Netflix’s new political drama The Diplomat has proved yet another hit for the streaming giant. From showrunner Debora Cahn – writer and producer of The West Wing and Homeland – the series stars Cocaine Bear’s Keri Russell as Kate Wyler, the new US Ambassador to the UK.
The Diplomat follows Kate as she is thrust into her new role and must diffuse international crises and forge strategic alliances in London, all while trying to survive her marriage to fellow career diplomat and political star Hal (Rufus Sewell). The series has been well received by both critics and general audiences and currently boasts an 88 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes.
It’s also Netflix’s most-watched TV show, knocking action-thriller The Night Agent off the top spot. Many fans have already binged the entire series since it dropped on Thursady (April 20) and are calling for a second season following its explosive cliffhanger ending.
