Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. Designated Survivor follows Tom Kirkman (Kiefer Sutherland), the US Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, as he is suddenly made President of the United States after a tragic attack wipes out everyone ahead of him in the line of succession.

Thrust into the highest office in the country while wearing a Cornell sweatshirt and jeans, Kirkman is set up as a character who is totally unprepared for the role — but that’s what makes the show intriguing. As the story unfolds, Kirkman must quickly learn the ropes of leadership in a tense environment.

We watch as Kirkman grapples with the shock of his new reality, trying to navigate the chaos while keeping his family safe and trying to uncover the truth about the attack. He faces pressure from military officials and the remnants of the government, all while dealing with his own doubts and fears. The tension and strong emotions are perfectly portrayed by the characters in the show, leaving the audience eager to see what happens next.

WHERE TO WATCH- You can watch Designated Survivor on Netflix or watch the trailer (runtime: 2:38).

What to get: The rich mistika ice cream is expectedly mild both in taste and in sugar, and is perfectly complemented by the sweet pistachio sauce. If you like letting your camera eat first, its fried shell will give you that TikTok-worthy crunch.

Don’t miss out on the peanut butter choco pretzel soft serve. The chocolate/peanut butter soft serve is topped with crispy pretzel crumbs and a drizzle of caramel. It was a great summer alternative for a Snickers bar or a Reese’s cup.

The star of the show was the birthday cake hi-hat cupcake. This creation features a halved cupcake stuffed with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream, and covered in sprinkles and drizzle of jelly sauce.

As of now they do deliver, but to New Cairo residents only through Talabat.
