Is anybody watching the new show Designated Survivor? I thought the first show, where nearly everyone in the Fed Government was blown up at the State of the Union address, was pretty much even-handed. Now I am having second thoughts.
My personal jury is still out on it. But if it starts to veer towards Obama-land, I’m gone. I don’t care if it’s Keefer or not. Troubling is the fact that he seems like a pu$$y in the first two episodes.
I totally agree with your observation. I used to watch Blue Bloods also, until they had a terrorist attack and the reluctance of Muslims from a NYC mosque to cooperate in an investigation was shown as justified because of the bias and hatred of the “honkie cops”.
I set out up on my DVR but didn’t get around to watching it and probably won’t after reading this and Jazz Shaw’s review the other day. I get enough leftist propaganda every day through osmosis. I’m certainly not going to affirmatively subject myself to more.
Very disappointed last night, and the comments on the show’s message board on IMBD reflect that they are about to alienate half their audience.
Didn’t the 2nd episode deal exclusively with Islamaphobia? I didn’t watch but my daughter canceled series recording after 2nd.
Watched the first ep. Couldn’t get past 15 minutes of the second. Not hopeful.
I heard Rush talking about this show the other day. He said he can’t watch it anymore because of the second episode. I don’t have cable, but I found it on Amazon Prime (for a fee). I’m going to pass.
I haven’t watched this week’s episode yet but am in the same boat. If they show they don’t want us conservatives watching, I’ll happily oblige. There are other shows.
I saw the first week and taped Weeks 2 and 3.
My early verdict is that it’s good.
Maybe. I don’t remember that much....there was the State problem and it was about ILSLAMS, but he still seemed like a pu$$y most of the other times. I’ll do one or two more episodes and see.
DOA Episode Two.
I have been watching it—some political bias is showing for sure—and I expect it to get much much worse.
The White House staff in chaos scenes were quite amusing.
I wonder if the General will try for the coup attempt!
There was an earlier thread where most viewers bailed. I watched most of the 2nd episode but when they started showing a muslim kid getting beat I turned it off and stopped recording it. Any show coming out of hollywood with politics in it @#$^#^*%*(%^&. But I did watch west wing.
I was thinking I’d like to see it. glad I used my time other ways.
Reason #1 why now pretty much the only shows I watch are KDramas.
Braindead without the ants??? I stopped watching that one too.
Thanks for the confirmation. i have it on series record, but will cancel if it veers much further Left. And yes, Sutherland’s character is outing himself as a creepy metrosexual. No strength except against the opposition party (that’s us).
I pegged the military general as the baddie within the first 15 minutes, then changed the channel.
I don’t necessarily mind a show which depicts Democrats as “the good guys”. Mind you, I don’t find such a plot device to be realistic, but I’m willing to grant a little poetic license and accept the possibility that Democrats might want to do good things for the country.
But I draw the line at plot devices which force people like me into a constant role of “threat to civilization”. It’s rude. It’s untrue. It’s boring. I don’t watch such propaganda.
