Like Keri Russell’s Heroine, ‘The Diplomat’ Season 2 Thrives Under Pressure: TV Review
Season 2 of Netflix hit 'The Diplomat' sees Keri Russell's career stateswoman thrive under pressure.
Everything from her marriage to her political future is placed on the back burner while she tries to ascertain who ordered the bombing and confirm her suspicion that Prime Minister Nicol Trowbridge (Rory Kinnear), a hawkish Tory, organized a false flag attack on a British naval ship to provoke a war with Russia. Once the embassy resumes its daily activities, “The Diplomat” can lean back into the situational comedy of no-nonsense Kate — who once dreamed of an assignment in Kabul — being forced to deal with the social niceties of a ceremonial post, like planning a lavish 4th of July party. Season 2 tantalizes the viewer with an opposing point of view when a traumatized Stuart starts to resent his new boss, leading to some richly layered debates with his recent ex, CIA station chief Eidra (Ali Ahn).
