When a terrorist attack during the State of the Union address destroys the government of the United States, an FBI agent tries to track down the perpetrators while the “designated survivor” tries to rebuild the government structure.  While this sounds like a pretty good season of 24, with Jack Bauer on the case, it made for a lackluster series where Kiefer Sutherland was stuck behind the desk as the new president.

On May 11, 2018, ABC canceled Designated Survivor after its second season, but it is expected to return for a third season on Netflix sometime next year.  I made it partway through the first season, where a missing episode made me stop.  Now that it is on Netflix, I may go back and revisit it, if I ever find the time.
