designated survivor (season 1)
the editors of "tv guide" placed "designated survivor" first among the top ten picks for the most anticipated new shows of the 2016–17 season. in writer alexander zalben's overall review, he pointed out the keys to one of the strongest pilots he had seen so far: ""designated survivor" is the rare show that delivers on the hype, and surpasses it," and later stating "it's shocking that a show can balance all of these elements, but credit a magnetic cast that hits the ground running, a crack script that makes the first hour feel like 10 minutes and, of course, sutherland as the anchor that keeps it all grounded." zalben's review concluded with this recommendation: "there's a reason "designated survivor" wasn't just the top pick across all of our editors' lists, but also on the list compiled from tvguide.com viewers' watchlist adds: this is a show that delivers on its premise, feels timely, and most importantly, is a ton of fun."
