The Diplomat (2023) Review: Statecraft at a Sprint

The Diplomat is Debora Cahn's fast, witty Netflix political thriller, with Keri Russell as a reluctant US ambassador to the UK caught between crisis and marriage.

Yes, with reservations. It is smart, fast political drama for adults who enjoy rapid dialogue and statecraft, if you can forgive plots that grow more far-fetched.
