I begin with the apology ,for my lack of knowledge about the workings of diplomatic missions, especially those outside of the UK or USA. It is intriguing to see how things unfold in this context, much like how it is portrayed in this series
The pilot episode wastes no time in introducing the two main characters, Kate and Hal, who are both career diplomats with contrasting attitudes. What adds an interesting twist is that they are married to each other. The initial portrayal of their relationship allows the audience to anticipate how Hal's behavior, driven by his male ego, will constantly influence Kate's decisions and actions. This setup also hints foreshadowing future episodes, reminiscent of the style seen in "House of Cards". I sincerely hope that this promising beginning will not be marred by a disappointing conclusion, as was the case with "House of Cards". As individuals interested in understanding power dynamics and how our respective countries are perceived from a diplomatic standpoint, it is enjoyable for us to explore these themes in the series.
