It’s not often you’ll find me pining to watch political dramas. Politics is so absurd these days that I just can’t commit the brainpower to entertain it all – in the real world, at least. But the return of one of Netflix’s top shows? I certainly can grant my fuller attention.
In Netflix’s The Diplomat – which returned for season 3 just last week, on 16 October – the show surfs a different line from reality (albeit a close one), delivering licks of comedy amid the intense performances and pseudo-satirical take on current affairs.
