Well done Elizabeth. You became an U.S. Ambassador. Great achivement for an undercover KGB Directorate S Officer. You are the most dedicated, loyal person ever to serve the organization.
Smartly written and the cast is outstanding! I applaud this series. This is one of the best Netflix has offered in along time. Don't let it be the last! This is truly a must watch.
This show was an amazing ride! Hats off to Deborah Cahn! And the entire cast! It made me laugh more than i expected it to, and it also had its fair share of tense and exciting moments! I love shows like these where every character has a depth to them.
“You really should tip your hat to any show that can bring former US President Donald Trump’s assassination of Soleimani into a romantic comedy plot. Chapeau!” Low level production. “As Iraq and Afghanistan are pushed into the barely evident background, the story opts to explore Kate’s sexual attraction to UK Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi), while her husband is also briefly distracted by the foreign secretary’s available sister, Cecilia Dennison (T’Nia Miller). What drives the show well is the parallel stories between the dysfunctional marriage of the Wylers and the dysfunctional diplomatic dance between the US and UK, and between them and the rest of the world.”
"Keri Russell" + "political thriller" = I'm in. Always excited to see the dramatic range she can pull off, one of my favorite actresses since I saw her as Elizabeth Jennings in "The Americans".
I really enjoyed Homeland, so I’m interested to see what the creators did. Also, Keri Russell was amazing in the Americans. Overall, I am pretty excited.
So impressed with this show! It differs from several crime shows by, of course, it’s storyline but also how it expresses the complex relationship between Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell’s characters; how it shows ordinariness in the lives of high-profile people; and how naturally everything seems to flow.
Ok, an update. I got to episode 6 and knowing that it finished at episode 8 I started watching from the beginning AGAIN, because I did not want it to come to an end it is so good. I have now watched the full season and it is just intelligent, insightful writing, and all the actors just knock it out of the park.
I watched this series all in one night. Just couldn't stop it if I wanted too. I was totally intrigued by the story and cast. I'm a big Keri Russell fan and she is great in this. Actually, the entire cast is stellar!! Watch it, you'll love it. Looking forward to season 2!!!!
AMAZING SHOW!!! Realistic, keeps you on the edge all the way through and it has truly funny moments. Cast knocked it out of the park. We need more seasons!!
She does, Enjoying the show. But she looks terrible, why have they made her look so washed out & sickly with messy & hair that looks dirty in many of scenes.....It's bugging me but enjoying the show😉
I absolutely *hate* Keri Russell’s character. She screams whiny, over privileged white woman!!! 🤮 She commits domestic violence against her husband (props to the writers for promoting domestic violence) and she throws a fit whenever she has to look at a pretty dress, do a photoshoot, attend a gala, or do anything remotely “girly”. And we’re supposed to find her character empowering??? Vomit! 🤮 Female empowerment doesn’t mean a woman has to reject all of her femininity! Her character reeks of misogyny.
This maybe the BEST movie Netflix has produced. I've watched it multiple times since its release. The tongue-in-cheek humer kept the movie going and not knowing what was coming next, the acting interaction, top notch and the ending makes me can't wait for season 2. ❤
Watch this if you can, it’s well worth your time. A very well written script with a stellar cast to give it substance. This show provides some clever political wrangling that will have you laughing. The twist at the end was something I did not see coming, well done Netflix.
Some of the scenes were filmed where i work. It's an eye opener to see how much effort goes into filming a series like this. Looking forward to watching it.
Wow you're actually Dumb & Dumber then disclosing your name & job with today's climate of crime & danger in the workplace. I wouldn't be disclosing personal info.
I like your comment. I worked on a reality TV show and it's amazing how much work goes into a crappy show. It's a bit of a miracle when somebody makes something as good as "The Diplomat."
I feel like this show can easily have a crossover with The Night Agent, I feel like if Netflix keeps realeasing shows of this caliber they'll be alright.
In a world where so many terrible TV shows and movies are being made that are just fodder for the masses, it is fantastic to have someone like Keri Russell and crew of writers and actors and production staff come along and make a series that is outstanding in the writing and acting and is such a treat to watch. The chemistry between Keri and Rufus and actually everyone on the show is so REAL that I hope this show goes on for many more seasons to come. Thank you to all the cast and crew for a wonderful job. Netflix, keep producing quality shows like this.
I want to see Season 2 NOWWWWWW!!!! Can't wait! I've watch it several times and I can't get enough! Also, I need the kiss&bed between Kate and Dennison 😍
Have always really liked both these actors. Rufus Sewell since Dark City and Kery Russell since The Americans. Don’t have high expectations as the trailer didn’t do the show any favors but looking forward to seeing them on screen.
1:12 He's echoing that feeling many of us had against our parents when we were young ("At times you say I'm still only a child but other times you say I'm already too old for something so which is it?") Lol, can relate with this guy. 😅
This looks promising, I was a big fan of The Americans & loved Keri Russell performance, also liked her in Felicity back in the day. Can't wait to watch her now in this The Diplomat.
The biggest issue for me about the show is that I expected the main character would be solving problems and get praised for it, but that never happens. The whole show is dealing with a SINGLE case, and it's one problem after another, and the small solutions she does come up with, are basically ignored you get no satisfaction from it. The characters and dialogue is decent, it definitely kept me engaged, but there's not enough enjoyment.
I started watching it without knowing the actors. While I was watching it I was asking myself "who is this guy who's giving off Ray Liotta vibes?" And he is the Dark City guy!!!!!! Great show! Fast paced! Very funny where it needs to be!
I just finished Episode 3. Smart writing and both Sewell and Russell are at the top of their games! The "incident" in the orchard was hilarious! I've loved Russell even before she was on "The Americans"...
0:45 “I am not crazy! I know he swapped those numbers. I knew it was 1216. One after Magna Carta. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just - I just couldn't prove it. He covered his tracks; he got that intern to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He’s done worse. That explosion! Are you telling me that a mistake like that could happen? No! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He humiliated our nation! And I saved him! And I shouldn’t have. I appointed him to a higher position! What was I thinking? He’ll never change. He’ll never change! Ever since he was appointed, always the same! Couldn’t keep his hands out of the diplomatic pouch! But not our Jimmy! Couldn’t be precious Jimmy! Stealing from us! And HE gets to lead a diplomatic mission? What a sick joke! I should’ve dismissed him when I had the chance!” (President McGill, circa Never)
@@sivaramprasad267 I couldn't stand the cheapness of Night Agent. The budget, the acting, the script, the action, everything was cheap. recruit had Doug Liman as a producer so they had a decent budget.
The first season of The Diplomat was outstanding!! Keri and Rufus are excellent together great performances!..what a cliffhanger...want to see Season 2 as soon as possible!!
Y'all hating on the trailer, but I haven't seen a trailer with a pacing this good in a long time. If the pacing is as good in the real show with keri russell acting, it's going to be pretty amazing
Looks promising. Netflix should start producing shows like this, the night agent and the recruit again instead of reality shows
Reality shows are very cheap compared to TV shows, Netflix will never stop
making them
I agree this looks sooo good
Agreed. Night agent and the recruit were great.
Reality and dating shows 🙄 they are as fake as the scripted ones but at least they can act in these high end dramas
I double agree with you 100%
Well done Elizabeth. You became an U.S. Ambassador. Great achivement for an undercover KGB Directorate S Officer. You are the most dedicated, loyal person ever to serve the organization.

