Designated Survivor (TV Series) Lazarus (2017) User Reviews

The never ending conspiracy of who blew up the capitol is getting tiring. People thought of being dead are now said to be living.

The part of the episode I liked was that Kirkman wants to nominate the Virginia Madsen character for vice president. This would be her reward for crossing party lines regarding the gun control bill and her perceived loyalty to the president. Of course, Sen. Bowman, who becomes more evil by the episode, digs up dirt on Madsen about accepting gifts abroad, but Kirkman is a man of principle and wants to go ahead with vetting her for the vice presidency. Remember his vetting the last time the vice presidency was up for grabs? We need conciliation and working together if government is to work for the people.

Dirty Politics

As Rob Morrow digs around, he is going to screw everything up. The Vice Presidential choice is torpedoed by a former employee whom she fired. This is all pretty standard stuff as Wells seems to have a death wish, never taking backup with her.

Astoundingly bad product placement

[richardtrestain · 2/10 · 13 July 2020]

Wow. I was so confused by the product placement in this episode I felt compelled to write a review - the producers can not possibly think that was ok. At the end of a scene as some characters drive away from the FBI you expect the scene to cut. But no, with absolutely no explanation Maggie Q picks up her phone and slowly and deliberately remotely starts her FORD car. Then cut to the pristine inside of the FORD car where the dashboard illuminates and FORD appears on the console. Maggie Q then steps just a few feet to get in the car and drive away. Seriously, what the hell was that? I understand that product placement is everywhere and I don't mind it when it's blended in but they should be ashamed of themselves for that clumsy and ridiculous sequence.

Noticed that "subtle" product placement?

[braintumor · 2/10 · 27 April 2017]

I know product placement is part of the game, but that ford product placement where agent wells for no reason and even in a awkward manor remotely started her car and we got extensive shots of the phone and the car starting up. It was almost painful to watch!

Something like that can diminish the quality of the series and leaves a bad taste behind, at least ford got lots of attention...

Come on guys!

Lozano's replacement was so clever that he could hide his identity from 100% of the surveillance cameras but the real Lozano who should be a ghost got caught from the hotel main entrance camera so easily! This is not good!

The Ford Ad is very misplaced!

Love the show, this epiosode though, and the FBI single agent...

[danielkeough · 3/10 · 17 October 2023]

The idea that Wells has the resources of the FBI but isn't willing to use ANYONE from the org is preposterous. She could use her komrade and vet even a couple guys to assist her in going to ND to the 'middle of nowhere'.

It was just very poor writing that an FBI agent, would be staying BY THEMSELF in a hotel after they are done working for the day on a conspiracy to overthrow the US gov't. Wtf?? She's pulling up to a HOTEL alone? They're going into a silo, then going back...alone??

It's just dumb. I know she has to be careful considering there could be Incels in the FBI, but she could vet them. She's not a superhero.

Maggie Q can't act

[nfire-29741 · 5/10 · 26 April 2020]

Episode is ok, but Maggie Q's (Hannah) acting is SO horrible, it distracts from the scenes. Hoping her character dies off soon
