The Diplomat (2023)
From IMDB:
In the midst of an international crisis, Kate Wyler, a career diplomat, lands in a high-profile job for which she is not suited, with tectonic implications for her marriage and her political future.
From Netflix you can stream the 8 episodes of Season One. Each episode lasts exactly 50 minutes. (How do they do that?) This series has been so popular that another season has been announced.
Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) is the U.S. ambassador to England. She is accompanied, fortunately or unfortunately, by her political star husband Hal (Rufus Sewell) who meddles in everything. Their marriage is suffering. Some unknown party attacks a British naval vessel and all political hell breaks loose. Season one ends in a cliff-hanger. There is never a dull moment in this somewhat complicated and fast-moving storyline.
There is a huge cast of able characters, one of whom is the familiar Rory Kinnear as Trowbridge.
