Allegories and truth
thedudebryant6 April 2019
They've been hitting climate change hard this season, and in doing so, showing how it affects foreign policy and defense. This episode also touched on authoritarian movements in Eastern Europe and sympathizers in the Republican Party.

I'm disappointed!
oosh_la9 April 2019
I love this series. I have watched every episode. And I loved every episode. Tea Leoni is fantastic and so is all the crew. But being Polish myself, I found it hard to watch episode 5/18. It made me doubt that the whole series is as smart as I believed... I always thought that everything in the show was very well researched, that there are consultants who know the International political scene, that they understand its complexities. And here they are, my favourite actors, screenwriters and directors talking about Poland without having a clue. The president in Poland has zero power when it comes to issue discussed in the episode. Why do you assume that other countries are politically constructed like the United States? The person with the power you are talking about in Poland is the prime minister. Also, basic fact, Poland is in Central Europe, not Eastern Europe. There are many more discrepancies like that... I'll try to forget the way you present us as a third world country, where people are murdered in the streets when someone in the government doesn't agree with them, with nationalism out of control. These things make for good cinema and I'm guessing someone has to be the enemy and need correcting. Let it be Poland. God knows our country is not perfect. But I at least expected factual accuracy. So yes, I am disappointed...

Too much climate change
josiahborchers18 July 2019
I've always enjoyed the show because it's clean entertainment. Tea Leoni is one of the best actresses around. But this whole season 5 Has Been Way too much climate change & immigration issues, and only from one viewpoint.

All for one
samireunanen-5881516 January 2024
Again thise serie puts all major concerns on hold cause theres one person to be saved. How many times this silly and unbelievable action have taken place.

Secretary thinks that her friends weigh much more than sovereignity of a country and USA can do what it wants and if they dont agree, they hit em with sanctions. She really put one person ahead of global climate deals and she very well new how other countries would react.

You really cant force EU countries to do US biddings and making Poland a bad boy here is just breally bad writing and they didnt bother to do any actual checking on how things work.

4 seasons were good but now this has turned into a political satire.

Warning: Spoilers
Your episode on the climate change, shows you have taken the deep plunge into the deep pile of you know what. You guys have been providing, what I feel, has been pretty non-biased episodes up until this season. Not everyone wants to have "Climate Change" crammed down our throats. We get enough of this from the news outlets. If you are on track to change the thoughts of me, or millions of other viewers on the subject, do me a favor, get back to providing views of both sides of the subject. We are not stupid. I know CBS just loves to show left-ward leaning views on subjects but give us a break. Get back to plots that are a little less abrasive. As I said for more than the four seasons you've been on the air, you have done pretty good.

Soros Open Society TV show
hurstpj2 April 2019
Yes, that's how bad it's gotten. Is Soros writing your scripts now? "Liberal Global Order" This show has devolved into something laughable. Too bad, it used to be quite good. I predict that this is the final season.

Time for New Writers
buddybradley-226654 April 2019
They've lost it on Climate Change. They've taken the lack of science knowledge entirely the other way. Straighten out and go back to being real. "Climate Change Migrants"? Oh and by the way; kidnapping citizens from any country is not right even if you think it's okay on very thin evidence. Often considered an act of war. Remember Helen of Troy. Please take this show back to the real world instead of silly cartoon world.

Where in the world did the term climate migration come from? Oh, by the way, Sarah Rimeraz needs to get a less obnoxious hairdo.

Ready....For Nothing.
dncorp1 April 2019
Accuracy 0, Comedy 2 (laughing at ignorant people praising stupid).

"Climate Change Migrants", speak American English. Migrants "Migrate", like the Legal Migrant Workers from Mexico with U.S. Work Visas, Medical Screening harvest the U.S. Fruits and Vegetables then MIGRATE back to Mexico.

Current "Climate Change" happened before according to REAL Earth Scientists as Geologists, Archeologists, Astro Physicists, etc. as Caused by Polar Axis Shifts, the North Pole shifted and became the South Pole, this is easily measured by Magnetic Deviation from True North, at one time was Zero Degrees, currently is 22 Degrees, 1 Degree is Thousands to Hundreds of Thousands of Miles.

Ready to run for U.S. President? NOPE

Fact #1 Republican Government

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against Domestic Violence." - U.S. Constitution, to make Democracy ILLEGAL.

Fact #2 Electoral College Process

The 12th Amendment created the Republican Electoral College Process to determine the U.S. President and U.S. Vice President, No Longer would the Democrats "Popular Votes" determine the U.S. President and U.S. Vice President.

Fact #3. "The Fate of the Republic Rests On Your Shoulders" - Democrat President Obama.

Democrat President Obama's November 1 Speech was posted on Social Media, Blogs, Forums, with comment "He Should Know, Republic not Democracy, He (Obama) was Constitutional Law Professor Harvard". November 8 Voters that routinely Voted Democrat Voted Republican, Registered Democratic Party Electoral College Process Voters Voted Republican made Republican Presidential Candidate Trump U.S. President 304 Trump, 227 Clinton, Trump reached the 270 Votes to Win within hours.

Fact #4 Russian Hacking, Russian Interference

Laughing even more at ignorant Democrats, Ignorant Democrat Voters, the Electoral College Process is all pens and paper, No Computers involved. Democrats wasted lots of U.S Citizens Money demanding Recounts of Democrat Popular Votes that do NOT determine the U.S. President and U.S. Vice President. Democrats Demanded Expensive Investigations paid for by U.S. Citizens Money, for Corrupt Democrats Personal Political and Financial Gains.

Fact #5. This TV Series

Is Extremist Democrat McCord going to lose after President Dalton gives a speech like Obama did November 1? That Caused Extremist Democrat Clinton, LIES "Constitutional Democracy" (No Such Thing), "Our Democracy", "Democracy", "Democratic Values" (Non Existent) to lose.

Bloated with sozialist propaganda
imdb-4665527 November 2020
With a healthy mind you can't listen to all the propaganda about "deadly climate change killing the mankind" and the "poor cimate refugees". And the bad "right" trying are killing people on the street to prohibit a speech.

Another laughable episode filled with exaggerations and disinformation. PATHETIC
johnjohn-008 November 2020
This show was great until Season 5. I don't know who they fired or hired, but Season 5 has had some of the most propaganda/narrative-pushing episodes that I've ever seen in a TV show. Like I've noticed (and reviewed on) with previous Season 5 episodes, this one is no different. Creating and pushing a false and one-sided narrative set on demonizing anything right-leaning and praising the left. So many discrepancies, falsehoods and unrealistic exaggerations. It's quite pathetic. If I hadn't already been watching this show for 4 previous seasons, I wouldn't continuing watching this. It was great before, and now it's a show with lazy writing and disinformation.
