I thought it was cute and funny. Everyone is way to hard on Addison as I thought she was fine. I think the claws are out as she now is acting. For what it is it was good. Reminded me of clueless. I don't remember the acting being over the top great in the original.

Really good and getting better
1 April 2017
I love this show. I am surprised by the negative comments as from the dates of most of the reviews they could not of watched the show enough to form an opinion much less a negative one. I think a lot of people think this was going to be Jack Bauer in the White House and that is not the case. He is not the bad ass he was but it wouldn't be believable if that happened. There have been enough twist and turns to make it interesting and for me to want to keep watching i think the acting is good and the story is tight. Am I on the edge of my seat like I was with 24 ? No but didn't expect to be.
If you are looking for non stop action and a face pace this is not the show for you. If you like politics a mystery with a good story and acting then unneeded to give this show and shot. I don't think I would be disappointed.

Big Disappointment

I really wanted to love this series as I loved 24. What I can't get over is this show is on the same channel as the original so you would think it would follow the regular and be as intense and real as the prior. This is not the case. Some parts look so fake it takes away from the intensity of the show. The acting is just mediocre but I think that's more the writing. None of the characters seem real. I think the writers followed Kiefer over to channel 7 as designated survivor has been great.
While 24 was diversified and even before it's time by having a black president then a women president this show tries to hard to make sure everyone is represented but still has the stereo typical villains. The thing that bothers me the most though is there are no " oh sh*t " moments. In 24 there where those moments that jumped out and just changed what I was thinking. Some even blew me away. You don't get that here as it is fairly predictable and there are no surprises.
It's a show living on the reputation of the prior and doesn't feel like it needs to work that hard when it fact it needs to work twice as hard to prove itself. I will stick it out this year but will not be watching after that.
