It's entertaining and literally starts with a bang. Interesting idea to make into a TV show. Strong start but becomes a little shallow towards the middle with no clear focus on what this is about - politics or action. While it could be both it is not mixing well. A shorter season would have help the pace and kept a lot of unneeded stuff out. Sutherland plays a good and believable part so does most of the cast. But the whole show is at times over dramatized. The score, the fanfares almost every second scene, it drips patriotism which probably not everyone can relate to. And of course the bad guy gets away in the S1 finale. So either this show ends with the conspirators caught at the end of the second season, because dragging this on through several more seasons would be boring as hell. It was a good way to get the ball roling but after it was discovered that it was national terrorism and not muslim it basically went nowhere but sideways. Or they turn more towards the politics and show the problems in rebuilding but that too might not be enough for x number of seasons. Either way, right now I don`t see how this show can run for many more seasons.
