This show is so cheap it doesn't deserve an effort OP. Does anyone even watch this aside from me? Mondays on CBS quote:Salvation is a suspense thriller that centers on a staggering discovery: an enormous asteroid is just six months away from colliding with Earth. Without alerting the public, MIT grad student Liam Cole and tech billionaire Darius Tanz team up to save humanity from this impending apocalypse. This show is all over the place and I'm not sure anyone would believe a Season 1 synopsis. This is one of those shows where they raise the stakes every episode and only get increasingly outrageous. Before you know it the White House Press Secretary is stealing weapons grade uranium while in a love quadrangle with the Secretary of Defense who's Son hacked the entirety of Russia so that his father's girlfriend's boyfriend can try to launch an experimental satellite. Spoilers for Season 1 Also the President forgot about the United States program to weaponize asteroids which resulted in the 2013 meteor over Russia, but when Russia finds out about this they try and prevent anyone from launching anything into outer space, which halts efforts to stop the asteroid. Luckily though the Secretary of Defense pulled off a heist in england to get special meteorite crystals that makes an EMDrive a reality so that they can intercept the asteroid in enough time to try and veer it off course with a gravity tractor. Unfortunately the scientist that helped create the EMDrive was a Russian spy all along and steals it, but it's okay since the White House Press Secretary goes to Moscow to meet with the Russian Ambassador to set up a meeting with the Russian government who double crosses her and assassinates their own ambassador and frames her for the job. Also the President forgot all of this because the Vice President has been poisoning her for months so that he could pull off a bloody coup of the United States and break the asteroid into pieces specifically designed to destroy Russia. Luckily the President fakes her own death so the Secretary of Defense can kidnap the new president from the Oval Office so they can reinstall the old president, but not in time to stop Russia from launching a nuclear strike. Season 2 picks up with nukes still in the air and most of the cast in a fallout shelter with a rocket designed to take 160 humans to Mars before the asteroid hits.

It's been awhile since I hate watched something and This is almost at the level of Under The Dome hatewatching for me. I can't see it getting renewed for a season 3. I think my favorite thing so far this season is that they "Shut off the entire Internet" complete with those little breakable plastic card things that have nuclear codes in them and there were giant progress bars that measure the amount of internet there is.  Also they handled that hacker collective stuff so terribly I'm not even sure if they actually died. They were warned about an incoming attack hours in advance and then you just see a news report about people being dead in the warehouse raid. They hacked the entirety of Russia but then stood around and waited to die? The way they didn't follow up at all on the status of a main character's son or even talk about it ever again was weird. "Oh he committed suicide offscreen, whatever."

The entirety of Russia can be hacked for 1 million dollars. Let's not take advantage of this on a regular basis, or ever bring it up again. I got the impression h4xx0r kid stayed knowing they were coming for him because he told his girlfriend that "some things were worth dying for".
