Netflix's "Designated Survivor" anyone?

It is an interesting concept for sure. Face paced. Kind of a House of Cards knock off, without the brilliant script and actors? Despite it all, still kinda hooked.

Is the Netflix version simply reruns of the original? Are they running new episodes? Is the cast still the same as it was on the original version on Network TV? I believe Kiefer Sutherland played the designated President. Is he still with the show?

I enjoyed the show and was bummed when it was cancelled.

It’s good
If they do a fourth season, I’ll watch it

My only issue is the way they did the 25th amendment issue

Not even close to reality

The changes from network to streaming are mostly in the show itself, which has a noticeable increase in colorful language and skin exposure.

the third season. I hope that our Dem candidates' staffs are watching insofar as effective use of social media is concerned.

I didn't even notice any swearing until Kiefer got hold of a Rubiks cube.

Watched and enjoyed it on air. Think season three has found a good balance by having drawn out plots. Without out going to the extreme that season two dived into. Especially regarding the VP.
