The Diplomat - Alibi - spoiler thread for those who have streamed all episodes (or some)

Really starting this thread to recommend it.

It is quite fast paced and smart dialogue. Checked (which I dont usually bother with) and the writer also contributed to Strike, The Tunnel and Showtrial. And as in Showtrial has lots of contemporary references / current issues.

Added to which is all the fun of what can go wrong for Brits when abroad.

As well as quite a few recognisable faces from other tv series getting the opportunity to be a different character.

And sort of women focused but without being smaltzy.

And althought doubtful that a local Console would be quite hands on leads to lots of intrigue and wonderful scenes of Barcalona.

I suspect will get a second series.

Didn't put any spoilers in the OP but now I am!

Did anyone else watching actually follow ie understood the ongoing storyline.

I didn't quite understand the ending!

Was the yatchowner a sort of goodie working with the British spooks or was he just the fixer for the dodgy political deals.

Watched it all, was ok, not fantastic, just ok. Remined me of The Mallorca Files, which I did like.

How strange - not that people cant have different opinions.

I thought the Mallorca Files was really weak, with terrible dialogue and characters!

But certainly not the best crime drama every. :)

How do you watch things on Alibi? I'm interested in this series.

IwantToRetire · 20/03/2023 19:44

Alibi is part of UKTV so it will depend who your tv provider is.

According to this it is currently being shown on Sky and Virgin Media.

Not sure about catch up for ealier episodes alibi.uktv.co.uk/shows/the-diplomat/episodes/

It may well turn up on the Drama channel some time in the future as I think that is also part of UKTV

Thanks very much, I don't have a TV, which is probably why I was having trouble finding how to watch this on my phone/laptop. 😀

Does the link not let you watch online - although I think they are up to episode 4 or something.

Its worth checking the UKTV link as it has Alibi, Drama and others, some of which are shown on line.
