Ret Silo

In the beginning, the series' actions, plots, and suspense made me remember 24 which Kiefer Sutherland himself was the lead as the Superman Jack Bauer who does everything and knows everything. But then as the movie proceeds, the threats, the suspense, and thrill sort of fade into the background. I don't want to mention Agent Hannah "Mary Sue" Wells who supposedly knows everything, can fight everyone and just kill anyone she wants. Then there are the family issues where the president's son is a drug dealer then disappeared into the dark while the little girl gets all the screen time. Then the self-pitying trans-gender sister-in-law, the FBI, the CIA, Infidelity and so many plots all mixed up. The TV Series tries to be everything at the same time and that made itself irrelevant due to its half-baked storyline about some generic dude who suddenly found himself in the Oval Office as the President and his inexperienced team who always share sentences as though they go for rehearsals every morning to sing choruses to their beloved President. Self-righteous Emily Rhodes starts the conversation, Hairdresser Aaron Shore takes over the sentence at the middle and then, Mr. Press secretary concludes the briefing despite only meeting 5 minutes earlier while resuming office in the morning. I got tired of the series after a few episodes in the first series but continued to the end because I just wanted to write this review. The energy and big threat that faced the country suddenly disappeared. I mean for some people to be so powerful and strategic enough to murder the US president and his entire government and get them all blown up in the Capitol building just to be stopped by a single reckless Mary Sue agent and her computer genius crush/colleague -- I could go on about the character of Agent Hannah Wells and probably why she had to be killed. But then some unnecessary deaths were really meaningless and do not add up. If you're trying to make a memorable TV series, write a good story not this.
