I love a good cliffhanger, but it would be nice if Netflix would commit to a season two. I read that if there is a second season, we probably won't see it until the summer of 2024. That is a long time to hold one's breath. Ah, maybe they are just toying with us.
This is one of the best shows I've seen on TV in quite awhile. The writing is brilliant - fast and witty, reminiscent of Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell or Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. I found myself frequently rewinding so I could relish every word. Now I'm rewatching it as clearly I missed a lot the first time around.
The chemistry between Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell is incredible and their characters relationship is fascinating and unique. From my perspective, nothing about the story was predictable or formulaic. And of course the ending completely caught me off guard.
Eight episodes was much too short and they just flew by. Hopefully, a season two will be a bit longer, if of course there IS a season two. I highly recommend this show, but watch it when you can give it your full attention.
Edit to add: Monday Netflix announced that The Diplomat has been renewed for a second season. According to Variety, The Diplomat has taken the top spot on Netflix's weekly global Top 10 TV English list. I just rewatched the entire first season.
