A new political thriller hit Netflix on April 20th and the internet has yet to recover. This series is serving drama with a side of some of our favorite actors, some sarcastic commentary, and high-stakes decisions. This is why we’re happy to see the #1 show today is The Diplomat.

Synopsis

Kate Wyler is the new US Ambassador to the United Kingdom. She was supposed to go to Afghanistan. She’s great in a crisis zone. In a historic home…less so. War is brewing on one continent and boiling over on another. Kate will have to diffuse international crises, forge strategic alliances in London, and adjust to her new place in the spotlight — all while trying to survive her marriage to fellow career diplomat and political star Hal Wyler.

The Diplomat was created by Debora Cahn. It stars Keri Russell, Pearl Mackie, Rufus Sewell, David Gyasi, and Rory Kinnear.

Twitter is living for this chaotic show. Many viewers are in love with the cast and celebrating a Netflix original with three actors from the Ghanaian diaspora. However, lots of the excitement is for Keri Russell’s return to TV.

While most of us have been Keri Russell stans since Felicity, her most recent TV credit was the phenomenal FX show The Americans. While she’s constantly working in film (Cocaine Bear) there’s something about seeing her for at least 8 episodes at a time that makes the world a better place. 

If you’re not sold on this cultural touchstone yet, then watch the trailer below.
