Diplomacy never works,” a character complains in the new Netflix series The Diplomat. “Diplomacy doesn’t open doors with a twist of the wrist.”
“Diplomacy is 40 days and nights in a Vienna hotel room, listening to the same empty talking points, getting trashed at the minibar,” the character continues. “It’s getting to ‘no’ over, and over, and over. Diplomacy never works. Until it does.”
