Though I’m no particular fan of palace drama … I do recommend this TV series.

Season 1 is entertaining.

Season 2 centers on Kate Wyler, the new United States ambassador to the United Kingdom, as she helps to defuse an international crisis, forges strategic alliances and adjusts to her new place in the spotlight.

She also manages her deteriorating marriage to fellow career diplomat Hal Wyler.

The plot is interesting. A British aircraft carrier is attacked in the Persian Gulf, killing 41 sailors?

Who is responsible?

Was it Russia?

Or the Prime Minister?

More twists and turns than typical American television.

GREAT cast.

Best is Rory Kinnear as Nicol Trowbridge, UK prime minister.

Rufus Sewell as Hal Wyler, Kate’s husband and former US ambassador to Lebanon is excellent, too.

Allison Janney as Grace Penn, Vice President of the United States. Always terrific.

There’s enough humour to keep me amused.

Too much time is spent on the dysfunctional relationships IMHO.
