Designated Survivor was awesome. I didn’t need it to make perfect sense. Kiefer Sutherland was exactly what you expect. It helped launch the careers of McKenna Grace (his daughter, who went on to play in the new Ghostbusters movie, one of which she sang the ending to) and Jamie Clayton (his sister in law, trans woman played by a trans actress; she went on to appear in sense8 and some other stuff). That One Scene in season 2 I’ll never forget. When they cut Kiefer Sutherland’s mic. One of the actor’s best scenes. I loved Designated Survivor… but maybe more for the acting than the plot. Oh yeah, and Michael J. Fox as a character with Parkinson’s. That show never stopped winning. It wasn’t The West Wing but it was never supposed to be.
I first saw her in Handmaid’s Tale, and then in Ghostbusters. She was fantastic in both, so I’ll agree that if Designated Survivor launched her career then it was worth it.
Maybe I owe the show another chance but I just remembered losing interest so quickly. I can’t remember if it was after or during season one but I just stopped caring what was going on at some point.
