Audience Member It has a great cast and excellent production, but a weak, meandering screenplay makes for very disappointing viewing. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Fred N The chaotic and irrational behavior of all the people in this show make it hard to take seriously. I found myself laughing although it's supposed to be a taut political drama. The silly soap opera side stories add nothing. I shudder to think that some people will watch this and think that's how government and international diplomacy works. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Stephen C A little over halfway through season 2 and it suddenly dawned on me that Kerri Russell's character is a lot like Mr Bean but less funny. She continues to sow chaos in everything she gets involved in while not having a clue that she is the one causing a lot of the drama. While she and the VP put down her husband, played by Rufus Sewell, as an example of failing upwards, he and the DCM seem to me the only truly honorable characters. The women in this show all want to get their fingers into situations to ostensibly straighten things out based on the view from their high horses and only make things worse while being portrayed as the adults in the room. Still an entertaining watch. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review SkyRo P I'm going to do a joint review since I watched both the film "Policeman" and the TV series "The Diplomat." While my experience with "Policeman" was less than satisfactory, "The Diplomat," starring Keri Russell, was nothing short of fantastic. I found it to be one of the best portrayals of the political landscape, focusing on a character who is reluctant to be in the spotlight yet finds herself entrenched in it. Keri Russell delivers an outstanding performance in the first season, drawing viewers in and providing a deep understanding of the complexities of politics—how it should ideally function and the messy reality of it all. Her character embarks on a compelling journey, and the storytelling is truly remarkable. Season 2 takes things to another level, offering even more excitement and intensity. The plotlines involving the Prime Minister and various political machinations are expertly crafted and engaging. The cast, including the supporting actors and actresses, is exceptional, adding depth to the series. The subplot with the vice president is particularly noteworthy, elevating the intrigue even further. By the end of Season 2, you'll find yourself eagerly anticipating Season 3. I wholeheartedly recommend checking out this series; it's a must-watch!
