The Americans actor Keri Russell is pitch perfect as a US ambassador to the UK. Her turn in this series is so deft you wish she had the job in real life – much like a certain onscreen president
’m just so happy for Keri Russell. Think how she must feel. Years and years of paying her dues – starting off in Disney’s The Mickey Mouse Club, making her name playing the title character in Felicity at the turn of the millennium and working solidly but unspectacularly thereafter until 10 years ago. Then she starred with Matthew Rhys in The Americans, as one half of a couple of KGB spies deep undercover in Reagan’s America and blew everyone out of the water.
The Diplomat is a much less sophisticated affair than The Americans, but Russell is possibly even better in the former than she was in the latter.
It is of course impossible for Hal not to give her advice, and his ambassadorial manspreading soon leads to conflicts in her job, as he arranges “impromptu” public meetings with unsuitable people, inveigles his way into places he ought not to be and gets himself semi-kidnapped instead of staying at home and deciding what art to hang on the residence’s walls like a good wife should.
