#SAVEB99: Why ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ Deserves To Be Picked Up

‘Designated Survivor’ 2×16 Review: A Step in the Right Direction
I’ve been critical of Designated Survivor the past few episodes – a big change for me, after praising this show for it’s entire first season and most of season 2. Today, however, I’m feeling somewhat optimistic, because the show just…
