well. Have missed the past few episodes, so we need to get caught up before it returns, but I've been pleasantly surprised with this show. Hope it has a good run for several seasons.

Bothered by the fact that Kiefer is Canadian and not eligible to be President. It eats at me every time I watch the show.

Just watched the final episode! Damn it. Way to tease until it starts up again in MARCH!

The second half of season 1 has started. Just as good as House of Cards. I mean Faaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuk!

Not predictable. Never saw it coming! Whoa!

Kiefer Sutherland. Nuff said. Also, the hot staffer.

@vtscottyb

She's highly qualified.

If you play it, they will win.