Why would it be the last?
Show goes full blown woke in the 4th episode
You need to watch The Night Agent.... THAT is the best show they have done in YEARS
😂😂😂😂 oh my this cheap shite. Trying to push the trans ideology and to portray normal women as stupid.
Theyve got the US ambassador telling the prime minister that lunch is served 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ahh! An intelligent and compelling series. All of the actors are terrific. More like this please and thank you.
Since Felicity, Keri Russell has been IT. The Americans was one of the best shows ever created, so I’ll give this a shot; only because of her 👌🏾
Same!!
Me too!
Yes so true! Am a fan of Keri Russell since The Magic of Ordinary Days.
Same anything she is in I will watch. The Americans was one of my favorite shows.
shes looking old
"I am the ambassadors wife" 🤣
Keep it coming Netflix. Great content lately. The Night Agent was A+, The Bodyguard A+. Can't wait to watch this.
Night agent lol.
That was CW level garbage.
The Night Agent was pretty average. The bodyguard on the other hand, was more realistic, it was solid.
Night Agent was great these comments are fried.

It's good to see Keri Russell back in action...She was goated in The Americans
I just recently started watching The Americans and she is amazing in it
I love to do food videos while smoking weed on my RUclips channel, to cure people’s boredom 😭
Legit facts!!!
I just started watching that
aight
We need the second season of this series! Do us a favor, Netflix and never and ever cancel this show.
"Keri Russell" + "political thriller" = I'm in. Always excited to see the dramatic range she can pull off, one of my favorite actresses since I saw her as Elizabeth Jennings in "The Americans".
Agreed. She was really good in The Americans. A very special talent. Such a great series.
The director definitely pushed her to her limits in The Americans.
The Americans was legendary, there was like 100 episodes also so you can actually get into the show, this 8 episodes and out shit drives me insane
U😊😅😢0ft0r😮
She's great! A friend told me I look like her. Such a compliment!
I love Keri Russell’s voice. She has a very distinctive tone.
Fantastic show! Smart, very funny, very human, great acting. We need more of this, Netflix!
I really enjoyed Homeland, so I’m interested to see what the creators did. Also, Keri Russell was amazing in the Americans. Overall, I am pretty excited.

Because you don’t know, you get impressed by a low level production. I invite you to read a review by Hamid Dabashi on Middle East Eye.
The Recruit, The Night Agent and now The Diplomat. Is Netflix really trying to go for a 'Government Employees Extended Universe'?
🤣🤣🤣 I laughed so hard
this is shit bad writing, bad acting, shity actors.
Also House of Cards💀
Haha yeah!
Very funny. I'd much rather have a Government Shenanigans Universe than a Marvel one.

