First-class plot, but unfortunately a bit like a farce

Many people are full of praise for the 24-hour counter-terrorism.
In fact, I also recommend it.

There are many reasons to recommend it, super tight plot, intertwined complex emotions, Jack's wit, terrifying schemes and spies.


But what I sigh more is the struggle of everyone in the whole process under the distrust and mutual suspicion.

This may be the usual style of American dramas, or it may be that I watch too few American dramas.
First, the people inside are too pretentious. All felt that their decision was correct and justified, but did not say why.
"Listen to me!"
"Why should I listen to you!!"
"I told you to listen to me!!!" It's
a bit ridiculous. Come on once or twice and say people go crazy under stressful situations, but don't come here several times per episode.
Reasonably travel the world. It doesn't make much sense, but if you can't say a word, it doesn't make sense.

Second, suspicion. Mainly the President's family. Mistrust, mistrust for various purposes.

In fact, as long as the people in the show can be honest, the show only needs 12 episodes.

Of course, it's still a good TV show, and it's quite gripping. It is in line with all the characteristics of a good TV series, but it is probably not suitable for people like me to watch. I am a little disgusted when I am excited.

    One episode and one hour extra points show creativity, the plot is aggressive and terrifying, especially the last few episodes are very exciting, hostage crisis, family conflicts, political games and anti-terrorism. Each sub-plot is full of variables

    Behrooz Araz: I killed him. You can't let Father know.

    Dina Araz: Why not?
