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

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

I enjoyed it, mind you would watched it just for Steven Cree 😁

I thought was good

Still a few twists to come

And someone is unfaithful

Tbh Laura's uncharacteristic behaviour seemed as much a plot device as anything else. To further tie her into Fabio and whatever they are up to.

Saw the trailer for that Good Cop during this, sounds like it should be worth a thread, if there isn't one already. But first screened in 2012; I think I might have seen it.

Yes I saw it when it was first showed

Seems weird @duc748

Either she wants to be with Tom or she doesn't

Behind again

Talks to self

Anyone else still watching ?

Everyone seems dodgy

Why did the bouncer admit to killing him

That's life

But with the ungraded watch he will be released

I'm still watching, Blondes, but I watched it days ago and it's already seeping out of my branes! 😀We still don't know exactly what Dodgy Consul and Evil Woman are plotting, do we? Well, I don't!

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/03/2023 06:31

Waves to @duc748

No we don't. Or if we do you and I don't know 😂

Still liking the different extra stories each week

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 29/03/2023 20:36

I did think she would get bumped off

But the reverse was chilling

OP posts:
duc748 · 29/03/2023 20:37

I'm still not clear: Dodgy Consul and Evil Woman may well be wanting to bring down an IRA king-pin, but that doesn't necessarily put them on the side of the angels. I rather like the office banter, seems like a great workplace! Bet the pay is good too.

Blondeshavemorefun · 29/03/2023 21:11

Still confused by it all

But running her over was chilling

OP posts:
duc748 · 29/03/2023 23:25

Wasn't it? And presumably we're meant to think of that as being the doing of Dodgy Consul and Evil Woman?

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/03/2023 09:47

Indeed @duc748

I thought she might have lived but not after the reverse

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 04/04/2023 19:08

On tonight. Last one tonight

duc748 · 05/04/2023 21:47

Come on Blondes, late on parade! 😀

Tuesdays is a busy night for me, so I generally watched this and The Bay in a double bill on Wednesdays. Just finished it, and starting on the Bay now.

Blondeshavemorefun · 06/04/2023 21:19

Sorry. I've seen. Just haven't replied

I got a bit confused

Is her boss dodgy or not

But glad jays killer was found

Dodgy, but not that dodgy, as she said, a spook. The whole storyline was very contrived, though, as someone pointed out, the Dutch guy fondling her ass was the butterfly that started it all off. Still a bit unclear to me who ordered the hit on the lawyer woman. Obv, it pointed to the millionaire villain. But who benefitted most from her death?

duc748 · 07/04/2023 00:15

Sentimental old fool that I am, though, I did like the resolution for Jay and Colin; they were good people.
