I really don't understand the many very positive reviews on this series. It's not the worst you would probably ever see, but it's hardly better than average and certainly not better that the American series which is built on the same premise: a temporary president after a catastrophic attack.
Acting is below average and the some of the characters are hard to like as a result of regular whining. The scenario has its holes and inconsistensies and just does not have the quality to enable the story to really pull you in. You will hardly get excited probably when moving from one to the next episode. The lack of decent cliffhangers makes you not expecting a next step in the story, but instead leaves you questioning what on earth might be happening next.
The photography is okay, but not special. Worse are special effects, especially in the first episode. They are below what you would expect nowadays.
All in all, not bad, but currently at episode three, the question comes up whether I will sit out all 16 episodes. I'll give it 2 more and decide then whether this is really worth my while.
