As someone who actually works at the State Department, I can tell you that the reaction has been almost universal. Mention this series and facial expressions change to looking like someone who just came out of a closed-door meeting with a high-level official suffering from flatulence problems. The only discussions this rot generates are how much the writers and producers got wrong. No, you can't just switch Ambassador assignments without Senate confirmation. No, the Coast Guard does not have 737s on the runway at Heathrow, Gatwick, or wherever. No, Presidents do not salute like they're slapping their foreheads with the back of their hands. No, Ambassadors do not recline on the outside steps of the residence wearing only lingerie. Can we go more than three pages of script without Keri Russell dropping an F-bomb? Apparently not. And could the PR person decide if she's chanelling PeeWee Herman or Orville Redenbacher? This is such a bastardization of the diplomacy that no one should take this seriously and no one should even remotely consider this an accurate portrayal of diplomats. With each passing shot of a car approaching the ambassador's residence, I waited in breathless anticipation for the theme from "Downton Abbey" while the opening and closing credits' music looks heavily borrowed from "Victoria" or "Ekaterina." Skip this drivel before Netflix decides to poison us with another season.

Don't believe the haters

I'm near certain that the people who left negative reviews didn't actually see "Rise of the Antichrist." Instead, they were either fed talking points or are using this platform to spew invective against Christians in general. Basically, the movie posits a way in which the Tribulation can actually start. I stay away from "end times, because technically, we've been in the end times since Christ ascended from the Mount of Olives. Contrary to what one person wants you to believe, there is no racism. In fact, the movie makes a strong case for racial harmony and unity. "Rise of the Antichrist" takes current events and suggests how the ease with which people gave up freedoms and critical thinking could return with much more dire consequences. This is the way it COULD happen, not necessarily WILL happen. This is much better than many Christian movies, and you may even consider looking for it on a streaming platform. Do yourself a favor: see it. You'll have done more than at least half of the "reviewers " here.
