16+Season 1
No alliance lasts forever.
Synopsis
The Diplomat (2023), Season 1 is a Netflix political drama you can watch online on iFILM — eight episodes that drop career diplomat Kate Wyler into the wrong job at the worst moment.
She was packed for Kabul. Instead she lands as US ambassador to the UK, arriving just as a British warship is bombed in the Gulf. Forget garden parties at Winfield; Kate has to defuse a crisis while sorting out who actually pulled the trigger, and the easy answers keep falling apart. Her marriage falls apart alongside it. Husband Hal, a diplomatic star in his own right, cannot stand the sidelines, and his side moves keep blowing back on her. The trail of the attack pulls her from London to Paris and a mercenary named Lenkov.
Showrunner Debora Cahn (Homeland) runs the season as embassy procedure spliced with spy thriller, the personal and the geopolitical knotted together. Keri Russell plays it taut throughout. Stream The Diplomat Season 1 online on iFILM.
