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 opening, the president of the United States collapsed in his heart. The separation of powers, not one left, is an event to be circulated in the history of civilization in terms of magnitude. In this context, all walks of life appeared on the scene, the jumping deputy chief of staff, the ambitious first lady, and Capitol Hill were bombed. , Please don't play a political battle scene where you run to run.

The FBI found the bomb. Although in reality the bombings in London, Paris, Brussels and New York were all done by terrorists, in the bombings in Hollywood, terrorists have always been wronged. Coupled with the clichéd setting of the eldest son who is about to cause trouble, I worry about the bad taste revealed in this film.

I just checked that Zhu Diwen was a designated survivor twice in 2009 and 2013. Unexpectedly, the Chinese have had two chances to be president. Regret:)
