48/40
honor for any film or screen production, especially an American one
Chronology
In the midst of an international crisis, Kate Wyler, a career diplomat, lands in a high-profile job for which she is not suited, with tectonic implications for her marriage and her political future. British governments to let them use real-life settings as filming locations for the series, including the still-recent American embassy (at Nine Elms).
The one unavailable location was Winfield House, the American ambassador's current residence
Although it's accurately described as occupying the largest plot of residential land (11 acres) in London aside from Buckingham Palace, the producers used a country house outside the city for filming purposes ). The characters are phenomenally written and all of them are an enigma to some degree.
It has a hint of Succession but again not a true fit
Their dialogue is fast paced and engaging, and the storyline keeps evolving in chaotic political directions. I want to compare it slightly to House of Cards but that doesn't fit the bill.
She's good at her job so no one dwells about her decorum
It felt similar to the Night Agent but wayyyy better.I see reviews complaining about the lead and her disheveled appearance and abrasive behavior, but that's her hole thing! "You want people in power who don't *want* to be in power"." What she's wearing, how she looks, and even when she sleeps all come second to the primary mission.
Really hopefully we'll see a s2
I thought her style fit the narrative perfectly, and it was a refreshing change of pace. It's rare I like all of the characters in a show but this one did it for me.
