Abstract

The short answer is: The show gets a lot of small details right, and it gets a lot of big details wrong, but some of that can be forgiven because, in the words of one current senior foreign service officer, "if it was truly realistic about life as a diplomat, this show could be boring as hell." The Diplomat follows Kate Wyler, played by Keri Russell, a hard-nosed, no-nonsense career foreign service officer abruptly tapped to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom in the wake of a major international crisis. For starters, the show has career diplomats such as the DCM intimately involved in presidential politics, scheming with the president's chief of staff to vet Wyler for the vice presidency.
