4 (More) Things I Never Want to See on TV Again, Courtesy of The Diplomat
Briefly

The second season of The Diplomat continues to portray its main character, Kate, as a powerful woman in politics while neglecting basic life skills, showcasing a bizarre narrative contrast.
The show perpetuates the narrative that combines girlbossing tropes with a soap opera-style plot, undermining the complexity of international politics and women's roles within it.
The evolving dynamic between Kate and Hal serves as a central conflict, reflecting tension in their on-the-rocks marriage but also illustrating the show's struggle with character development.
Despite moments of tension, the series falls back on familiar tropes like the complicated marriage and political power struggles, making the plot feel predictable and uninspired.
