Why You Should Watch The Diplomat
The Diplomat Turns Complicated Politics Into A Fun Romp
If the Rotten Tomatoes score was not enough to prove the show’s worth, the Netflix show has earned accolades for its portrayal of the lives of diplomats. While real-world ambassadors do not necessarily experience situations as suspenseful as The Diplomat‘s HMS Courageous attack, the stakes constantly provide a breathtaking sense of adventure. Every character has substantial narratives that provide drama and intrigue to every scene. The story is not quite as realistic as The West Wing or other Aaron Sorkin shows, but the political thriller is still worth a watch if only to see what absurdity comes next.
Its unique and ridiculous take on politics makes it a must-watch.
Considering the enormous leap in the Popcornmeter score, it is certainly worth revisiting the show, even if season 1 was disappointing. The quality of the show massively improved, and every member of the cast now has an important role in the narrative. The Diplomat‘s shocking season 2 cliffhanger is part of the reason for its success, as it left reviewers desperate for more. Never before has the show been so exciting. Its unique and ridiculous take on politics makes it a must-watch.
Our Take On The Diplomat’s Success
Word-Of-Mouth Could Provide Higher Viewership
The Rotten Tomatoes score marks a massive change for the show and represents a much-needed shift in audience’s perspective. The Diplomat season 3 has already been confirmed, which means that the cliffhanger ending will receive a resolution. Anyone who has shied away from the show due to quality concerns or worries about cancelation can rest assured that those issues have already been addressed. The series is worth revisiting, and its Rotten Tomatoes improvement is proof.
