- TriviaKiefer Sutherland was not originally interested in starring in another television series after his eight season run on 24 (2001) and the limited series 24: Live Another Day (2014). Sutherland changed his mind after reading the script for the pilot, being blown away at how good it was.
- GoofsIt's occasionally said that Tom Kirkman is the first independent president of the United States. George Washington, the first president, was also an independent, and John Tyler, the tenth president, was expelled from his party and effectively served as an independent for most of his term.
- Quotes
[from trailer]
Tom Kirkman: Mike, please, just tell us what you know.
Mike Ritter: Capitol's been attacked. Congress, Cabinet... Eagle is gone. Sir, you are now the President of the United States.
Featured review
New season, New attitude?
Nothing is added by Netflix's inclusion of profanity for this new season. Just because you Can doesn't mean you Should. A famous adage that applies especially when it affects the tenor and tone of a show that "survived" without. It is actually distracting and takes away from the enjoyment of the show!
