A political drama following a Cabinet member who is appointed President after a deadly attack on the Capitol.


After a deadly explosion kills the President and members of the Cabinet on the night of the State of the Union address, the nation is suddenly left without a Commander in Chief.

Tom Kirkman, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, had been named the designated survivor and is therefore the next in the chain of command. He is promptly sworn in as President, though he has no way of knowing that the catastrophic attack was only the beginning of a much larger plan.

Good solid series with a great plot line. One of the best offerings on the traditional networks. If anything, I'd like to see a bit of a bump up in the quality of the script dialogue.

I'm really glad that I saw that the season finale of this show is coming up soon. I have tried really hard to like this show because I'm such a fan of Kiefer, but every episode is a drudge for me to get through. I thought maybe that was because it had to do with politics but then I thought, I love Madame Secretary and Scandal. So, that wasn't it. This show just moves too slow for me and I don't find the characters to be inspiring. This role is a real let down for Keifer. He rarely acts proactive, is bewildered and overwhelmed by the happenings going on around him, and is constantly being beaten down. I know that is the storyline and maybe that is the problem I have with this show. It may be realistic in how things would happen after a calamity like this but it just isn't interesting to watch. I haven't seen a confirmation for season two and I wouldn't miss it if it were not continued.

This show started out well done and interesting. Kiefer Sutherland is great. But this show has degenerated into political bashing making Republicans out to be evil and Islamic Terrorists as patsies. I'm done.

For me, this is by far and away the best show on television. It is the best conspiracy thriller to come along in a long time. The network has to renew it, put it a solid time slot, keep it there, and let it grow it's audience. This should be a major hit show.
