As a retired member of the US Foreign Service, the Foreign Secretary’s take on the Diplomat showed a fun commentary on how diplomats and viewers should view this show. There are elements which must offer realism and truth and there are elements which need a bit of ‘context cooking’ and over the top drama to make the show sing as a great TV show. The Diplomat has the perfect mix. As for the appeal of Foreign Secretary Cleverly vs. David Gyasi, I think it’s a toss up as to who takes the lead on handsome and charming.

Great idea. Thank you for providing a reality check

@darrylbannon8933 7 месяцев назад

It would actually be an interesting module to create for UK schools. Take a few TV shows that have covered a few different government departments and give young people an overview of how government really works. It would help young people with their civic duties and understandings as to why things are the way their are etc.

Netflix should move beyond the bonhomie vibe of Western European missions and delve into the Real Deal experiences and challenges faced by US diplomats... portraying missions in the Middle East, Central Asia, Russia, and China!

@ScootsFromNewCastle 9 месяцев назад

So in the UK federal departments are called ministries but they call the cabinet ministers secretaries?

@JKLoans 9 месяцев назад

They used to be called ministries, the shift overtime was towards being called departments (with some retain the moniker _'office'_ and others for traditions sake retaining _'ministry'_ like the Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Defence). Also, the UK does not have a federal political structure, so no such 'federal departments' exist.

@timelord2024 8 месяцев назад

@positivelyacademical1519 8 месяцев назад

The short answer is there’s no rhyme or reason to it and you can call the departments “department,” “department,” “office,” “ministry” as a prefix or suffix or even use “department of state for” as a prefix. The department heads can be called “secretary,” “minister,” or “secretary of state” (though minister is technically incorrect).

@webbridges1422 Год назад

First off, it's a bloody fictional TV show, not a documentary. Second, compression of events is critical or the show becomes boooooring. Not going to see the actual protocols used because they are booooring. Can't devote 25 minutes of a 50 minute episode to all the nit noisy players involved in setting up meetings. Boooooring. Third, if Kate Wyler was already a PAS in the DoS (or any Federal agency) then under the Federal Vacancies Act of 1998 POTUS absolutely has the authority to send her to London "in a couple of days".

Foreign Secretary not realising this is a fictional TV series. A series that has to make obvious compromises regarding locations and sets. Compromises on content is a given it being fictional, My only real concern is that the Foreign Secretary regards this as a good use of his time. That last explains more than perhaps he had wished.

@SorbusAucubaria 11 месяцев назад

You, not realizing that at the end of the video the Foreign secretary said that the show is not about being accurate, it is about being exiting and that the show is a good fun.
