Chronology
In the midst of an international crisis, Kate Wyler, a career diplomat, is thrust into a high-profile job she’s ill-suited for, with tectonic implications for her marriage and her political future. The producers also convinced the American and British governments to allow them to use real-life locations as filming locations for the series, including the still-new American embassy (at Nine Elms), which opened in 2018.
The only location that was unavailable was Winfield House, the real-life residence of the American ambassador
Britain allowed filming in the Foreign Secretary’s office, a rare honor for any film or film production, especially an American one. While it’s accurately described as occupying the largest residential plot (11 acres) in London outside of Buckingham Palace, the producers used a country house outside the city for filming purposes.
Presented at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards (2024)
I have to admit that I wasn’t planning on watching The Diplomat, but after hearing so many great things about it and reading all the great reviews, I thought I’d give it a shot. I’m so glad I did because it was great.
It had me hooked from the first episode
I’m actually surprised at how much I enjoyed it. While Keri Russell was great in The Americans, I thought it was more about the writing than her acting, so I wasn’t entirely sure she and Rufus Sewell could carry the series as the leads, but absolutely, they’re both fantastic here.
I could definitely see this series winning some awards
The chemistry between these two is what makes this show so good.
