Will Designated Survivor and Salvation Be on Again
Netflix RUINED Designated Survivor!
Ok, I admit it… Waiting a year after the release of Flavour three to finally sit down and catch up on the prove is pretty pathetic. Turns out, information technology was for good reason. Netflix ruined Designated Survivor – and I'1000 pretty pissed about it.
Some background…
In case you aren't familiar with Designated Survivor… The show originally aired on ABC for the beginning two seasons. It follows Tom Kirkman, HUD Secretary-turned-President via a stroke of luck, surviving a terrorist attack that blows upwardly the capitol during the State of the Union.
ABC canceled the show after the 2d season, primarily due to ratings that started dwindling… In walks Netflix to save the day, reaching an understanding to resurrect the prove and give fans a 3rd season. A flavor that concluded upward being the final – and only Netflix is to blame for their atrocious decision making.
What did they do?
The show has a ton of keen characters – allow by a fantastic cast that kept yous enthralled past their (mostly) endearing qualities. The problem is… Netflix axed A LOT of them… and blamed information technology on budget.
Upkeep? Didn't they know going into this that information technology was going to cost a few bucks? Even the novice television fan knows that the price of a nifty cast goes upwards after two seasons. So, rather than keeping some great people – they tossed em out like they were never part of the show. No emotional death scene, no deplorable goodbyes – just moved right on without them.
And it completely ruined the show.
Who got kicked to the curb?
The listing is then much longer than it ever should take been… In no particular society (because each 1 makes me mad they're gone…) – Permit's get started:
Mike Ritter
LaMonica Garrett plays the bad ass secret service amanuensis, Mike Ritter. He'southward been around since the start – and has been there for Kirkman through every believable scenario. I loved this guy! And season 3 rolls effectually – and he's just gone. HOW DO YOU Get RID OF THE GUY THAT'S KEPT KIRKMAN Safe?
Kendra Daynes
Zoe McLellan tooks the reigns of White House Counsel, Kendra Daynes. When Kirkman grabbed her up as part of his team – I wasn't assault her or her grapheme, but she won me over quickly. Smart, tenacious, and a key component of the team that allowed the White House to be a success… How is she non back??? Makes. No. Sense.
Leo Kirkman
The son of the President, played by Tanner Buchanan – yeah, the child from Cobra Kai. Glad he got another job. Even though he wasn't a huge part of the overall story (and in Flavour ii we detect out he's going abroad to college…) – how is the President'due south son removed from the cast? I admit, his character drove me nuts – just family is just erased from the 3rd flavor?
Chuck Russink
Geeky FBI calculator nerd, played brilliantly past Jake Epstein. He partnered with Hannah Wells (which her, uh, story in S3 is RIDICULOUS) – and without Chuck – pretty much anybody would exist expressionless… and if non dead, the whole administration would at least have failed. He was even the get-go to figure out Damien! How the hell is he non role of season 3???
Trey Kirkman
Played by Breckin Meyer, Trey is Tom'due south brother – and although I didn't quite similar his character's original arc… He grew on me. After the death of Tom's wife – he needed to be in that location… non just for the President, but the kids also… And even though Leo went off to college – Who the heck is gonna be there for Penny? He didn't need a giant role, sure – but come on, Netflix – again, y'all can't but remove family.
Lyor Boone
A masterclass in acting, Paulo Costanzo brings Lyor to life – with a character you probably should be bellyaching with… But you dearest him anyhow. He's the "Political Director" of the team – basically making sure everything is spun in the right fashion. The graphic symbol is quirky and you lot cease upward wanting to slap him at the same time yous want to give him a hug. (Side notation: He doesn't do hugs anyhow.)
This character brought so much to the show – there's non one damn reason in the world he should have been removed from the cast. The show needed him equally much every bit it needed Kiefer Sutherland every bit President Kirkman.
They are the 6 reasons why Netflix ruined Designated Survivor
There yous have it – those 6 characters immune the bear witness to be what information technology was… Without them, information technology was destined for the Hollywood graveyard.
Shame on you, Netflix – shame on you lot.
