I'm currently rewatching Designated Survivor. I saw it around when it came out, so it's not new to me. It's a political thriller/drama, and the bulk of it aired in 2017-18. It's very progressive in its politics – so much so that it is a little cringe at times – and it stands in very sharp contrast to the the political reality of the time. It feels completely detached from US political reality in fact, which also undermines it.
Still, it's an interesting show and concept.
