The Diplomat

Every ideology represented

Deeply diverse casting. So any white guys are fools, a…holes, or bit parts. That said, the cast is very good and the script is well written except when it veers feminist. Gave up watching it in the end. (Sigh)

Very woke but very well written.

The acting is excellent enough and the dialogue snappy enough to almost overcome the overwhelmingly exaggerated diversity. Everyone is represented here with even a trans.
The Univeral government in the entire world apparently is primarily female and black with the old white guys in power needing to be "managed".
I guess my general mistrust of all government helps in my enjoyment of this cleverly written show. Even if it's obvious.

Spoiler Alert -NOT

Very woke. Every white male is a scumbag as per usual. Diverse cast in senior positions is not unrealistic due to the over-correction we are witnessing in real life politics. This is usually more irritating in historical dramas which then do become less accurate.


AND ... then the 'not really a spoiler alert': now that the agency received narrative has switched from 'Terrorists are usually Islamist terrorists' to the 'threat' of domestic terrorism post Trump and Brexit (often backed by Russia), it is no surprise who the baddies turn out to be.
