The Diplomat dropped on the platform on Thursday (April 20) and is described by Netflix as a “high-stakes, contemporary political drama about the transcendence and torture of long-term relationships, between countries and people”.
It features an ensemble cast led by Keri Russell as Kate Wyler, the new US Ambassador to the UK. According to the official synopsis, Kate was supposed to go to Afghanistan, but now she must diffuse international crises and forge strategic alliances in London, while adjusting to her new place in the spotlight and trying to survive her marriage to high-profile political figure Hal.

Critics have been equally impressed, with The Wall Street Journal praising its “ingenious” plot and “brisk pace” and The New York Times lauding the “Aaron Sorkinesque high-comic, high-velocity style” of its writing.
