From this past weeks a standout has been ‘The Diplomat’ political thriller, drama, and all around sparky show. Drawing from real world international relations, it’s a genuine nail-biter over the tough choices diplomats must face amid a high pressure world.
Premise and Plot The Diplomat
The show stars Keri Russell as Kate Wyler, a professional diplomat who is caught off guard and appointed as the new U.S. Ambassador to the UK. Kate carries the dual load of diplomacy and domesticity, trying to balance the role in public with the war in her soul. This strand delves into the underlying aspects of international politics, where diplomacy comes to life through delicate negotiation and behind the scenes maneuvering.
Character Development The Diplomat
Keri Russell is obviously a major highlight here as Kate Wyler. She definitely fits the bill for playing both the strength and the vulnerability of a woman asserting herself in a mans world. As most of the cast disappear into supporting roles — and as several actors that you recognize pop up in significant roles — this section of the story becomes very much about the difficulties of sensitivity diplomacy and dependence sacrifice.
Themes and Reception
Loyalty and the moral ambiguities of political decision-making play out in Netflix’s ‘The Diplomat’ as well as the similar BBC drama, ‘Bodyguard.’ At its heart, the show delves into the question of whether diplomats can reconcile personal relationships and professional commitments, and whether they have to sacrifice throughout their careers to take advantage of the best diplomatic opportunities.
The show has received much critical acclaim for the smart writing, complex narratives, and newly reimagined social issues. The political horserace with a side of dirt has become irresistible.
Conclusion
An exceptionally compelling political drama, The Diplomat may have just about leapt to its own it..
