Looking for a new political drama to devour after The Night Agent? Netflix’s The Diplomat is reporting for duty. Created by Debora Cahn (Homeland, The West Wing), the series stars the great Keri Russell as Kate Wyler, a newly-appointed U.S. diplomat who’s sent to the UK in wake of a British aircraft carrier explosion that killed dozens of sailors. Alongside her diplomat husband Hal (Rufus Sewell), British foreign secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi), her right-hand man Stuart Hayford (Ato Essandoh), and London’s CIA chief Eidra Park (Ali Ahn), Kate works to strengthen foreign relations, uncover who’s behind the attack, and decide if she wants to throw her hat in the ring for VP. The Diplomat‘s eight episodes are full of captivating performances and unexpectedly sexy scenes. And an explosive finale leaves viewers with burning questions, cliffhangers, and a craving for new episodes ASAP.
