The Diplomat (I) (2023)
9/10
Great point of view ! Good show
8 January 2024
Lots of comment highlights The casting and play,The scenario Or The city shots (Barcelona is beautifully depicted ) and all rightfully so !

But I would like to suggest that the "spice/groove" of this serie (that makes it gently stood out) is what I would like to call a "subtle feminine and original point of view" ( no sexism intended ):

The way attractive women are dressed ( quite classy but not showy/sexy, and definitely alluring)

The dialogs imphasing empathy and just compromise over dominance/hierarchy.

How women's desire is treated.

The way coworkers have a deep and meaningful understanding (castels/Simmonds Ortiz/Simmonds).

The dilemmas along the scenario showing true concerns over modern society.

Even the soft color palate and the pace of the story telling.

It feels somewhat more subtle/deep and give weight at key moments of the story.

When so many series seeks the viewers attention through confrontational situations/violence and clock ticking dooms;

This one takes you on a smoother ride, not without bumps! But with a refreshing point of view that feels really feminine to me !

You probably won't enjoy it if you are looking for a "violent non stop action/cliffhangery thriller spy show" or a drama about a character striving and confronting a "life or death diplomatic nightmare".

But if you take the time to savour it then maybe you'll find it as deeply flavourful as I did.

Surprised in a very good way, I now find myself hoping for a second season!
