Designated Survivor (2016-2019)

President Chump

Kiefer Sutherland plays a person who is set up to be the fall guy when all the rest of the US government are blown to smithereens.

Not to worry, pretty soon Kiefer shows his mettle as he tough-talks and starts acting presidential all of a sudden. Woo-wee!

The US obsession with making fictional works about their president continues apace with this fairly tedious drama, which ends up going nowhere, with all the initial plot points quickly forgotten about in "the race to the White House".

Despite the awfulness of this show, I watched the whole of the first season, I think that Italia Ricci was the main reason.
