Anyone watching The Diplomat Netflix season 4.

Love it. Bit slow at the start.

I’m two episodes in and all it seems to be is Hal and Kate arguing. The first episode just seemed to be one long scene of them sparring with each other. Hopefully it’ll improve.

Just had this thought regarding the links with the West Wing, The Diplomat and Deborah Cahn...

In one episode of the West Wing, the character Josh Lyman referred to Donna as "Gracie"...in another episode, Donna had a date with a guy called Todd she was wearing that red dress...

Do you think Deborah chose the character names, knowing full well who she'd want to cast as Grace and Todd?

eta, I know Allison played CJ, but at the end of 7 seasons, Josh and Donna were finally a couple - hence Grace and Todd.

Love it. I did gasp when Eidra said what she said at the end even though it's consistent with her character.

Brilliant casting and script!

Just watched the last episode. Brilliant, what an ending. Alison Janey is superbly malevolent!

Binged it, loved it. Shouted “come on Hal” as soon as Miguel stood up! It’s totally jumped the shark but so well done. We haven’t seen nearly enough of Todd yet and I reckon there’s some surprises to come from him.

I can't help thinking...SPOILER ALERT....what on earth he is actually going to say to the Press? I mean, what can he say? I want to know!

fridgefullofplums · 19/10/2026 09:31

Absolutely love it! Every series ends on a fabulous cliffhanger and I am desperate for the next season already!

Just finished the last one. I take back my last comment. The last episode was blinking marvelous!

Yes this was exactly what I thought - I was enjoying the series but that last episode, wow!

I have watched up to episode 5. I was just think how much more I enjoyed series 1 when she was always inappropriately dressed and dashing into toilets to sort her outfit/hair out! It has to be viewed with a pinch of salt. But I do like the cast

Trainstrike · 18/10/2026 19:11

Wow just watched the last episode! Much preferred this series to the others.

I binged the whole new season yesterday!

Just finished it and loved it - although i have trouble keeping up with the diplomat-speak and often have no idea what they are actually saying to each other!

RCOR · 18/10/2026 11:17

I feel like I need notes for every scene on the diplomacy ins and outs😆

mondaytosunday · 18/10/2026 01:00

Love it! Just finished it and OMG! Can’t wait for season 5.

Trainstrike · 17/10/2026 23:07

About halfway through and enjoying this more than the last series I think, although am struggling to remember everything that was probably important as usual.

Pastlast · 17/10/2026 14:49

Enjoyed it a lot. It is however getting a bit shark-jumpy.

Disappointing to be honest. The ‘Windsor Castle ‘ was a joke. Will keep trying , have really enjoyed previous seasons.
