As the nation approaches Election Day, it might be a challenge to focus on politics during the weekend. However, Netflix is encouraging viewers to engage with its acclaimed series, “The Diplomat,” which follows the U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom.
The recently released second season, comprising six episodes, continues the narrative from the thrilling season one finale that left several characters in precarious situations. The appeal of the show is significantly bolstered by its lead actors. Keri Russell, who garnered an Emmy nomination for her role in the first season, returns alongside Allison Janney, an Emmy and Oscar recipient, known for her iconic role as C.J. Cregg in the much-lauded series “The West Wing.” In “The Diplomat,” Janney portrays the manipulative vice president, bringing her wealth of experience to the table. With such a powerful duo, “The Diplomat” emerges as a must-watch contender for awards this weekend.
