Review of The Diplomat

The Diplomat (II) (2023– )
8/10
Good but a little preachy with a butch hygiene challenged Ambassador
28 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Many plot twist and turns which made it interesting but I have to say they made out all the men to be subservient vassals of women.

Basically, this show is what would happen if women were in charge and plain to see, they would not do any better than men.

I like Keri Russell as an actress but her Ambassador character just a little too butch for me. Hillary Clinton jumpsuit acolyte. And the personal hygiene scenes, well, unnecessary unless they were going for that female earthy cachet.

I liked her attache character, Stewart, he played the part very well and his character essential to many of the plot changes.

The drama was beautifully shot, kind of like a rural Britain travelogue even in London. The Louvre scenes were very nice to watch.

Hopefully they did not blow up the Ambassadors husband, her clever lap dog.

Looking forward to Season 2 minus the vassal and lap dog stuff and esp. The hygiene scenes.
