New Kerri Russell series. Lands on April 20.
Didn't feel any hook from the story the weaved in the trailer.
Cast looks solid. Not sure about the story, look and feel. Felt like maybe it would be a bit dull.
I agree. Watched the trailer a few days ago and it didn't grab me. Maybe Netflix's marketing team were under the weather that day.
Apple's got the best trailers this last while. 'Hey man, this is art', vibes.
Just finished this.
It's a little bit soapy, and not a visual feast,but with some former West Wing people running the show it does have some nice set pieces and mirrors political real life quite well.
Good cast for sure, maybe a few too many of them, but the storyline takes over well by the climax and I look forward to what they do with the emerging thriller aspects in Season 2.
Rufus Sewell is darkly funny and very watchable and is the real hook of the show. For only 8 x 50 mins I'd recommend a watch.
Renewed.
57.8 million hours of viewership in its first weekend.
Watched this over the last days and really enjoyed it.
Eight episodes makes it an easy watch and it’s darkly funny and ended on a cliffhanger so I was glad to see it was renewed.
I watched it this week and found it a little unbelievable in the first instance. But the sharp script and humorous interplay between the main characters got me .
Liked Keri Russell in The Americans and was not happy to see Rufus Sewell but he was excellent in this .
CIA Eidra Parks and UK Foreign Sec Dennison are great characters.
Really enjoyable , looking forward to the next season , Spring 2024 apparently .
In as Vice President
Season 2 drops October 31st
Allison Janney joins the cast for season 2 which starts October 31st.
All episodes released today!
Time to pump up the TV loud to block out the noise of Dublin fireworks and binge on this!
Excellent. I really enjoyed the 1st season and hadnt heard anything about it since until seeing this thread randomly. Great show.
Season 2 is only 6 episodes which were all fantastic and some really great acting by all involved.
Absolutely fan-effing-tastic finale!
bit lost in the first ep with all the names being thrown around that I cant remember from the first season
ep2 Scotland? this is all about Scotland
Keri Russell and Alison Janney...doesn't get much better than that. Pity we didn't the 8 episodes.
I though Roy Kinnear stole every scene he was in as the PM.
Looking forward to season 3 now sadly we probably have to wait a year for it to drop.
quick death
I read that Season 3 is currently in production, so hopefully less than a year. What a production, though, the locations were impressive. They got to film inside the actual US Embassy, St. Paul's Cathedral, and the Foreign Office in Westminster.
I really enjoyed it, and Season 3 should be fun:
Now that Grace Penn is President, and she knows that the Wylers know she was behind the bombings, their lives are in clear and present danger. Kate is not going to be Veep, and Billie Appiah (Rayburn's Chief of Staff) is probably to be replaced by Penn's man.
One of my favourite moment is having Penn (Janney) chew out Wyler about her appearance, the bit in the trailer about the paperclip ..!
Finished it last night.
It's a bit preposterous but the acting and script are top notch (West Wing lite maybe?)
Renewed for 4th

Teaser for 3 arriving in the Autumn.
As if the West Wing comparisons weren't already obvious, now we have Alison Janney AND Bradley Whitford.
Fantastic, one of the best shows on lately. Glad it hasn't been axed like Kaos.
Looks fantastic. Time to start this from the beginning.
just finished series 2 it’s very enjoyable, I didn’t expect Hal to kill the president
You could have been a bit more...
... DIPLOMATIC there!
In the White House watching her all the time - October 16th.
Full trailer.
