To say the first season had mixed reviews is an understatement, but I enjoyed the experience and I’m looking forward to the second season!
It seems like the biggest gripe most negative reviewers had was there wasn’t enough action in the first season, which based on the trailer seems to have been heard. I always viewed the show as more of a character study on how people react and adapt when put into impossible situations, but I’m happy to see some big battles in the trailer.
The second season begins on August 23 and runs weekly through October 25.
The most practical answer is because he’s watched by the Secret Service 24/7, which isn’t the case with a lot of people.
