The show is on a southward trend and I strongly recommend that the writers do something about it. This episode regarding border tensions with Mexico over imports was confusing and not exactly portrayed in an exciting manner. When a Mexican man is killed by an American, they certainly could have put more pizazz to this event.

Kirkman's mother-in-law admitted that she steered a bid to a certain company so that her husband's name would be moved up on the transplant list. What's the real excitement about this, especially when the protagonist is already deceased?

Our female FBI Agent is always on the go.

It's Slipping Away

Other political shows like The West Wing and Madame Secretary deal with these real issues with so much more pizzazz. I actually nodded off. It's not that I don't care about trade deals with Mexico and the plight of farmers. It's just delivered in the most mundane way. I may not make it through another episode.

Bad Show, Dumb Me
punkajjaju25 October 2017
The show continues to go downhill. The writing is poor, lacks imagination.

How can you have just one FBI agent investigating a whole lot of stuff? There is not much for the President to do except performing a miracle at the end of each show and solve one crises after another.

Its a bad show. And, I must be pretty dumb to keep watching it. But, that's only because I am a Jack Bauer fan. That legacy continues.

I mean, did they really need to do it?

Yes, did they really, really, really, I mean REALLY need to introduce that irritating character, Maya Dunning? Was it really necessary to add that level of shallowness to a show that has already started to show quite a lot of weaknesses? I hope she disappears soon, but I'm afraid she won't. What a pity.

Episode 204

I appreciate the show going out of its way to tackle real life issues. We had it last week and we had it here with tension between America and Mexico. Unfortunately, whoever is writing the show is not up on current politics. They had a Senator, presumably Republican, go on TV talking about adapting to globalism, but then wanting to protect the US worker. Those are opposite sides of the spectrum in today's climate.

But the show is just boring. There's no reason to care and if you miss one week you don't lose the story at all.

Another propaganda episode for SJW
david-clay-freeman7 July 2019
Another episode to prop up the narrative that all the illegal immigrants pouring out of Mexico's squalor are so innocent in this political game that's been orchestrated by Democrats for votes. Shame on DS for furthering this so called hot button topic. It's not good writing or helpful unless the goal is to muddy the water on the real issue. Illegal immigration in modern society. We are not the EU and we continue to be a Sovereign Nation.

Propaganda
bubba-8114915 July 2019
Too much one-sided propaganda with faulty facts. Only 10 minutes worth of good story.
