I'm once again late to the party, but season 1 of The Diplomat is really great, and not just because Keri Russell is amazing and hot. Lots of great performances.

I'm particularly intrigued by Rufus Sewell's character.

I'm always intrigued by like what makes relationships / work not work. Hal being both a gigantic asshole and a good, comforting partner sometimes is just...WILD to me.
omg Allison Janney's character is so amazing. What a fucked up situation

so this thing about HMNB Clyde. I think it's fucking stupid. The scheme to keep it was fucking stupid. But I also don't think it's as geopolitically important as it sounds.

That's just American Imperialism.

WE NEED AMERICAN MILITARY BASES EVERYWHERE BECAUSE OTHERWISE EVERYTHING FALLS APART is horseshit.

omg I wrote that while the episode was still going

lol

Hal soft-assassinated the president by pissing him off so much that he died.

Now Allison Janney is POTUS and I think that means VP is an appointment that needs to be confirmed by the Senate?

BRAD FUCKING WHITFORD

I'm FASCINATED by the relationships in this show. The relationships are the point. All these people are killing each other.

is that what relationships are for people? killing each other more slowly than others?

what the fuck is wrong with humans

Diplomat S3 is pretty brutal. Dang.
overall feels on the show up to now:
* I enjoyed it
* there could be SO MANY good supercuts
