we will start a war with Iran over a terrorist attack that may or may not involve them
Why are you eating at the dentist? Your hygienist hates you.
It’s dogshit. The main premise fizzles out almost instantly and then it’s just 24 west wing
What if Jack Bauer was a NERD? And then he’s PRESIDENT, after MUSLIAMICS do a terrori— actually it was the DEEP STATE!!! … or was it???
That’s the whole plot of the series. You’re welcome.
With the truly immense amount of high quality media available to viewers today, why watch mediocre lib wank?
Too lazy to torrent Condor starring Brendan Fraser. Also my TV doesn’t play MKV files.

You might find some enjoyment in how most of the US executive branch gets merc’d as part of the premise
I watched the series after Trump inauguration in 2017. And I watched it again after Biden’s in 2021. I made a mistake in 2021. I should have only watched season 1. I forgot how poor the other seasons are.
Season 1. It’s enjoyable slop. The lib stuff made me laugh. President Kirkman is talking to NATO leaders and trying to reassure them. The Polish PM says “What can you offer by way of a guarantee?..” Kirkman says “The closest thing I can offer to a guarantee is my word not at Tom Kirkman but as president of the United States.”
Season 2. It shitty and unenjoyable slop. It’s an amalgam of b-movie stupidity, soap opera-like plots, and poor West Wing rip offs.
Season 3. It was better than 2 but that doesn’t say much.
I really hated Maggie Q’s performance. I don’t understand her popularity. I think she is a one-speed actor with one facial expression. She’s stern and self-righteous natsec person.
Season 2 - spoilers
Just a few.
There’s weird story arc - as in soap opera-like weirdness - that involves the evil, bad guy sliming the president’s mother-in-law to expose her husband’s criminality. At one point even though he’s a billionaire and he’s a top ten wanted FBI criminal - he, himself, breaks into her house The entire thing arc is “What were they thinking?” stuff.
It has West Wing tropes but they aren’t funny-bad. They’re just bad-bad. Kirkman’s brother says - “You know what it’s like having Tom Kirkman as your brother? Eagle Scout. Summa cum laude. Rhodes scholar…”
Kirkman makes a secret trip to Afghanistan not only to meet with the troops. He also does spy stuff.
There’s a “Kirkman in therapy” arc that involves his cabinet lead by the vice president meeting to consider removing him from office via the 25th Amendment. It’s ridiculous.
