      S1E1 "Little Trick" and Divine Drama

      Is it the magical drama that this is just a "trick", seemingly clever but irrelevant, or is it a really interesting story with potential?

      The first episodes of American dramas always have some "little tricks", but after a few episodes, the characters are second, the plot is out of control, and it is unavoidable to be hacked in the end. The posture of this drama makes people feel like they are running on this road.

      Explosions always come so suddenly, only one minute after the...

      Popular Science Drama

      I don't understand why the reviews are so bad. In my opinion, a good American political science has been conducted, and it can be played like this~

      I don't think that the protagonist is a holy father, and the protagonist's halo may not always work. To be frustrated and compromised, mistakes will be made. There are dangers around him, and no one really supports him. The first lady yelled at her values, and finally compromised with politics, and she would be even more...

      Sad president, strong life

      This president is really like Lincoln, everyone around him must kill him. But he can always come back to life miraculously. Designated, with the strong color of American dramas, especially White House dramas. Trust and betrayal, honesty and skill, competition and union...

      I have always believed that the reason why White House dramas often have surprises is that things in real life are magnified on TV...

      "Designated Survivor" S1: Self-cultivation and good old man can also rule the country and the world

      Perhaps our focus is wrong .

      All the dignitaries of the Great America have all their forces in a Capitol bombing? Let a non-partisan political veteran with no qualifications and ability to be the president? Subvert and steal modern America with hypothesis and trickery? ...To be honest, "House of Cards" is more real than "Designated Survivor".

      Therefore, when we watch the play, we must be clear: this...

      Pepper and Hemp Hairy Crab

      It's not bad to start with, but it's really not as good as an episode. A cheesy soap opera in political guise. The editing is a bit too flamboyant to make it look like a reality show. Small and medium costs must sharpen the head and make it into a big production. Drawing a tiger is not an...

      The sensational plot of the American Dream is too exaggerated... All kinds of deliberate arrangements, powerful and excessive performances, the political game looks more like a game between idiots, there is no intrigue like House of Cards, it is just a show... Two episodes abandoned. I found that American dramas with Maggie Q are not good-looking, the crew is too cost-effective, and the scenes and special effects are too fake. This director should be a fool who likes to eat...

      A bit low IQ for a Washington political drama. On the whole, it is a political suspense theme that the script team with the theme of mother-in-law has tried hard, and the level of sincerity is...
