TV Review: Designated Survivor Season 1 Episode 2 "The First Day" [Emz]

So, episode 2. Blimey this episode takes a turn. The episode is called "The First Day." It originally aired on the 28th September 2016.

Here is the synopsis for this episode:

Amid chaos and confusion, President Kirkman steps into his role as commander in chief and struggles to hold the country together.

Review:

Blimey these episodes are gripping. So following the last episode, President Kirkman learns he was one of 2 Designated survivors are there was one for the opposition by the name of Congresswoman Kimble Hookstraten. Michigan has an uprising against the Muslim community, lead by Governor John Royce. He manages to find a way to get Royce to back down especially after a Muslim teenager aged 17 dies after being beaten by Police.

During this time a visit to the site of the bombing starts well but doesn't end well, with people ending up more interested in what was happening in Michigan, causing a panic and almost stampede. 

The case into who cuased the Bombings seems to have taken a very predictive case towards a well known Torrorist cell, but Maggie Q's character, Hannah Wells has other ideas but doesn't yet have the information to back it up.

There are still people out to remove Kirkman from Presidency but it's not currently going the way they had hoped.

We are left on a cliffhanger with someone shouting they had found a Survivor.

I enjoy watching these episodes, they keep me hooked every time.

Till next time
