News Summary

• Keri Russell’s series The Diplomat always fell on my list alongside things like The Americans and Designated Survivor as something I figured I would enjoy but never was a priority.
• There are definitely parts of the Netflix series that feel like The West Wing — particularly when they get into the weeds of international relations.
• I’m more likely to feel a sense of satisfaction over some legislation being passed on than to get bamboozled over who double-crossed whom to cause an international incident.
