While I initially was hooked on this show, I became irritated with the poor acting of Alex Kirkman and the unending thank yous and apologies from this so called president. Tom Kirkman does entirely too much grand-standing and over exerting power that he has zero idea how to use. The creativity of writing is falling short with predictable story lines and plot. I was thrilled when Alex was killed off but maybe the show should go back to shock and awe.
