Narrative

In the midst of an international crisis, Kate Wyler, a career diplomat, lands a high-profile job she is unprepared for, with tectonic implications for her marriage and political future. The producers convinced the American and British governments to allow them to use real-life settings as filming locations for the series, including the still-new American embassy (in Nine Elms) which opened in 2018. Britain allowed filming inside the foreign secretary’s office, an honor rarely bestowed on any film or cinematic production, especially an American one.

Although accurately described as occupying the largest parcel of residential land (11 acres) in London other than Buckingham Palace, the producers used a country house outside the city for filming purposes. The characters are phenomenally written, and all of them are an enigma to some degree. The dialogue is fast-paced and engaging, and the plot is constantly evolving in chaotic political directions.

It feels similar to Night Agent, but way better

It doesn’t have a strong tone like other similar shows. I want to compare it slightly to House of Cards, but it doesn’t quite fit. It has a hint of Succession, but again it doesn’t quite fit.

She’s good at her job, so no one worries about her decorum

I see reviews complaining about the protagonist and her disheveled appearance and abrasive behavior, but that’s all her thing! “You want people in power who don’t *want* to be in power.” Kate is focused on the mission and the cause at hand, where people’s lives are at stake. What she wears, how she looks, and even when she sleeps all take a backseat to the main mission.

I’m really hoping we’ll see a second season

I thought her style fit the narrative perfectly and it was a refreshing change of pace. The best part of the show is the relationship everyone has with each other. It’s rare that I like every character on a show, but I liked this one.
