First episode was good but I feel like that was the easy part. One thing that bugged me was the commercial break then maybe two minutes of the show and then more commercials later in the episode.

I've found recently that it's nice to turn my head off at night so some of them aren't so bad. I haven't watched a sitcom in years though.
Alright everyone, place your bets on who the mole is going to be. Chief of Staff seems shady to me.
My wife an I were huge 24 watchers so we feel obligated to watch every Kiefer Sutherland series. Other than the obvious "what good is it to have your designated survivor within eyesight of the rest of the group" problem, it seems interesting and we'll keep watching. We are always on the hunt for a series that we can be into together.
I thought that was corny too. Even so, if there was an attack, I am pretty sure they take the president to Air Force one and have him fly around until it is safe for him to be back on the ground. I think this is what happened to Bush during 9/11. You don't take the president to the White House.

Looking forward to Kirkman going full Jack Bauer. It's going to happen.
You sound like my wife. Can't just let me watch something and let it be revealed on the show. Have to actually think and blurt it out two minutes ahead of the reveal.
in case you wanted to know how This Is Us went in our house.
No spoilers - I recorded that but haven't watched it yet!You sound like my wife. Can't just let me watch something and let it be revealed on the show. Have to actually think and blurt it out two minutes ahead of the reveal.

Sorry. I figured there was really nothing to support my theory other than not trusting men lol.
Same here. One in, but still on board.
Let me guess, you are surprised at the grouch, old, white general being a war-monger?
That's the first thing I said to my wife when I saw him on the phone. I knew those two were not going to get along.
Then an hour or two after losing the complete leadership of the U.S. government he somehow finds time to eavesdrop outside his kids room (in the white house).
I think they could actually do some interesting things with this story. Everyone is only thinking about the president being dead but you're also going to have to replace everyone else. Supreme Court justices, House, Senate, etc. What a perfect time to get rid of the 2 party system.
The house and senate would happen on the local level. The house has to be replaced by elections, per the constitution, but the senate could be reconvened sooner, as governors can appoint senators in most states.
I wanted to like this show but I have found it predictable, cheesy, and full of manufactured drama through two episodes. Pretty much what I should have expected from a network show.
