Netflix's Sharp "The Diplomat" Offers Escapism for Political Junkies | TV/Streaming | Roger Ebert
Briefly

The second season of 'The Diplomat' builds on the fallout of a devastating car-bomb assassination, highlighting the sharp intersections of personal trauma and global politics.
Cahn's narrative grapples with complex themes such as sacrifice for the greater good and the enduring belief that real political figures are usually aiming for the best outcomes.
The timing of the show’s release amid a heated political climate is noteworthy, serving as a counterpoint to the chaos represented in contemporary cable news.
While the show may come off as a bit naïve, offering a comforting view of political figures striving toward noble goals, it captures the nuances of human decision-making.
