Review of The Diplomat

The Diplomat (I) (2023)
4/10
The receptionist ?
20 March 2023
Thank goodness for user reviews, having watched the 6 episodes I really found it hard to find anything good about this series. Then reading a previous review afterwards I realized instantly what was the issue.

So Sophie Rundle plays Laura at the British consulate in Barcelona who along with her associate Alba played by Serena Manteghi "use their diplomatic skills as lawyers, counselors and cops in a stream of cases".

Well thats what the synopsis says, however they are not exactly diplomatic, especially when it comes to sleeping and defending villains, their like borderline receptionists. No disrespect to receptionists, but I am guessing consulate jobs come with a high level of intelligence of which " Laura " does not have.

The main storyline justs loses itself has a father is searching for an answer to his sons death. The intensity just seems to keep getting flatter and flatter. In reality if any consulate member treated myself like in the series I certainly will not be hugging at the airport.
