Way too many expletives for my taste, particularly the f-bombs. Every other word out of many characters mouth ( particularly chief of staff Diane Farr) is "f---ing" or "f---". I get they are trying to show this small Asian woman attempting to appear to be some sort of in-control badass, but seriously?

The asian lady playing Diane Farr is glaringly bad.
Just finished the series last night so I don't know if this comes up later in the thread, but the same actress plays Elsa the sous chef in The Menu

I think Arrington the female SS agent was in San Junipero from Black Mirror, too.

My wife was trying to figure it out and we landed on the activist paraplegic lady from Downsizing. I didn’t find her to be a good actress and that movie was one of the biggest wastes of an interesting idea/plot.

Most definitely. The first half of that movie was brilliant... until it wasn't.

Why is this show so highly rated on Netflix?
quote:I don't know how this works, but even posters who gave it a "thumbs down" finished it. I have lost count of how many my SO and I gave up on.
It's also the #1 popular show on IMDB

it reminded me of Happy Feet and In Time. Fun/good concepts that got ruined by a social message at the end that rang a bit hollow and made the movie a bit sucky. Downsizing being the worst.

Also, the line by him “ I love my country!” was overly cringe.
His whole character was a mess, tbh.

Late to the party. I just finished this and enjoyed it for the most part. I think I have the same feelings as most in this thread - entertaining enough to keep watching, but not great. Not terrible either.
Really only chiming in because of this take:
Man, if that’s what you took away from that scene, the point went way over your head.
The VP’s entire arc was based on the fact that he was a shitty father but realized how much he loved his daughter (and how shitty he had been) when she got kidnapped. He wanted to make sure she was protected and he was constantly reassuring the other conspirators that he could keep her quiet. He was being genuine when he told her that her sister’s death wasn’t her fault.
Then she told him she would tell everyone everything if he didn’t let her out. He knew she wouldn’t be able to get out of the hallway. At that moment he chose his own future over his daughter’s life, and sent her out to die. Basically cementing his position as a piece of shite father and proving he hadn’t really changed at all.
The fact that he was going to let her die was the entire point of that scene and I’m surprised anyone could have missed it. He assumed she had died when the secret service came back into the bunker.
There’s still a plot hole though, in that Arrington could hear her yelling from behind the wall. So surely someone else in the cabin would have heard her too if it hadn’t been evacuated. But his intention was 100% to let her die in the blast.

If you want to laugh at silly point in the writing of this show then try when the VP lets his daughter out of the bunker. She had just told him that I will tell everyone what you did. Then he lets her leave. Just made absolutely zero sense like I'm not going to keep you in here because you are going tell, but I'll let you go early so you can tell. Maybe he didn't think she'd make it out in time, but that doesn't help the story much either if he was just going to let her die

No i get the point, it was just stupid. As you said even for how shitty a father he was and selfish he was to his political position they tried to portray him as caring in different scenes as you mentioned and trying to keep her safe in the bunker. Their execution of him allowing her to leave thinking she probably wouldn't make it out and die was just bad and shitty writing
