Can't see I've ever seen a show have the main actor out in front of a camera summarising what happened in previous seasons ahead of a new one. Wish Kiefer would get back to what he does best - Jack Bauer.

Bauer - The Zimmer Years? Pass.

Its the show I love to hate watching. It's so bad its almost good.
Hannah - weights about 3 stones but has no problem knocking the skulls off a gang of fully armed men
Kirkman - he who must whisper everything or shout everything (annoyed my in 24 as well)
Plot holes so many plot holes

I can't wait to start hate watching this show all over again.

I gave up on this about half way through season 2. Does it get better after that?

doesn't get better or worse. It's the same thing repeated.

This. I don’t rate it in any area but I love it all the same.

Perfect trailer for what the show is. Clearly, the writers sat a pot of ingredients - anger, drama, political fails, etc, let it simmer on the oven for a bit and this is the stew. And also Mark Greene!

Arrives this Friday coming.

Had thought it was today. Friday is great for it, start the weekend with something easy watching.

That and I may go see John Wick too, perfect!

All 10 episodes are now on Netflix

Watched the first 2 episodes it needs to stop being The West Wing light and give more action from Maggie Q.

Wait. What? How is this STILL going, surely the designated survivor, survived? lol

Doesn't take long to getbored of their walking corridor meetings

Only just starting episode 4 but certainly benefits from the binge watching - so much going on in the show it was always hard to follow what was going on
Enjoying it again!

They are really taking advantage of being on Netflix with all the swearing, the longer episodes also help and using real life interviews is interesting.

Agent Coulson

Bernie Sanders just used

starvation wages

term just days before this dropped and they got it into episode 4.

Late edit to go with the real life interviews they are adding into to it?

Yeah, seems to be the in thing, makes it more realistic in a way

Agent Coulson

I think they are trying to give Deadwood a run for it's money with the cursing in it.


C0ck sucker is the only curse they haven't used yet.

extra gravy

Aaron's girlfriend wrecks my head.

Just finished it , thought it was much better than last season

Mr E

Half way through. Really enjoying it.

The swearing is jarring, through.

Yeah it takes a while to get used to it. It definitely works having all episodes available straight away and ten episodes was just right. Can see Netflix giving it one more season seeing they did the same with Lucifer

fritzelly

Good season, enjoyed it more than previous seasons
The swearing seems to be there because they can plus the gay couple, gay bashing, trans character - did I miss anything? All seems a bit forced to attract an audience as I don't remember any of it from previous seasons
The real news reports/testimonials was a nice touch tho.

Really enjoying it, had watched it from the beginning anyway and it was a little bit of a guilty pleasure as it was so cringey in parts but this season is really good.

Hope Aaron and Emily end up together, the one that he’s with is annoying.

reminds me of the first season of Homeland

they got rid of it fairly quickly and hopefully the same applies here

Assisted suicide?

This is laden with SJW messaging and some of it is right on the nose.

Aside from that it's actually an ok season, better than the previous 2. But it was still missing something and I can't figure out what it is...

Thought it was watchable and mostly entertaining. It's like one of those shows you'll watch, enjoy and then simply forget about in a day or two.

Killing off Hanna Wells. Wasn't expecting that!

I assume there will be drama with regards the recording and that will come back to haunt him …. enjoyed the scene with his shrink trying to justify his decision .

Maybe the son leo will come back as well !

Is it just me or was there this much cursing in the other seasons??? It doesn't bother me, just wondering as I don't remember Kirkman ever saying 'fcuking' while on the jacks in any other season.......
