Netflix's TheDiplomat, starring Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell, is held together by its performances even when the story falls apart. Our review:
There is nothing more disappointing than seeing the talents of a charismatic screen performer become increasingly subsumed by a series that only scratches the surface of its potential. In Netflix’s The Diplomat, it is Keri Russell who commands our attention in typically outstanding form. As the veteran diplomat Kate Wyler, Russell is the one holding the entire thing together even as you can see it all starting to come apart.
The issue is that this all becomes nothing more than lip service, as The Diplomat treats much of its story like a game. Any moments where we are supposed to take this narrative seriously, observing the grim realities of how power and violence are often the sole languages that are spoken, become less compelling when the tone turns oddly flippant.
