The season 1 conclusion of the Netflix political drama The Diplomat revealed a startling amount about Ambassador Kate Wyler, yet it also answered as many questions as it raised. Throughout the first season of The Diplomat, Kate had to strike a balance between professional difficulties.

Margaret Royland was in on the bombing of the car. Kate told her about the meeting Hal was going to.

[@rrickarr]

There needs to be a Season 2. The first season was just too good to let it end here. Hal Wyler has to live---he is really important to making this show move smoothly. Madame Ambassador cannot carry the show all by herself.

[@ghomrianeabdallah7696]

Agree

[@tj-kv6vr]

there is a second season

[@jacquelinefortune8621]

Season 2 coming 2024

[@perlitagallosa8498]

Thank you for season 2

[@IngemoH]

It`s coming!

[@annc560]

Love Hal's character. He is funny, insightful and just what "Katherine" needs, even though she doesn't realize it. The dynamics of their marriage is so entertaining - I hope the writers keep it going.

[@elisabetejorgepessine3925]

Chato!!!!! Muita conversa boba e interpretações falsas. O tema chama atenção mas….. tema velho e sem graça

[@lavatr8322]

I just watched it...and he really is perfect for Her. But she is into Dennison lol.... craziness she sleeps with Hal but then wants Dennison. Goddammit 😂

[@wonderlizz]

This show is amazing! Please don’t kill Hal

[@misterawkward6612]

Yes pls!

[@lyndamaybruck9565]

Absolutely a MUST for Season 2 and beyond. The best series we've seen.

[@misterawkward6612]

My wife, friends and I just finished season 1 and I must say it was really good and brilliant, on top of it you get to learn more about the insane politics in foreign relations. The series was funny, dramatic and thrilling. Also, Rufus Sewell as Ambassador Hal Wyler is our favorite character, we love the chemistry between his character and Keri’s as the main role, it is bold and cute which is humorous and enjoyable to watch which I think makes the series even better. Rufus’ such a charismatic great actor and is perfect for the mysterious politician character of Hal. I hope he stays up until the coming season. Overall tho, we loved it 💯

[@ronplatz7202]

Are they going to get her character a brush in season 2?

[@nealedavisfitness6937]

😂😂😂😂

[@AjitP]

Anyone else troubled by the fact that this vid is an AI / computerized narrator? Way to save on a paying salary for a voiceover artist....

[@pepita7772]

Please!!! We need season 2!!!! Amazing serie 👏👏👏

[@sandrameyer4500]

How about a second season for “The Diplomat”, which is way better than “The Night Agent” series which was renewed for a second season in record time!

[@annaherlinger6316]

Excellent show! Looking forward to a season 2

[@user-pc7rk1qs5x]

I disagree about this ending. I think Kate has realised the Hal was right and not seeing the limelight. That’s the realisation post understanding Toubridge. Kate caused it by ringing the English political operative. Great show.

[@sallyhunter6697]

Absolutely want another season or two. Great show.

[@dianasofiadiazcastro9035]

I love these kind of videos and I loved The Diplomat. Just as a pointer, if the narration wasn't so fast-paced, it would be much easier to tollow.

[@gregoryburows2585]

Diana - I had to watch a few times to follow the narrative. Better the 2nd and third time. love the closing music

[@derekbotten]

It's obviously an AI voiceover. The pacing is not natural or intuitive. Thumbs down for that!

[@michaeljohnangel6359]

Season 2…? YES, PLEASE!!!!!!!!! YES, YES, YES.

[@manishajain5506]

Yes season 2 is a must and with her secretary and Hal

[@dax8]

We need S2 to see Hal take some kind of responsibility for gaming Kate for his own profit. Love her character. Ronnie was standing right beside that guy and his car. Awful loss, if it plays that way. One could say Kate stopped Hal from being the one that close. So much could be developed from S1. I like Kate and Dennison. He's decent. There has to be a S2-S8, at least. Supporting the Writer's strike but hoping for an early resolution.

[@frozenrose2305]

A damn good series ❤❤❤...season 2 please!!!

[@leocarag9776]

Season 2 please!

[@gailagojar6550]

Please bring back the character of Hal in season 2.

[@aliciagonzalezcastro1703]

esperamos con ansias la segunda serie VAMOOOSS

[@robertor3572]

what about the thing in the credits?, after ""the great gig in the sky"

[@lorettanericcio-bohlman567]

Keri Russel very impressive. 💐💕

[@donnadimanna9173]

We need the same rufus back too

[@user-ge1jn3bk4y]

Did anyone else see the twist coming from about episode 2?

[@boop8127]

I could never be involved in politics. Ugh

[@juniperdog5523]

Great info here, but a computer voice? Why?

[@manuellaopao8036]

what ending? there is no ending .....the story hangs.....it is so unfair to viewers....

[@heidig7773]

Seriously? This needs to be explained?

[@transcripttranslation8801]

The script for this post must have been written by AI. It’s… lacking.

[@joeechegaray827]

What a great show!

