Question: Is it just me, or has Kiefer Sutherland developed chipmunk cheeks?

But seriously, this is a good show, but it continues to drift left: First Gun Control and Climate Change. Then a Public Works Program (heavens to FDR!) and Government Education Programs to create jobs. Being on ABC, this does not surprise me.

That is liberal stupidity. We saw how well that worked under the previous administration. If you want to create jobs, you need to stimulate the economy by cutting spending and lowering taxes and regulations.

Once again Hannah goes to hunt a dangerous opponent ALONE! This is so STUPID, and so NOT what a real FBI agent would do. A real agent would go with a small team. This continued stupidity is beginning to irritate me. I may have to bail.

I'll skip 2 paragraphs of my reply and just say - 100% agreed (except maybe about the chipmunk cheeks). I'll add that besides Speaker Hookstraten all other Republicans with lines in the show seem to be portrayed as assholes, especially this Senator Bowman. And now (spoiler alert!)(SPOILER ALERT!) its looking like the terrorists are not Muslim extremists but actually right wing white supremacists. Now I'm not saying that whites, or conservatives can't be bad, but all this lumped together its getting a bit too liberal for me. Still I'll definitely keep watching at least until the season ends, I'll make my decision to quit the show when S2 starts.

I KNEW they were going to blame a white militia group. That's one of the two reasons I dumped this stupid f***ing libtard crapfest. The other reason is that it was getting really stupid and unrealistic. Oh how I long for the days of 24.

Now I don't give a crap about any of it. Besides, there are lots of way better shows out there like Better Call Saul, Fargo and Brockmire. I also have Netflix Streaming, and there are a lot of really good shows available there.
