Netflix’s newest drama “The Diplomat” could be a victim of expectations. I’ll admit that seeing it on the docket had me thinking the streaming giant was about to have an immediate hit in the “Dad TV” department that echoed the massive success of “The Night Agent.” More political intrigue, back-stabbing, action, and crazy twists? Alert dads everywhere! This is not that show. It’s more “The West Wing” than “24,” a program that spends most of its time in conference rooms and political venues. It feels very much like an old-fashioned network drama inspired by that Aaron Sorkin hit to again unpack the intersections of the political and the personal. To that end, it’s an extremely talky show, built on a foundation of discussions and disagreements about foreign policy more than anything else, and a show this dense with dialogue can be a tough sell to people looking for something to casually watch while doing something else on their phone. Luckily, the creators hired an ensemble of performers to make this kind of intellectual discourse genuine. So even as “The Diplomat” circles the same drains of dissent and diplomacy, it remains interesting for anyone intrigued by what makes the political world tick.
More than anything else, if “The Diplomat” finds an audience, it will be because of the undeniable joy of watching the insanely talented Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell argue, flirt, and challenge each other with spectacular chemistry and believable backstories. The stars of “The Americans” and “Dark City” respectively play a powerful couple thrust into world-shaping events after a missile attack on a British carrier in the Persian Gulf. Was it Iran? Russia? Someone else? Russell plays Kate Wyler, the new U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom, and so she’s sent there to make sure the plans of the hawkish U.K. Prime Minister (Rory Kinnear) align with the interests of the United States. She is also on a shortlist for a potential opening in the Vice President’s office, which makes her troublesome husband Hal (Sewell) as much of a liability as an asset. Hal is a political shark, a power player who makes moves off the grid that could get a potential Veep in trouble. Oh, it doesn’t help that the two were planning to separate, which is more difficult in the public eye of international politics.
