Is this good slop? Saw some of it while at the dentist. I know it’s libshit but I just want something enjoyable to watch while munching (hexbear.net)

I watched the series after Trump inauguration in 2017. And I watched it again after Biden's in 2021. I made a mistake in 2021. I should have only watched season 1. I forgot how poor the other seasons are.

Season 1. It's enjoyable slop. The lib stuff made me laugh. President Kirkman is talking to NATO leaders and trying to reassure them. The Polish PM says "What can you offer by way of a guarantee?..." Kirkman says "The closest thing I can offer to a guarantee is my word not at Tom Kirkman but as president of the United States."

Season 2. It shitty and unenjoyable slop. It's an amalgam of b-movie stupidity, soap opera-like plots, and poor West Wing rip offs.

Season 3. It was better than 2 but that doesn't say much.

I really hated Maggie Q's performance. I don't understand her popularity. I think she is a one-speed actor with one facial expression. She's stern and self-righteous natsec person.

Season 2 - spoilers

Just a few.

There's weird story arc - as in soap opera-like weirdness - that involves the evil, bad guy sliming the president's mother-in-law to expose her husband's criminality. At one point even though he's a billionaire and he's a top ten wanted FBI criminal - he, himself, breaks into her house The entire thing arc is "What were they thinking?" stuff.

It has West Wing tropes but they aren't funny-bad. They're just bad-bad. Kirkman's brother says - "You know what it's like having Tom Kirkman as your brother? Eagle Scout. Summa cum laude. Rhodes scholar..."

Kirkman makes a secret trip to Afghanistan not only to meet with the troops. He also does spy stuff.

There's a "Kirkman in therapy" arc that involves his cabinet lead by the vice president meeting to consider removing him from office via the 25th Amendment. It's ridiculous.
