Seriously 
at that!
I want so bad to enjoy this show, but the last two episodes had two big reveals and...I couldn't remember who either one of the people were. Made them both completely fall flat.
I'm glad they have minimized the president's family storyline, but the political stuff is boring me. Ironically, I'm finding the current White House's political fights and drama are more interesting than this scripted series.
I'm pretty much just sticking around for the conspiracy. Sigh.

Yup, the advertising made it seem like a major character was a traitor. Then it turns out to be a guy who I can't remember being in any previous episodes. AKA, a nobody.

Yeah thought their car was going to be hacked or such. So the traitor was that older Senator w Bowman at the table during the Supreme Court episode? Not terribly memorable ...

But who is his source? We found out it was... Jay Whitaker! Wait, who? Jay Whitaker, Homeland Security Adviser. Here's a picture to remind you who he is:
Now, I don't blame you for not knowing who Jay Whitaker is because we've only seen him a handful of times. In fact, I had to look it up. According to IMDB, he's been in three episodes before this, but he never made enough of an impression for me to remember him. Now he's the man who is working with Lozano and (likely) Lloyd. It's just too bad that promos treated the mole's identity as a huge revelation for the show, because it wasn't.

If it's just the conspiracy that's caught your attention there's a lot more shows out there than to torture yourself sitting thru this.

You're watching a show about the Presidency and yet you want something other than his family or politics I think you just need to tune out now because I don't see how it can be about anything else.

But I still really like Kiefer Sutherland, so I'll probably stick around a bit longer.
