The Diplomat And What's Making Us Happy

In the new Netflix drama, <em>The Diplomat</em>, Keri Russell plays an ambassador who's thrust into an international incident with massive stakes. She's also sorting through a tumultuous marriage with her husband, a hotshot veteran diplomat (Rufus Sewell). The series combines the tension of <em>Homeland </em>with the administrative drama of <em>The West Wing</em> – which makes sense, given that<em> The Diplomat</em>'s creator worked on both shows.