[@davidsolove9489]

I’m sorry, did you even watch season 1

[@lavatr8322]

I believe Ronnie Got hurt....she was the closest to the car.... Poor Ronnie , she was the cutest

[@Coffeeandcheese1]

That was a great cliffhanger. Season 2 needs to happen. I have a feeling Hal will be imprisoned by a third party nation to blackmail Kate.

[@kforest2745]

Yeah an interesting show she does well

[@splatoonistproductions5345]

In real life the carrier would have never been hit by anything short of a mass saturation attack from high tech missiles considering it’s always escorted

[@patremick6562]

I hope Kate combs her hair in season 2.

[@issavirgo4838]

Yesss

[@gregoryburows2585]

I like it kind of Messy. It gives her that naughty "just rolled out of bed" look

[@joannsanders242]

I think it’s supposed to prove that she doesn’t care about looks or clothes. But it fails for me because she doesn’t look like a diplomat.

[@BarberBobDetecting]

This not a good recap.

[@jvmbmc]

If Trowbridge is responsible for the attach I think its a BS twist. I preferred when this was sticking to more realistic story lines. Blaming the British for the death of 40 servicemen is ridiculous verging on Qnon conspiracy theory.

[@mahari893]

False flag attacks are fairly common to be honest. The USS Maine, Gulf of Tonkin, Iraq's WMDs, Operation Northwoods and so on are examples where if the US wanted to raise patriotism, they conduct a false flag operation and blame it on a foreign state. Trowbridge hiring a Russian Mercenary group to blow up a portion of an Aircraft Carrier group kinda seems feasible.

[@michaellalli7693]

Did Hayford survive the car bombing?

[@joannsanders242]

I loved the show, but hated that Kate is always so angry. Never, ever smiles. They always portray women in high positions this way, and I don’t think it’s necessary. Looks they are trying really hard to prove how tough they are.

[@YvieT81]

But then….would you say the same if roles were reversed. Let’s say Hal was the ambassador and he was “never smiling”. Would you also be bothered about that or even notice? What I didn’t like about her character was the stupid fighting in the bush scene which made her look like a lunatic and kind of threw away her credibility. And also her indecisiveness towards Hall. Like she wanted him there, yet she didn’t. She wanted a divorce, then she didn’t and then she did. She wanted his advice but wanted him gone at the same time.

[@joannsanders242]

@@YvieT81 I agree with all that. But yes, I wouldn’t like it if it was a guy that was always angry. But I do think they do it to women characters to make them look stronger, and I find that annoying. You don’t have to be angry to be powerful.

[@garyhodge3257]

Sorry, gave it up after Kate’s nonsensical rant (episode 3j, and the constant use of f##k (used to shock only) just takes away from what could have been a good series .

[@weavrmom]

wow--this is extremely poor quality!

[@nisufilm243]

This AI generated Voice is horrible.

[@fionaevans7502]

OMG get rid of the bot voice.

[@robertdove807]

felt the series crapped on the UK which seems to be what a lot of Americans do During the 2nd WW the Brits couldnt trust the US to keep secrets

[@dinahquinones6230]

Hal’s character is a good example of a politician who will use anything and anybody to get what he wants even destroying his wife and his marriage. I rather see the ambassador with Foreign Secretary Dennison handsome, smart, companionate and good hearted towards Madame Ambassador. I would rather see that develop 😮❤

[@adityagawhale]

It's the worst show I have seen. Everyone appears to be busy all the time and acts like a Narcassist. They don't want attention of the public but the people around them. Then they try to sound smart by talking really fast and there is no proper introduction as to what is going on in the show unless you watch till Episode 2 .... Hal is decent but everyone else is unlikable.

[@Kruppt808]

great season undone by a lame ex-Machina, its not Russia or Iran that bombed the Brits, its was the BRITS. Not only the Brits but the top guy so he could keep his job. Yes nations have gone to war to unite/distract the populace but its just so unlikely. Now he is killing everyone to keep a lid on it? I didn't care for the last episode at all minus a few moments. I knew this show was to good to be true, i kept waiting for it to go stupid and it never did, up to the last episode I was thinking this is one of my favorite shows i have watched in years. Then...... they microwaved the end to have a cliff hanger. Lame.

[@bostongabby941]

Looks like your preconceived biases are blocking your reasoning. What a shame.

[@michaeljohnangel6359]

Aw, c'mon. It's exciting!

[@mahari893]

It makes sense? After Brexit, the UK is deteriorating on the world stage and the threat of the Union breaking up lmao. He's just trying to pull a George Bush, William McKinley or LBJ and creating this entire conspiracy web to garner support for his own goals ad adminstration.

[@christiegreenwood2642]

No, it's not. It's finally a political drama going against cliché.

[@Kruppt808]

@@bostongabby941 the Prime Minister staged an attack on his own country for popularity sake is nothing to do with me. I was actually really enjoying the show and might rewatch it because there is so many good things. Just gonna skip the end and pretend something else happened.

[@renolittle4950]

Dump Hal - only thinking about his chess moves using Kate as his Queen.

[@JackSmith-qi7dr]

What a terrible show.

[@misterawkward6612]

Nah! but this is a terrible comment for sure
