[ESP-ENG] 📽 Mi opinión sobre: El Superviviente Designado 🎞 // 📽 My opinion about: The Designated Survivor 🎞

Every day I find myself in a constant search for series and movies that might be interesting to spend my free time. I must confess that I love action movies, but I am not a fan of those Colombian and Mexican movies of drug cartels and preppies, that is why I lean more towards the American categories of robberies, scams, conspiracies and terrorist attacks.

Something that I do not like very much about Netflix is the excesses of pornography and the mandatory incorporation of the LGBT community, not that I have something against them, but I feel that one thing to respect them and another the hypersexuality of it, people with disabilities should also be respected and accepted by society and not for this reason we see excesses of movies of people with special abilities in the film industry.

That is why today I come to introduce you to a series that I just enjoyed, it is Designated Survivor. Let's start by knowing what a designated survivor is, it is a person in the presidential line of succession who is usually a member of the cabinet and is willing to remain physically distant when the president and other leaders are all gathered in one place. The idea of electing a designated survivor has its origins in the times of the cold war, when there was fear of a nuclear war, it should be noted, that only cabinet members, that is to say who meets all the requirements to be President of the United States of America.

Now, The Designated Survivor is an American drama series about politics, premiered in the year 2016 with three seasons so far. The series is about the night when the president was together with his entire cabinet at the capitol giving the State of the Union Address, when they were surprised by an explosion that took the lives of the president and the entire cabinet, except for the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Tom Kirkman, who would turn out to be the designated survivor. Immediately after the explosion, Secretary Kirkman was sought out to notify him of what had happened and to administer the oath. Kirkman, dismayed and overwhelmed by all that had happened, swore an oath to become president, never imagining that the worst was about to begin.

The first thing he had to do was to find the culprits of the terrible explosion, but he did not count on the fact that he would have a lot of opposition, problems with governors, senators and even with employees of the White House. For a moment it was thought that it was a terrorist attack, until a long road of investigations led to clarify the facts and determine that it was a conspiracy, that is, that the attack was caused by people inside the government and that everything was planned, including the appointment of Kirkman who was then to be eliminated.

The series unfolds showing all these events, as well as the problems of being the president of the United States, father of two children and husband. But an unexpected twist occurs in season three, I had not understood what was going on until I researched and realized that the first two seasons were developed by ABC, while the last season was only ten episodes but went from a plot of action, politics and drama to all that plus sex. This was something that made no sense to me because it was a total departure from the plot of the series, but nevertheless, I still enjoyed it very much.

As I already mentioned, this is a series where there is action and I personally recommend it if your tastes are focused towards that category, it is really ideal to marathon on Sundays, or to enjoy after a hard day's work.
