Ambassador Keri Russell Navigates Love and Politics in Netflix's 'The Diplomat'

Keri Russell stars in the new Netflix series The Diplomat as Kate Wyler, an ambassador stationed in London after a terrorist attack.
The show follows Kate Wyler as she takes on the role of U.S. Ambassador to the U.K. and deals with international crises as well as issues in her marriage.
Creator Debora Cahn aimed to explore the complexity of Wyler's relationships and the challenges of her new position.
The fast-paced political drama fills a hole in Netflix's content and has drawn comparisons to shows like The West Wing and 24.
Russell's performance as the hyper-competent but relatable Wyler has garnered praise and left viewers hoping for a second season.
