Designated Survivor

With a devastating bombing at the U.S. Capitol, a follow-up assassination attempt, and a swarm of conspiracies swirling around last-resort President Tom Kirkman, Designated Survivor may have been the only political show on TV this spring that rivaled the Trump White House for headspinning twists. Season 2 promises calmer drama, as Kiefer Sutherland’s Kirkman settles into his role as America’s emergency commander in chief and his show’s writers start focusing on Kirkland’s inner circle. Wednesday, Sept. 27, at 10 p.m., ABC and intimidation. A shocking murder, and costar Christina Hendricks, may get you hooked. Available for streaming Friday, Sept. 29, Amazon
