The show is buoyed by some standout performances. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Nov 20, 2024
When Netflix talks about making shows that are “gourmet cheeseburgers”, The Diplomat is it. It's a lesson in how to make TV that is incredibly binge-y, entertaining, and doesn’t make you feel like an idiot for liking it. Go to Full Review Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) Nov 4, 2024

Season two elevates the stakes, becomes faster-paced, and ultimately has more explosiveness than the first. It may occasionally feel overwhelming, but the results are impressive. Russell crushes once again. Go to Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv Nov 22, 2024

Gregory G @MovieMasterG 2 days ago Not a good show. Got to be the most boring series in the world!! See more Sashi W @sashiw Sep 27, 2026 Great dialogue, strong cast and the plot keeps you engrossed. If you’re a fan of the West Wing, you will love the Diplomat. See more Chuck M @cmeiers Aug 30, 2026 Continues the excellent acting and great scripts from season 1! See more G Y @TheG-Way Mar 21, 2026 Debora Cahn and Keri Russell just pulled a Godfather on this series by making season 2 even more spectacular than season 1! See more Thomas S @RT39405909 Jan 9, 2026 Not as good as the first with some odd side quests of some good action thrown in. The plot thickens. Missing the president though, he was always great in a scene. See more Sharang L @Scribe187 Dec 19, 2025 Never less than brilliant. Everyone involved, front of and behind the camera, are exceptional.
