Designated Survivor is great and enjoyable because of the people involved in it... but also increasingly predictable. They have this structure of:

  • "Kirkman is dealing with this situation today"
  • "Situation goes terribly bad, there's a dilemma, decisions to be made"
  • "Kirkman saves the day"
  • And meanwhile, "Agent Wells investigates"

I like the show because I love to see Kiefer Sutherland and the supporting cast has been wonderful as well, and it's been a "feel good" show, really - even when the outcome of Kirkman's problems is not that great, there is still a positive message being shared. And what can I say about Lyor's scenes, always on point. However, I fear that without innovation the show doesn't have much of a future, especially with the investigation stuff not being that interesting. We'll see what happens.

@playsonic2 yes, it’s getting too predictable. I knew the people in the space station would be ok. I wish I didn’t know andnit was more suspenseful.
