What the hell am I waiting for?

Came here for Bao Xiaoqiang, but watched ten episodes with a bewildered face.
I actually watched it. Impatient from episode 8, jumping to watch, dragging the progress bar.
What the hell am I waiting for?

Personally, I feel that this is a play that the screenwriter has ambition but lacks strength.
Politics, suspense, crime, and family ethics are all involved, but they are all very limited, and they are not very compatible with each other.
If you are willing to work hard in any direction to be more prominent, it will look a lot better.
Not to mention the BUG, ​​the screenwriter ignored the audience's IQ, and there is a hunch that the hole is too big and will not be filled in the later stage.
And, most importantly: not cool at all!
Bao Xiaoqiang was so angry that he didn't even give the protagonist a chance to counterattack. Anyway, something made the protagonist a little windy, and it would be good to dig a hole for him after a small climax. However, there are wolves in front and tigers in the back. Where are the designated survivors? Obviously the designated cannon fodder.

When I become a president, when I come to power, I will be flattened, I will eat all the time, and I have eaten for 10 episodes, and my wife is still a white left (recently annoying white left, please forgive me for my personal likes and dislikes), sooner or later, I have to carry the moral banner to my husband's power struggle Bad way.
When my son is a teenager, it is reasonable to be rebellious, but please don't always be rebellious and be so cliché, okay? Taking a medicine and being a drug dealer are all used to vulgarity.
Moreover, with such a loyal and virtuous father and Bai Zuo’s mother, why would a son in such a family environment have to take the path of a rebellious child who lacks care in a single-parent family?
Look at the son of the Prime Minister of New Zealand in reality, how many people are there? Being an internet celebrity, if you make a little mistake and get caught, you can still apologize and smirk heartlessly.

As for the political struggle, the American emperor in the play has really become a paper tiger. There are only three little whites around the president. The only chief of staff who seems to be more experienced is still unknown to the enemy and me, and also has an affair with another female little white.
Black bodyguards can part-time IT experts...what is this?
So, the only thing I see the most about the president is the thin, handsome young secretary. Each shot lasts no more than two seconds, I'm very respectful, and my hair is neatly combed, but I even forgot what people's names are.
Let's not compare it with any poker house. It can't be compared to the conspiracy and conspiracy in the show, which is more intensive than Sherlock in "Vice President".

So, what am I waiting for?
I'm waiting for Bao Xiaoqiang to raise his eyebrows and fight bravely against the big boss behind the scenes?
But in the play, Bao Xiaoqiang has already become the president. The FBI currently has a Li Meiqi and an IT man doing business to support the scene. However, Li Meiqi's character design is still struggling. Can she hold it?
So there is a contradiction.
According to the current plot, the mastermind behind the scenes has become too powerful to speak (they have subverted the American regime), but the president's side, apart from Xiaobai, is the white left and hard-pressed agents. So, what does the president do to win? Or luck?
By strength? Then what kind of weak chicken will the opponent be eliminated by the bitter white and white team composed of Xiaobai + Bai Zuo + Kui?

So, I'm waiting for the screenwriter to reverse.
Use the second half of the season to hit me in the face, don't let me stand up for Bao Xiaoqiang, let us fall in love with this drama sincerely, and be convinced of our love.
Also: For the sake of Xiaoqiang, even if this drama is bullshit, I have to finish the first season.
And again: Kiefer Sutherland's acting skills are great, and the adjustment of many micro-expressions and the use of body language in the play have completely jumped out of Bao Xiaoqiang's shadow. I especially love the way he folds his legs and hands on his left side when negotiating with people. Although according to the standard of the old beauty, it is not alpha at all, but this pose has a good culture, full of patience and tenacity, and it fits very well with the setting of the characters in the play.

Nagging a PS: Alpha sitting means the legs are spread apart, the bigger the fork, the more powerful and confident. Americans have also compared Obama and Putin to see who has a bigger split and who is more alpha = =, how entertaining!
