What it's about
The take
It’s amazing how shows fueled only by fast talk can feel as gripping as any thriller out there. The Diplomat is cerebral and heavy on geopolitical jargon, but somehow, it manages to feel genuinely exciting, each new episode impossible to not play next. Thanks is due in large part to Keri Russell who, fresh out of her incredible stint in The Americans, returns here as messy and intense and endearing as ever.
On the one hand, The Diplomat is about the delicacy of diplomacy, about how every decision made at this level has ripples of consequences throughout the globe. But it’s also, amusingly, a marriage story. Russell plays a woman who has long been defined by her more renowned if a bit egotistical husband, played perfectly by Rufus Sewell. They have a complex relationship that is as much of a career partnership as it is a romantic one, and part of the show’s charm is blending this story arc with the main one.
Fans of West Wing, Veep, and Homeland will find much to like in this series, not least of all are the informative takes and worthwhile performances.

The plot is Awesome👍; however, I don’t enjoy watching Keri Russell & Ali Ahn in the characters they portray 👎!! They always look like they just got out of bed or been electrocuted. SERIOUSLY?!? Female politicians, the characters are being shown as, aren’t like this.
Secondly. Although f*ck(ing) is used as part of the British vocabulary more than us; is it really necessary to have their dialogs use f**k(ing) in every other sentence 🤔 My family & friends, I have MANY of, surely don’t. These factors didn’t intrigue me to watch any episodes after number 2.
