Quite a cliffhanger ...
Will there be a season 2 ... this really sucks the viewer in?
shareWait until you see the cliffhanger at the end of Season 2. :)
shareSaw it ... In a series like this they often use up all their really good ideas in the first season to get renewed. The second season was pretty good, but not as good or believable as the first, like the PM losing it and murdering that lady?
shareYeah, the PM losing it seemed a bit too much. Like the leader of any country has never had to deal with people who've done horrible things before.
I liked both the cliffhangers, but I was surprised that they killed Mr. Green in the Oval Office with a telephone.
Yeah what surprises me is the complete lack of stakes now. They’re aiming for a big ‘How will she get out of this one’, but in reality it’s a ‘get out of what, exactly?’ We’ve seen the Vice President as an extremely competent defender of national interests, cut-throat and willing to do anything to advance US policy. And she replaces a President who wasn’t strong enough to survive news that a subordinate did something wrong.
And the Ambassador herself isn’t a paragon of morality, she isn’t defending some absolute truth or anything for the viewer to latch on to. So the most that can happen is some petty retribution from the new President, which would mean, what? That she and her husband are exiled and never get to practice the profession again, and have to find other jobs?
With the British cooling on her, it seems like the world of foreign affairs doesn’t require her services anymore, and I feel the same watching the story unfold.
