ABC’s new political thriller Designated Survivor looked like one of the more intriguing new shows coming to TV this season. The network promised a compelling series that would tap into our fears regarding terrorism and examine what we as a country look for and need in a leader.
Personally I’m also a fan of Kiefer Sutherland and was happy to see him back on TV. The concept behind Designated Survivor plays out like the type of scenario that counter-terrorism agent Jack Bauer worked to foil each season on 24. It’s as if we’re getting a look at what might have occurred if Jack hadn’t been so good at his job.
