THE DIPLOMAT. TUE 9pm alibi. TV PACE. NO SPOILERS

69 replies

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/02/2023 11:15

The six-part series follows Laura Simmonds and her Barcelona Consul colleague and friend Alba Ortiz as they fight to protect British nationals who find themselves in trouble in the Catalan city.

Mixing the roles of lawyer, counsellor and cop, Laura and Alba’s diplomatic skills are stretched to the limit by the stream of cases that walk through the Consul’s doors.

The series opens on the unexplained death of a young British barman working around Barcelona’s notorious marina.

While Laura supports the boy’s angry father, Colin , neither the Spanish police nor the Foreign Office are keen to pursue a murder enquiry.

As Laura and Alba uncover the events surrounding the barman’s death, they discover links not only to organised crime, but also to the British security services. Laura’s quest for justice places her in real jeopardy, as she threatens to expose secrets that the British and Spanish will go to any lengths to keep hidden.

I do love alibi stuff so hope this will be good tonight

Just a thought Blondeshavemorefun - wouldn't it be less work for you if you started a thread called Blondes Best Bits or something, where you can give advance notice of tv shows, and then anyone can join rather than you have to do all these "@" as once they are on the thread they get your up dates.

Also it means more open to chat etc., and then nearer the date just start a thread for a new series so that those who just want to comment on that can and it wont be so far in advance it gets lost down the list.

Did you see this one. Sort of Madame le Blanc meets Midsummer Murders - Harry Wilde Investigates with Jane Seymour. Started last week on C5.

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/02/2023 17:20

Ha ha. Love it. Blondes best bits

Thanks for the heads up.
i dont always watch at the same pace (i am a binger) but i always read the threads even if i cant join in.
i wayched a bit of this last night but was too tired so will try again later.
Thought the banter in thr car was a bit odd-rhey had just picked him up to go view his sons dead body!

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/03/2023 10:16

That's how I felt @ellebelli

I will try again today

Be interesting what others thought of it

duc748 · 01/03/2023 12:26

I'll give this look, tonight probably.

lazymum99 · 01/03/2023 19:48

I enjoyed the scenery in Barcelona. Lovely city to visit. need to watch the last 20 minutes tho fell asleep!
Re. Harry Wilde on channel 5. Jane Seymour looking good. But it’s a bit rubbish so far

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/03/2023 15:03

I rewatched when not tired

Will try e2 on Tuesday

Anyone else watch it

OP posts:
duc748 · 04/03/2023 15:16

I did. Will watch on Tuesday. Or Wednesday.

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/03/2023 15:31

Def worth a watch

I must have been tired first time round as didn't think it was much

This time much better and enjoyed the plot

OP posts:
ellebelli · 04/03/2023 20:37

Sorry, not sorry-I have watched up to episode 3 and i am losing interest in it.
It has some funny scenes but seems a bit naff overall(cant think of a better way to describe it)

Blondeshavemorefun · 05/03/2023 10:21

Bingeing @ellebelli 🙀🙀🙀

We watched episode 1 last night - definitely has promise.

Blondeshavemorefun · 05/03/2023 16:32

Well done @Emotionalsupportviper for not bingeing !!

It hasn't been easy, @Blondeshavemorefun - being too knackered lately to keep my eyes open for more than an hour has been a blessing.
