Each day the President is faced with dozens of life and death decisions, and to prioritize the biggest international crises facing the country, one top CIA analyst - Charleston Tucker - assembles the President's Daily Briefing. This list of the most vital security issues facing the nation brings with it moral and political judgment calls for Charleston and her trusted group of brilliant analysts at the agency. Aside from the political minefields she has to walk, Charlie has a close personal relationship with the President because she was once engaged to her son before a tragic terrorist attack took his life. Charlie survived that attack and is now determined to bring the perpetrators to justice. Navigating a complex personal life and a pressure-cooker profession is, of course, a challenge, and Charlie sometimes engages in boundary-pushing behavior to avoid facing her grief. But when the clock strikes 2 a.m., she is all about her job - protecting her nation, serving her president and still trying to get to the bottom of her fiancé's murder that will reveal itself as a shocking mystery.

Elizabeth W A good show, in the vein of, Alias, NCIS, Hyde n Seek, Madam Secretary. Shows the good and bad, the vulnerability of people, the fact that even public servants still can feel. And be misguided. I want just one more episode, something to truly wrap it up. I enjoyed seeing, someone other then the forever Middle aged white, Anglo male in the Oval office. Or in any seat of power for that matter, this may come from my being a royalist fan of our beloved Queen Elizabeth II. I enjoyed seeing Katherine play a very different role, that still showed her empathy. I look forward to seeing her in more things. She is always a draw card, though I didn't know her at all prior to Greys Anatomy. Katherine is a talented actress, and in this show, has some great supporting talents, even down to the actor, whom fell of the wagon, and is trying to get back on it again.
randrich Better than Madam Secretary, and I like Madam Secretary. This just has more action and is sexier. And the twists in the plot don't happen and get resolved in one episode like so many shows that are for those with short attention spans. you have to be patient. If it could be improved at all it should have more testosterone and more action. This show should definitely go forward. In fact if shows like this are just going to be put out and then canceled after a season, they should just make a movie or mini- series pilot first with some resolution and ending to see if people are interested, and quit frustrating people with a canceled season with all kinds of loose ends. Its like publishing books with the last few chapters missing. A waste of your viewers time, and fewer people will even be willing to start watching your new shows when cancellations occur more often than not.
t_kam Reading other reviews, this show has been damned for 1. Heigl is an executive producer therefore has a vested interest in promoting her character 2. She's too young for her high level role 3. She's got a daft name in Charleston 4. Poorly acted and poor plot. Let's look atthese 1. Check out the exec producers for, amongst others, TheBlacklist, CSI (all iterations) and Bones (now there's a show long pastit's best used by date that's now smelling). 2. Heigl is in her mid 30's but I didn't hear any similar criticisms of the character of Jack Ryan in the same role. Also, a bit older but is 44 too young to actually be the President (JFK). 3. And did others say Indiana Jones had a silly name. I've heard a lot of silly names but this is no worse than many 4. Subjective but it's not bad. Not great but not bad.So, to summarise, it hasn't set the TV world alight and I can't see it winning awards but I'm happy enough to while a way an hour watching it as reflected in my score. As an aside, I knew about POTUS and also FLOTUS but as the spouse of the President is a man, what DO you call him? FHOTUS doesn't trip off the tongue so easily.
Philip Bowlen This show has some of the worst writing I have seen in awhile. I mean Im assuming no one watched the pilot at the network and just thought hey we can headline kathrine hiegl.. because it is total and complete garbage.We are to believe. she is an all powerful CIA analyst who happens to to be the presidents son's girlfriend or fiancé or whatever.. and she does just about EVERYTHING in the CIA.. she briefs the president on the daily book, deals with the special ops teams on the ground herself, handles every single catastrophe that comes up herself.. makes decisions on whether to rescue a guy who for some reason looks exactly likes her ex boyfriend (they may have resolved this since.. I couldn't bare it anymore to watch that far) or to target a top terrorist... herself. she catches a spy who sneaks a cellphone in his hat to the CIA..yes his hat.. and she has her friend intercept him in some ruse... herself...all of this funny not by design material in the FIRST EPISODE. gee i want to be a CIA analyst..Its like someone had a film class and said just throw me idea's no matter how stupid.. and then threw them all into the pilot... where did they find these writers.Then lets take kathering hiegl.. at one time she was attractive.. that was many years ago apparently. now she is not so hot. yes, it is petty but her double chin is very distracting.. she has like one facial expression. and don't throw me in with people who care about her personal life.. because I couldn't care less what she does. but good acting in this show isn't something she does.Its all irrelevant anyway.. the show has fallen to an 0.8 in the 18- 49 demo so.. we will not be seeing a season two of this atrocity .. I actually feel my intelligence being insulted just tuning in. Im not sure if the other reviewers on here leaving the 10/10 reviews watched the same show as me or mistakenly tuned into something else and thought it was this show. writing can't get much worse. its even worse then flashforward was in that regard... bye bye state of affairs.
