Story
In the midst of an international crisis, Kate Wyler, a professional diplomat, gets a high-profile job for which she is unsuited, which has tectonic consequences for her marriage and her political future.

The producers convinced the American and amp; The British government allowed them to use real-world locations as locations for the series, including the newly built American Embassy (in Nine Elms), which opened in 2018. Britain allowed filming in the office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, which is rarely granted.
Shown at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards (2024)
The only place not accessible was Winfield House, the actual residence of the American ambassador. Although it is accurately described that it occupies the largest plot of residential land (11 acres) in London, excluding Buckingham Palace, the producers used a country house outside the city for filming. The characters are phenomenally written, and all of them are to some extent a mystery. Their dialogues are dynamic and fascinating, and the storyline continues to develop in chaotic political directions.
It was like “Night Agent”, but much better
It does not have a strong tone, as in other similar shows. I want to compare it a bit to House of Cards, but it doesn’t quite fit the bill. There is a hint of Continuity in it, but again, it doesn’t quite fit. I see reviews complaining about the main character, her disheveled appearance and sharp behavior, but this is her hole!
She does her job well, so no one gets hung up on her manners
“You need people in power who don’t *want* to be in power.” Kate is focused on the mission and the business, where people’s lives hang in the balance. What she is wearing, how she looks and even when she sleeps – all this is secondary to the main mission. I think her style fits the narrative perfectly and it was a refreshing change of pace. The best part of the series is the relationship they all have with each other.
I really hope that we will see season 2
I rarely like all the characters in the series, but this one helped me.
