Trivia
The concrete bowstring bridge shown is the Wiley Bridge in Brampton, Ontario, over the Credit River. The bowstring bridge was a distinctive feature in southern Ontario in the first half of the 20th century, although surviving examples are now rare. The Wiley Bridge dates from 1924. It has been closed to vehicular traffic for some years, however it remains open to non-motorized traffic on this section of Gorewood Drive which is a hiking trail in the Claireville Conservation Area.

Goofs
At about 21:38 in the episode we see an office building. In the next scene we see Abe Leonard working at his desk. The implication is course he is working in this building. While the building pictured is actually press related, it is about 6.700km from Capitol Hill. It is the building of the: "Bundespressekonferenz" (German Federal Press Conference) in Berlin (Germany), as indicated by the yellow public transport, the yellow letter box, license tags, street signs and last but not least the large Sign: "Bundespressekonferenz" on the right side of building.

Quotes
Julia Rombauer: If you think national politics is tough, try academia.

Is this for Real?

After a decent 16th episode, we are back to the usual insipidity.

There is just a team of 4 half-baked people investigating the huge catastrophe that befell on the US.

Sutherland appears jaded, often un-interested as the POTUS.

The only character which appears not to be feeling amused by the going- ons is that of Seth.

What a waste of an original idea.
