Movie Rating Watch
Smart, taut thriller has lost none of its relevance or credibility. Journalists present at an accident in a nuclear plant attempt to uncover exactly what they witnessed; the supervisor at the plant makes his own investigation and uncovers some disturbing facts.

Works very well as a piece of entertainment, first of all, with strong performances, especially from Lemmon. But also very much a product of its time - it's one of many conspiracy-based American thrillers from the half-decade or so after Watergate; also has interesting things to say about gender politics of the period and the artificial nature of the media. A highly engaging, intelligently scripted movie, a class act in every department.

This wasn't a bad book.. not really my thing and some spots seemed a bit odd for me but overall I enjoyed the mystery and murder to it.. I enjoyed seeing how the politics played into the mystery of this story. I am not a bit political person so that might have been part of my not being as into it as I normally would be.. however the murder mystery part of it kept me interested and invested. the writing did have some amazing feelings and emotions.. I felt with duncan on his daughters death... I felt his confusion and fear and pain. I am glad i got to review this one

I absolutely LOVE this show. I watched both seasons over a few days!!

Tom Kirkman is the Designated Survivor which means he is selected to sit out when the whole of the US government meets, so that in the unlikely event of a disaster someone is able to lead the country.

Unfortunately Tom is the least qualified person for the job of The President of the United States, however he has to step up and the series follows his life as he tries his best.

This show has everything: politics, drama, mystery, suspense, conspiracy and is just very gripping!!

Really recommend this series I feel like it probably has something everyone will enjoy.
