She is so hyperenergetic and serious about her job that you never know where she will end up. The show runs at a frenetic pace and never quite settles into a cadence, no thanks to its hands-on protagonist Katherine Wyler (Russell). The Diplomat is only eight episodes long but seems like a never-ending maelstrom of tricky diplomatic challenges, sharp marital discombobulation, and growing complexities as the threat of a full-scale global war looms large. She could not turn down this explosive combination, something most viewers are similarly saying after finishing the show. It was Debora Cahn’s insightful access into an unknown world of state departments and diplomats that changed her mind. Russell had no intentions to take on another fully-blown, intense lead character. Keri Russell recently said in an interview while promoting The Diplomat, Netflix’s new high-stakes politically charged drama, that she was not “show shopping” when she was offered the part.
