#TheDiplomat #Netflix #TVReviews #Review
I missed out on the Diplomat when season 1 first arrived on Netflix in April 2023. Why? Well I have very much been a lapsed Netflix subscriber in recent years, mainly because it feels to me that Netflix went from a quality over quantity methodology when it first started creating its own content to its Homer Simpson makeup gun approach today. Netflix still has incredible original content but it feels like it gets lost in the wash with the never-ending conveyor belt of new content it produces. In a way I feel fortunate that I had the chance to watch season 1 back to back with season 2. In short The Diplomat is a sensational show with outstanding performances from every actor that has screen time supported by a superbly written script that deftly handles the drama and light hearted moments with a story that moves at break net speed. Production quality is on par with the above and everything is held together by the ever brilliant Keri Russell carrying on where she left off with her last regular series 'The Americans'. When I learned who the showrunner for The Diplomat was it was no surprise I enjoyed this so much. Debora Cahn wrote and learned her craft on two shows I greatly enjoyed in The West Wing and Homeland (We'll discuss Homeland in another post). She's constructed a great world, with some fantastic dialogue with cast of characters with familiar faces and not so. Couldn't reccommend it enough if you have also a lapsed Netflix subscriber. Get yourself a subscription (cancel it immediately) then work your way through The Diplomat over the next month. 5 out of 5 for me.
