The return of Netflix’s political thriller The Diplomat is among the couple of television programs from the streaming giant that I essentially counted down the days for since that explosive Season 1 ending. And now that it’s here– and, unsurprisingly, currently controling Netflix’s United States Top 10 chart– I’m pleased to report that it not just measures up to the requirement it set throughout Season 1, however I ‘d even argue this season will decrease as one of the very best Netflix television series of 2024.
If you’re prepared to suspend a particular quantity of shock (The Diplomatafter all, is a drama and not a documentary) the program from developer Debora Cahn uses rather an amusing trip. I understand I should not need to mention that caution, however when I see takes like this one– from a curmudgeon at Forbes who believed the ending of the brand-new season didn’t ring real or whatever– I feel that it’s worth explaining the above reality once again. The Diplomat is a television program, and a damn great one.
Here are 5 reasons that I in fact believe it’s amongst the very best of Netflix’s television releases this year. I’ve ended up the brand-new season, by the method, so be forewarned: There are * spoilers * ahead.
The Diplomat seems like a cross in between Homeland and The West Wing
The Diplomat‘s affects rank amongst a few of the best political television programs of the contemporary period, which’s not by mishap. Cahn really cut her teeth on, wait on it, both Homeland and The West WingWhich is to state: If you were a fan of both programs, Season 2 of The Diplomat must be specifically right up your street.

The story this season, with American ambassador to the UK Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) racing to get to the bottom of what seems a fatal incorrect flag attack, makes the program seem like an espionage thriller tucked inside a walk-and-talk-style political drama. Allison Janney’s Vice President Grace Penn– the veep who Kate is really being groomed to change, by means of her publishing in London– likewise encounters the pond for a satisfyingly remarkable go to with Kate.
Long story short, there’s a factor both the audience and critics’ ratings for The Diplomat‘s brand-new season are higher this time around.
The side characters are simply as fascinating as the primary cast
Another factor for the mostly favorable reaction to the brand-new season of The Diplomat needs to do, I believe, with the fascinating side characters– all of whom have actually been completely cast and who have no problem keeping your interest when the program’s leads are off doing something else.
