Is it for me?
Diplomacy fans who like watching smart people solve problems out loud, with a marriage that is pleasant to spend time with, will settle in fast. Hallway walk-and-talks carry the plot. Early on, Elizabeth gets her husband Henry to change a Russian minister's daughter's grade so Russia will cooperate. Téa Leoni plays her as someone who has done this before, and Tim Daly gives Henry an easy warmth.
Before you start
Early seasons bring a new crisis each week; the last two shift focus and feel more like a different show.
6 seasons, 120 episodes, 60 min each, about 120 hours so far
