I'm really enjoying the series even if I'm late to the party and I think Tom Kirkman would make an impressive president. The one thing that's really annoying me is the change in character to his wife the First Lady Alex. In the first season she was kind , intelligent and a fair and reasonable mind at the presidents side understanding he had a hard job however this season with the addition of the drama with her mother she's turned into an irrational and emotional liability. Massive fall from grace.

An Interesting Effort

This was remindful of MASH which used to interrupt their general plots with a new twist. Here, the President chooses three letters from the thousands he receives and send members of his staff out to investigate the information contained therein. What I liked about these is that the solutions were not at all simple. The beekeeping one was a bit silly, but it was still a departure. I'm also really tired of the President's wife and her whining.

Another decent enough episode of Designated Survivor. A good twist the late soldier not being such an innocent person and seeing the President actually deny a Purple Heart or Medal of Honor was a bit surprising.
This show is still a bit too ridiculous though. When Kirkman's wife's case is essentially a metaphor for Hillary Clinton and her investigations being a fraud, it is hard to watch such bias being displayed on TV.

Other than the bee-keeper and his wife's complaint regarding the FAA killing the bees, which turns into an argument between the couple, the episode was a good one as it focused on citizens sending letters to Kirkman.
The widow who claimed her husband was denied a medal for heroism leading to his death was a heartbreak. Imagine, in awarding him this honor, his commander-in-charge would tell her that her hero husband had an affair with his wife! Kirkman did the only diplomatic thing possible.
The third letter regarding an investigation accused of murder of course led to the man's innocence. Wait until you see who the real culprit was.
Of course, Mrs. Kirkman being possibly indicted is also dealt with.
