I have not changed my overall rating for Designated Survivor yet, but the once exciting show has really changed way too much in it's second year.
None of the new characters or actors added this season have really added anything. I esp. hate the character playing by Paulo Costanzo.
I am not a person who has to have constant explosions or wars or anything of that sort to enjoy a show, but if more is to come out of the characters then they have to be likable or well developed characters.
I really hope the show gets back on the track of what it was in it's first year, but if recent episodes are the way things continue -- the once great show will see it's rating decrease for me.
I highly recommend the 1st season. The 2nd season just so so.

I know that most people regard this as the worst thing ever made, but I just don't see it that way. No I don't think it would win any awards for the best sitcom or comedy out there, but I do think that for just on the basis of entertainment I enjoy it. After all that is what we sometimes need is just to sit back and be entertained without having to think about anything. I think 9JKL achieves that....at least for me.
My biggest complaint I would have to say is that I am so tired of Linda Lavin playing the pushy Jewish mother. I would love to see her in a good role like she had on Alice.

I remember when I first saw this I was high on the love of Charlie's Angels and anything that the actresses from that show did. I thought this was the best thing I had ever seen. And then a few years later I saw it again without the rose colored glasses and was not as enthralled with it.
I have also recently leaned or at least reminded of a lesson I have always known -- often these shows are not as good as the books they are based on. Now the book The Users by Joyce Haber is not the greatest book out there, but it is far better than the mini-series they based on her book. Watching the mini-series and reading the book now it is almost as if they took the names from the book and wrote them a totally different story.
Forget the series and read the book.
