9/10
Particularly strong performance by Rory Kinnear

Show continues to impress. The writing is so intricately tied to todays real life conflict in Ukraine, it provides genuine thoughtful perspective of how things may play out.

Like in Penny Dreadful, the more screen time you give Rory Kinnear, the better your show will be. He plays the prime minister so well, you can't help but think the guy would actually make a great politician.

Love where the show is headed and I think it was wise to keep the characters to a small group. The show doesn't have any space for annoying unnecessary characters and there are none. After 6 episodes, perhaps it's time to reveal the real villain for viewers to root against instead of a shadowy country, to make it more personal.

It's been one of those days, I'm off for the federal holiday of Juneteenth; a holiday that needs more recognition. But yeah, I've just watched 6 episodes of The Diplomat and I'm all in.
