Okay, yes, #TheDiplomat is very much a political espionage female power fantasy self-insert piece of media, but have you considered that it’s just ridiculously fun to watch? Not since Sorkin’s #TheWestWing seasons have I been so delighted by the tempo and wit of a political show’s writing.
@paul (It's clearly a joke, spare yourself seasons of agony and if you want some TV, jump on #TheDiplomat if you haven't already. Best 8 hours I've ever spent watching TV. Ev-er.)
Partly due to my sister & partly due to @fkamiah17 recommendation, just watched the first three episodes of #TheDiplomat, and if I was still teaching International Relations, I'd be recommending this to my students... like Eye in the Sky (2015), this peels back the skin of international relations to reveal the networks of advice, contact & argument that lie behind global decision-making... certainly its (VG) drama, but is also an insight to why people matter in global politics - really great TV!
@Eamon1916 I'm loving their choices in styling her here.
We all know how great she can look; but here her boring, messy hair and clothes (even when meeting the PM), grass stains and bare feet, all scream "I don't care!". Frankly, it's a relief. Working women have serious things to do; glamour isn't at the top of the list for most. 👍
"You see this?" (points at a stain) "I wear black. This doesn't show on black," she glowers, at the aide who packed her an awful grey suit. 😁 #theDiplomat
