Michael J. Fox has played a lawyer or legal expert on a number of shows and it is easy to see why as he is believable in that role. His character brought some intrigue to the show and even though we knew Kirkman was in no danger, the suspense was still strong.

A good episode, I just don't like the cliffhanger. We know that Hannah will end up saving the day in the season finale and Tom will bring her back into the fold.

Now we know the source of the leak
luislast26 April 2018
Let me first state that I generally like this show, although I preferred the first year, when the "science fiction" aspect of what would happen if most of the entire top government staff (all of the Executive and Legislative branches) were to be suddenly eliminated, in this case, by homegrown terrorists (who, aside from 9/11, have committed most of the acts of terrorism in the U.S.).

However, I have to ask, did they really need to so glaringly point us toward the real source of the leaks and hacks (and I hope that no one else out there still thinks it might be Kim Raver's character, although she would have been the better choice, given her history with Keifer Sutherland in "24")? Couldn't they have been a tad more subtle about the real criminal?

Still, a good episode, with the usual government lackeys behaving like sharks circling a sinking ship full of orphans, Maggie Q's meltdown under extreme stress, and Michael J. Fox's unctuous prosecutor. Would have given it 8 stars if not for that elephant in the room clue they shoved in front of our faces.

An honest man

Well played by all culminating in a positive result for the administration. Was surprised by the termination at the end, but that's what happens when emotions get the best of you. All in all a pretty good season and am hopeful that next season demonstruhow government can better serve the people and overcome the divisions that hold the country back.

Almost Hung Out to Dry
Hitchcoc21 July 2019
Once again, a speech at the end settles things. Part of the problem with TV series is we know that President still has some episodes to go. That said, it was quite intriguing. There are some really slimy guys at work here. The ex-President leaves a trail wherever he goes. He likes the dirty part of politics but isn't willing to take the heat. I hope this is the end of his participation.

splendid performance

But heck, it nearly made me cry to see a youth idol of mine, Michael J Fox in this way. He still got his bright mind and mad skills as actor, but the sickness so obviously affects him. Parkinson and Dementia are so evil, stay strong and stay as good as possible MJF.

Advantages of Conspiracy Minded
Vivkon2 December 2018
Hannah Wells is a conspiracy fanatic, willingly embracing all various conspiracies afloat in the TV universe. Throughout her story, writers develop her character showing the advantages of conspiracy minded people. Sure, conspiracy doesn't reveal the truth, but shows the way. And agent Wells is perfectly capable.

Sorry but can't understand his mumbling. Horrible decision to add this character.
