Variety

It’s annoying how good 'Designated Survivor' is. Annoying, because the topic is so ridiculously cheesy, and the emotions so deliberately over-the-top.

Kiefer Sutherland at his square-jawed best, the series opens with Sutherland’s Tom Kirkman, in the proverbial undisclosed location

EW

The show is flawed, cynical fiction, but it’s setting up a timely tale about a democracy in chaos and an embattled leader trying to rebuild the government and people’s trust in it.

The Hollywood Reporter

The worry — that ominous feeling — is that Designated Survivor will follow a long network tradition of hooking you with a pilot and then following it with a string of episodes that don’t measure up.

IMDb

The first episode was of a high quality, but after a couple of episodes this show becomes 3 shows.

Rotten Tomatoes

"Designated Survivor has got a dynamite premise, but the premiere episode flounders when it leaves the White House for the ruins of the Capitol..."

IMDb

The show lets itself down with too many loving gazes between the President and his wife, some terribly clunky lines and worst of all, the relentless US Patriot, buzz word laden speeches.
