This show is marked (and marred) by the split between the network seasons 1 and 2 and the Netflix season 3. The first two seasons were high-octane, action-packed and tense political drama, a kind of amalgam of West Wing and 24, during which the Maggie Q character quickly became the center of the action and also the moral focus. The third season was taken over by Netflix, which meant more filthy language (sometimes annoyingly so, because it seemed forced, and I'm quite a potty-mouth myself), and bizarre subplots as if the writers wanted to knock down items from a woke dictionary (we get everything: a gay black couple incl. HIV scare, a trans person, adultery, a woman and a call boy, latinx telenovela stuff, evil big pharma, the whole shebang including plenty allusions to contemporary politics which are likely to be appreciated more by those already on board with the politics of the writers) all this woke education completely buries everything that made the first two seasons great, i.e. The action and Maggie Q, (SMALL SPOILER AHEAD) whose character is dispatched unceremoniously and pointlessly in the process which also doesn't help this show. In short, Netflix took over a great, enjoyable how and then managed to completely run it into the ground in just a few short episodes. Kudos to the woke writers!
