The series does such a good job of getting so many of the small things right, such as the huge difference between being a career diplomat and appointed diplomat, I was able to enjoy some of the moments created more for entertainment than realism.Īnd more than being an interesting series that plays with some of the real foreign policy issues affecting the world today, the series is a lot of fun. Of course there are some moments that fall more on the Hollywood spectrum of action, begging the audience to suspend disbelief to go along with the action. It’s crazy how quickly Cahn and her team were able to weave in real foreign policy crises - such as Russia’s war in Ukraine, tensions with Iran, and the effects of the Afghanistan withdrawal - without making it seemed forced. THE DIPLOMAT is a smart series that expertly brings in current events to make the plot both timely and recognizable.
It’s hard enough to prove yourself as a woman in her field, but to have her husband constantly undermining her is the last straw.
He can’t help but to meddle and Kate has had it. As a former career diplomat/ambassador himself, Hal refuses to back off and let Kate try to handle things herself. And on top of the international crises she has to deal with, Kate also is struggling with personal issues, most of which are caused by her husband Hal (Rufus Sewell). and British colleagues that there may be another culprit. Kate is an Iran expert and doesn’t believe for a second that the Iranians are behind the attack on the British vessel, but it is going to take some work on her end to convince her U.S. partnership with the Brits and work on getting to the bottom of who did this. Because the US ambassador to the UK is traditionally an appointed post that goes to a campaign donor, the hope is that Kate will be able to better reinforce the U.S.
#TV SERIES CPLOT INSTALL#
President is desperate to install an ambassador who is familiar with crises following an attack on a British warship in the Persian Gulf. The series centers around Kate Wyler (Keri Russell), a career diplomat who was on track to be the next ambassador for Afghanistan, but is surprised to find out she has been reassigned to be the next ambassador to the United Kingdom. It’s lucky that you get to binge watch the episodes as fast (or as slowly) as you want my guess is you’re going to get through these quickly. Created by Deborah Cahn, who also wrote and produced THE WEST WING and HOMELAND, the series has all of the makings of being one of those that is going to stay in the conversation for a long time and leave fans begging for more. A political drama, with comedy and thriller elements weaved, THE DIPLOMAT is one of the best foreign policy-focused series since HOMELAND and THE AMERICANS. Netflix is hitting it out of the park this year, releasing two of my favorite series with BEEF and now THE DIPLOMAT.
