The Diplomat (II) (2023– )
10/10
Easily...The Finest Series of the Year!

You're here.

On IMDB.

For one reason only.

You're a fan of great cinema. Very probably an industry professional. Perhaps a writer, actor, media pro, critic or maybe just a lifelong fan of the cinematic arts.

Whatever the reason, you know a great "thing" when you see it because you have a lifetime of watching cinema and TV to compare. And with the endless streaming Roku offerings, you now know more about the "good and the bad" than you ever thought you needed to know.

Enough said. "The Diplomat" is one of those efforts that checks every single box you look for in a streaming series ( apologies for the hackneyed phrase, but it fits).

Pure Intelligent Exciting Political Intrigue and created in a way that carries the viewer along for a mesmerizing and completely entertaining ride. And done with enough smart and honest humor to turn the most jaded critic into a fan.

If you liked or loved "West Wing", you'll see that "The Diplomat" has remembered just how smart the viewer can be and what it takes to entertain them.

No Filler.

No typical side stories.

No boring and meaningless banter.

No solicitous characters inserted for the sole purpose of pushing the socio/political agenda of the month.

Just fantastic, clever and eminently watchable actors at the height of their powers in a delightfully smart, funny and satisfying series I could not recommend "The Diplomat" higher.

Keri Russell has knocked it out of the park here and, after binging the first season three times in a row, I can't wait for Season Two!