Was good till it went woke. 4th episode
@@debbiesroommateonly a little tiny bit. Couldn't be helped in 2022 show!
@@debbiesroommate 4th episode? I lasted 4 minutes into the FIRST episode . Saw the wokeness right away. I’ll never watch that show ever again.
@@debbiesroommate, stop with the woke stuff already.
@@debbiesroommateyou do know that a Tv show isn’t woke just because it has black people in it, right? 🙄
My new favorite show, the writing is excellent. Keri Russell strikes gold again.

Glad to see Keri back in action. She was soo good in The Americans. Watch that if you haven’t watched it yet.
I so enjoy Keri and Rufus. I am so happy to see them together 😊

Just binge watched. What a great show. Praying for Season 2!
Great show! I read that Season 2 won’t be until next year (2024).
we need multiple seasons. please, this was a really good show!
I couldn't stop watching the series the story line is amazing and the cast is super ,looking forward to season 2
Just finished watching season 1. What a masterpiece! 😮
Always very satisfying to see talented Rufus Sewell on our screens.
Yes! Why is he not in more stuff!? I love him!
I just powered through every season of The Americans. I love Keri Russell. This looks goooood!
I feel like this show can easily have a crossover with The Night Agent, I feel like if Netflix keeps realeasing shows of this caliber they'll be alright.
The US Government cinematic universe
Then why not bring back 'In From the Cold' with Margarita Levieva, when she's done with Daredevil and The Acolyte .... maybe?.

The Night Agent was superb!!! More like this please NETFLIX!!!
Aaron Sorkin, Keri Russell & Rufus Sewell... I'm ready to be impressed...
With a cliffhanger of an ending like that? Of course there'll be a Season 2, which typically will take a lot of patience to wait for!
I love Rufus Sewell! This was excellent, why must we wait for season 2!?
The best part of this show is no annoying teenager kid characters.
I want to see Season 2 NOWWWWWW!!!! Can't wait! I've watch it several times and I can't get enough! Also, I need the kiss&bed between Kate and Dennison 😍
This is a gem of a series...well written, brilliant casting....❤
I can't seem to stop watching this show. It's incredibly re-watchable.

Agreed this trailer is awful....doesn't get you excited to watch
Yeah, I don’t get it either. Comedy? Spy thriller? Drama? Procedural? Looked a little messy and cringe. Time will tell.
Rufus Sewell singlehandedly put this series in the top
This drama is really good !!!! So deep and emotional!! Twists and turn omg!!! Plz continue for more seasons!!!
I truly enjoy this show. I was disappointed season 2 was only 6 episodes.

At the edge of my seat the entire season. The last episode was amazing
I like Netflix trailers because there are never any ads before them, never.
Binge watching entire series in 1 sitting. Worth It. Brilliant.
She was incredible in the Americans, surprised I haven’t seen her more
She was on Broadway for a while, also probably took some time to be with her kids.
Ok, I'm addicted. I love the entire cast! No spoilers, that's all!
This looks promising, I was a big fan of The Americans & loved Keri Russell performance, also liked her in Felicity back in the day. Can't wait to watch her now in this The Diplomat.

And I adore Rufus Sewell also.
Their relationship is 👍.
Can't wait for season 2.
Allison Janney ! Great!

Debora Cahn - You are a bloody legend!

Love Keri and LOVE Me Some Rufus Sewell!!
Loooove it 🎉 Want season 2 NOW 👍
Everybody, please watch this BRILLIANCE. The Diplomat is exciting learning that should be part of coursework / curriculum
Homeland is one of my favorite shows of all-time. Hopefully, this is as great as that one.
I'm calling it. Dennison is one of the bad guys.
Whatever Rufus is in is a definite hit.
Yes

I watch ANYTHING Keri Russell is in so ofcourse I can't wait to see this
not really a fan of political shows but keri russell is amazing and the story is well written, hope season 2 comes out soon
SEASON 2, PLEASE.
Binged it all and loved it, she’s great and I loved the little details.
Elizabeth Jennings (The Americans) and John Smith (Man in the High Castle) in one show... this could be very interesting!
A series I finally enjoyed to binge! Keri Russell is my fav!!!!! ❤
The first season of The Diplomat was outstanding!! Keri and Rufus are excellent together great performances!..what a cliffhanger...want to see Season 2 as soon as possible!!
Starring Keri Russell. Say no more, I’ll be watching.
This show seriously ought to be given more seasons. It's brilliant!
I just binged season 1. Brilliant, I can't wait for season 2!
Absolutely loved this series, brilliant!
Looks great! The American Woman in the High Castle.
They really converted Elisabeth. Waiting for the Philip cameo now :P
How can a trailer be this good
Woooo finally it’s coming out! I worked on this show last summer, so looking forward to seeing it all put together
Is that how long we must wait for S2 ?? 😭
They had me at Rufus Sewell
Y'all hating on the trailer, but I haven't seen a trailer with a pacing this good in a long time. If the pacing is as good in the real show with keri russell acting, it's going to be pretty amazing

Can't wait to see him again in season two . ❣❣
AMAZING. Can’t wait for season 2
