Look, I watched through this entire hour of Designated Survivor and I had things to say about how once again it goes right for Kirkman or how once again we get a variation of the “I can only do what…
‘Designated Survivor’ 2×20 Review: To the Shock of No One
I’m not going to sit here and pretend this episode of Designated Survivor was shocking, no. It was textbook bait and switch, and though they executed it well, anyone who’s watched at least one procedural in their lives could have…
‘Designated Survivor’ 2×19 Review: It’s All Coming Back To Me
See, Designated Survivor, I knew you had it in you. For someone who’s been asking for drama (the good kind of drama, not the OMG I HAVE A KID I NEVER TOLD YOU ABOUT kind) and for characters to make…
‘Designated Survivor 2×18 Review: Kirkman Agonistes
Well, that was …surprising. Really, really surprising. Especially considering that this season has felt more like a slog than a sprint. We’ve survived, more than thrived, and there have been many times where I have groaned at the mere thought…
‘Designated Survivor’ Review: Overkill
I’m not exactly eating my words, not yet, but I have to admit this episode of Designated Survivor (and hopefully the rest of the Michael J. Fox arc) was pretty much exactly what I’ve been asking of the show –…
‘Once Upon A Time’: The Ending We Deserve

‘Designated Survivor’ 2×13 Review: This Should All be Really Sad
…if we, you know, cared? Harsh, I know, but had to be said. Designated Survivor’s winter finale ended with a not-so-shocking (if you’d heard the news of Natascha McElhone’s departure) death that feels way less emotional and anticlimactic than it…
‘Designated Survivor’ 2X09 Review: Three Wishes
On the first day of Christmas ….oh, wait, no. Wrong show. Right season, though, and right tone for this entirely feel-good episode of Designated Survivor. This, of course, probably means we’re in for a hard time next week, in the…
‘Designated Survivor’ 2×08 Review: Bravery or Stupidity?
You know when you’re watching a TV show and you catch yourself thinking, yeah, this sort of thing ONLY happens on TV? That was me at several points during this otherwise enjoyable episode of Designated Survivor. Because really, Mr. President,…
‘Designated Survivor’ 2×07 Review: The Prodigal Son Returns
Ten minutes into this episode of Designated Survivor, I thought, well, maybe the show is on an upswing. Twenty minutes in, I thought, this may very well be the best episode of the season. Thirty minutes in I said yay,…
