The Diplomat

“The plot is convoluted and, I suspect, dumb, but Keri Russell is a national treasure.”

“So good!! The whole cast is excellent.”

“I was way, way late to the party with The West Wing, like a lot of these classic series. Now I've started The Diplomat (or, I should say, restarted it, since I seem to have watched a couple of episodes in Season 1 a while back). I like this writing's airier, lighter touch and the weirdness of the central relationship. I'm just three episodes in, but I'm eager to see where the writing and acting take me next. Also, I hear that Allison Janney and Bradley Whitford show up in Seasons 3 and 4! Wow! Can't get much better than that!”
