TV Review: Designated Survivor Season 1 Episode 5 "The Mission" [Emz]

Thursday, 2 November 2017


Now this is where it's continues to get interesting.

This episode is mainly about the search & capture for Majid Nassar, who is suspected of the capital bombing.

Here is the synopsis:
Kirkman dispatches a team of Navy SEALs to Algeria after learning that the government helped Majid Nassar, one of the terrorists claiming responsbility for the Capitol bombing, elude custody; Wells learns the truth about MacLeish's movements on the night of the bombing; Alex finds out someone from her past has made a damning allegation.

Review:

This episode was really good. The fact that the majority of the episode is about the Navy SEAL's going to Algeria to capture Majid Nassar. This was the main focus of the episode, but it didn't detract form other issues that arose during the episode.

Hannah Wells FBI (Maggie Q) is continuing to uncover information surrounding the Capitol Bombing and surrounding Congressman McLeish's survival and the major possibility that he had/ has a role to play within the group responsible for the bombing . There still does not appear to be enough evidence to show that someone else was behind the bombing and to be able to share this information with the President.

There is a huge story unfolding that Leo may not be Kirkman's son and may be his wifes ex partner's child instead.

Kirkman has been trying to find a job for MacLeish and originally offers him speaker of the house, which he turns down.. just for Kirkman to think about offering him the Vice Presidency.

I enjoed all the twists this epiosde takes and that fact that it didn't miss out any other drama unfolding. Looking forward to seeing how this will progress in episodes I have yet to watch.

Till next time
