I just finished the eight episode series of The Diplomat on Netflix.
I didn't really think I was going to like this but decided to give it a chance and am glad I did. I liked Keri Russel in The Americans and Rufus Sewell as a Nazi in The Man in the High Castle so I dived in.
Keri Russel as the newly appointed US ambassador to the UK was absolutely outstanding in the role and worth the watch in itself. The entire cast was great making the whole thing come together.
Story begins with a British carrier getting attacked with all fingers pointing at Iran and retaliation for the loss of 41 lives at the flashpoint of setting off a broader conflict. Diplomacy and back-room dealings diffuse that situation with new evidence pointing to Russia's involvement raising tension and potential consequences even higher. Then, a new twist stirs things up.
Again, Russel alone makes this worth a look. It ended in a cliffhanger so I really hope there is more. Being Netflix, who knows but if there is another season, I will watch it.
