Designated Survivor

Hang on to your hat, folks! Every episode of this show on Netflix is high drama and action-packed.  It is really, really hard to turn it off after watching just one episode.  We have thoroughly enjoyed watching this series.
 Whoa!!!!!!  Stop the presses!!!!  I wrote the above while we were watching seasons 1 and 2, several months ago.  As soon as we started watching season 3 we saw a HUGE change.  The characters swore more using the vilest of swear words.  Even the hero- the president of the US suddenly had a filthy mouth. More elicit scenes were included and topics and themes were disgusting.  What happened???  We decided we couldn't watch anymore.  It was a sad decision as we really enjoyed seasons 1 and 2.  It really makes me wonder what happened?  New writers?  New director?  Sad, very sad.

Update 8/2019:  I read in an article online that seasons 1 and 2 were produced by ABC network.  Then ABC cancelled the show.  Netflix took the show and produced Season 3.  So there's the difference.  Netflix has no standards, evidently.  What a horrible difference.  I guess the lesson is beware of shows produced by Netflix.  I guess Netflix has cancelled it now as well, so there will be no Season 4.  Not that it matters to us.
The Label on this post is "Movies and Shows We Liked." Though we liked Seasons 1 and 2, we most definitely do not now recommend this show.  We suggest you do NOT watch it.
