After a British naval aircraft carrier is attacked and left crippled in a sea location near the middle east, a clever U.S. intelligence agent [Russell] is appointed as the new United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom. She helps defuse an international crisis between three dark countries, forges strategic alliances and adjusts to her new place in a political atmosphere that is both stressful and intense, something she did not want to handle in her life in the first place. She tries to manage a deteriorating marriage with her husband [Sewell] who has a hard time watching his wife succeed only because of a president that has a political agenda.
THE GOOD - The series provides an inside look at the political landscape after a crippling terrorist attack that brings the powerhouses of the United States and the United Kingdom to try and investigate who instigated the attack. There are some dramatic political stances and some silliness that occurs in-between some important meetings. There's standard pacing and direction that catches the performances of the actors without cameras that constantly shake or pan around the actors.
THE BAD - Through everything that is happening in the plot, somehow the writers added a romantic turn in the series where the leading actor & married wife [Russell] is blessed by her husband [Sewell] to have an affair with a British Foreign Secretary [Gyasi], who just happens to be a black man. I lost count about how many times [Russell] has to say, "my marriage is at an end..." to try and justify her having a possible affair. There are also other mixed couples having affairs in the Embassy where the Diplomat operates. There is no action in this series, there is also no real fear of the consequences of any decisions that are being made that could bring three nuclear powered countries into global nuclear war.
POST MORTEM - Essentially, the writer has created a series where a married couple opens the door towards that of a Cuck Hold relationship; where one member of the marriage agrees [or approves] of another to have an open affair in the presence of another. You can feel in the series that Russell is just aching to have a sex scene with a black man and how the series is setting the whole thing up for a BIG presentation. Other than that, there is nothing awesome about this series and if the romances and affairs were cut out of the show, it might speed things along and could make this series epic. I am sure that Netflix is testing this series format to eventually create future series concerning Cuck Holds and how normal it is to have Caucasians share sex with black men.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ [3 of 5 Stars]
