ABC’s “Designated Survivor”, a Netflix Original outside of North America, has been cancelled after 2 seasons meaning this week’s episode on the 16th (due on Netflix on Thursday 17th May) will be the series finale. The first season of the show, starring Kiefer Sutherland, won the Critics’ Choice award for most exciting new series but ratings dropped for the second season.

Iain Craig – Another one bites the dust!
Saw this one mate, im only 10 eps into s2 and im finding it very boring compared to s1, 9-9 however wtf?!!
B99 is getting another season now
Too many episodes. First series was great but i think they were making it up as it went along in the end. Why can’t they make a series, resolve it and move on to something else.
Dave Gibbs
Noooo Amy Warren !
Love this!!
@jamesstirling11 U ok hun?
I’ve lost interest part way through season 2. Writers seem to have lost their way.

Brian O ‘Neill you may stop watching now

@sarahvpearce
Just a very slow 24, got bored after 3/4 season 1
It’s for the best. Great concept but the show itself is ridiculous
@stuael
Managed to watch the first 5 episodes. Not surprised it got canned.
Not surprised. First series was great but this one has limped along.
@livpattison nooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The bad dialogue. Rip.
The formulaic episodes. Rip

So did I
This doesn’t surprise me too much. It’s all been done before. (Although that doesn’t seem to stop crime dramas & reality shows being successful)
Elaine Leman think this is what you watch x
Love the first series, but even although I’ve kept up with the second it just seems to have run out of ideas and lost steam. Shame really 🙁
Of FFS. Really enjoy this show.

Found this really boring. Touch was more promising but also cancelled after 2 seasons. Think Kiefer’s tv career may be over.
Yea, second season was mostly just on for background noise
Susie Mac – gonna have to find a new show to share!!
This doesn’t surprise me, is getting a bit stupid now!
The show is good but might be running short of plot ideas…
Ruth MacGilp Day ruined
nooo 🙁
Why are lots of shows getting slashed?
Jack Curry Hinks Brooklyn 99 has been saved!
Ruth MacGilp I saw that, but I reckon it’s a bit different when it’s Netflix and isn’t on public broadcast

Tennille, Chloe, Jennifer – Survivor Puppy has been cancelled!
No!!
Series was so boring. Ridiculous plot & storylines. The Ford advert in an episode was disgusting.
No way!! They can’t just finish it. Noooo.

No!!!!!!
Jeremy Bouch sometimes a thing is so bad it’s brilliant!!
Agreed, forgetting the actual reason the programme started and just using ever more ridiculous storytelling that can be wrapped up in 40 mins is compelling stuff, our guilty pleasure!
So it won’t have a proper ending then? We are half way through season 2 – is there any point carrying on of storylines aren’t wrapped up?

To be fair season 2 has been crap. Loved season 1 too.

Has been a bit wank this series though hasn’t it?
Anders I agree that the 2nd series wasn’t as good as the first but defo think there was more scope. We were looking at a race for the presidency with old Cornelius and a possible 2nd term. I think they needed to do what West Wing did and have more stories about the staffers. Gutted to see it end especially with how things look for House of Cards
Frances Barton Weir I honesty thought ti was brilliant and heatedly agree having more stories about relevant people and not some random bloke called Ethan West who suddenly become the main part of the story whilst Wells who got a bollocking because of Kirkmans misguided love of Frost which was all so obvious it was painful finished off breaking the season. Yes, 100% there was scope for it to be amazing but sadly they didn’t take advantage of it. Suspect Kirkman will just say “right that’s it guys, lost my wife, had a war, saved a navyboy, sacked a decent FBI agent and distanced myself from my kids, I’m packing it up and giving presidency to my “loyal” vice president who definitely didn’t waste all of our time and make me go to trial over bloody mental disability and make me feel bad about going to get my head sorted,”
I’m a little disappointed. But agree the second season seems to forget where first season was going. But most US presidential shows always do tend to lose their way.

Sad… One of the best shows on netflix, sure season 2 hasn’t been as good, but its still good compared to most others… Sarah
Annie Taylor lucky I only watched one show. Not going to bother now. What else can I watch ?
I liked the first season but it blew its load too quickly after that. Shame as it had potential.
WTF…… bugger….Im going to miss that…… Anita try Limitless ….or Salvation
