The political series “The Diplomat” debuted on Netflix on April 20 and has since gained a large number of devoted fans. The plot tells the story of diplomat Kate Wyler, who tries to reconcile the prestigious role of the British ambassador with a stormy marriage with a political star. To make matters worse, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an international crisis, and the job turns out to be beyond her means. This reflects on her private life and political future.
The latest hit from Netflix appealed to one of the most widely read writers in the world
The showrunner of the production is Deborah Cahn, who in the past was responsible for, among others, for “Presidential Poker” and “Homeland”. Her new series turned out to be a real hit. In the first weekend after the premiere, it recorded over 57 million hours of viewership, which gave it the first place in the Top 10 Netflix series ranking.
This meant that two weeks after the premiere, the streaming giant decided to order the second season of “The Diplomat”. In addition to the viewers, the star of the series is also excited, who enthusiastically spoke about the continuation of the series. “I’m thrilled that they can come back for another round of this crazy series. I can tell you it’s going to be a lot of fun!” Keri Russell confessed.
The series also receives great reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, it scored 88% positive reviews, and the rating on the American website is as high as 8.2 out of 10. People from the world of culture also liked the production. One such person is the writer Stephen King, who decided to write a few positive words about “The Diplomat” on:
»The Diplomat« is simply wonderful. Dialogue so sharp it could cut your skin, as my friend Peter Straub used to say. Bonus: no juvenile drama.
His tweet was viewed 2.7 million times and almost 25,000 people liked the post. The series is constantly in the top 10 of the global Netflix Top 10, and the entry of such a recognized character may contribute to an even greater increase in the viewership of the production. Who knows, maybe “The Diplomat” will manage to win the title of one of the most watched series in the history of this website. Last year, productions such as “Wednesday” and “Dahmer – The Monster: The Story of Jeffrey Dahmer” managed to do it.
