Always a fan of good US political drama. Saddly this is just not clever enough. Predictable and clichéd. Trying to throw in action to keep the story growing and the background conspiracy is just that, in the background. Poor character development as few, including Sutherland, seem to get much in the way of plot or screentime. I will give it a little longer but never going to compare with the West Wing or Veep. Consider Madam Secretary instead...
So have finally got round to completing the show. Great premise, storyline was all over the place and tried to make itself clever whilst dumbing itself down at the same time. A real wasted opportunity which needed a better approach behind the scenes. US politics is primed for a decent show at the moment and this is not it...
