Designated Survivor - Netflix

[geeks]

Anyone started this yet? I am waiting on EP3 to drop tomorrow, good premise so far!

[esuuv]

I'm watching it - its a little bit silly but quite amusing.......

Are you in the UK? we're up to ep 4 this week I think........

[geeks]

Yeah am usually UK based but I am in Saudi this week so tied to their Netflix which in the main seems to be very similar to the US!

[DoctorX]

I'm enjoying it too.

[dub16v]

Yep, enjoying it too. Am hoping that it doesn't go too '24'...

Yes discorverd it last night and watched the 1st 2 episodes. Great so far.

Watched up to Ep 3, enjoying it so far, a good premise and done quite well, (even if the plot get's a bit 'convenient' and the characters can be a bit one-dimensional sometimes), definitely worth a watch though.

The only really unbelievable bit is that politicians would make such cynical hay after such a catastrophic incident....

I think it would be considerably better if Jack Bauer was the Designated Survivor. "In Jack Bauer's America the President assassinates you!".

I suppose there are some members of his family can could do with a good kidnapping.

(seriously, how many times did that happen in 24?!)

Watched ep4 last night and my fear is coming true...it's going a bit too '24' for my liking.

Think I'll give it one more chance but I think I might be leaving the fan club...

Binged the first 4 at the weekend, shame it's a 'network' thing and they can't dump them all at once.

Oddly, it says "weekly" on Netflix, but the next one isn't due for about 2 weeks and the one after 2 weeks after that.

Bump for the bingers. Twelve episodes are up. Starts off a bit weak but picks up the pace.

[maccas99]

I'm quite enjoying this so far, 2 episodes in...

[Shakermaker]

I'm definitely enjoying the series so far - I haven't seen episode 12 yet but will do so this weekend I'm sure.

Yes it has its flaws, but I can look past those and enjoy it for what it is!

[dsmith1990]

Tried this on Monday night and ended up binge watching 6 episodes. Enjoying it thus far!

[geeks]

There are a few out we haven't watched yet, no doubt a binge session is on the cards

[HorneyMX5]

Had a day in the sofa yesterday with a rotten cold. Browsing Netflix and bought I would give this a go.

Binged 12 episodes. Colour me hooked. It's very 24, but I loved 24 for what it was.

Did anyone finish watching this? My wife and I are bingeing on it at the moment and up to episode 15 (I think), very 24 like, if something can go wrong it probably will. The political slant is interesting, though it's pretty much now more politics and less finding out what actually happened. also, for an independent, his policies and views that we see so far are definitely "Democrat" leaning.

We watched it, very good I think, looking forward to S2

[KrazyIvan]

Yeah we (Mrs Ivan and I) watch it, is an easy not over the top binge watch. Can't see it going more than another season or two.
