The Diplomat with Rufus Sewell, Ato Essandoh, Ali Ahn, and David Gyasi. 

Dear Netflix, I can't believe you did me like this!!! Only 8 episodes of one of the best shows I have EVER seen. The writing, the cast, OMGOSH was this GOOD.

David Gyasi brought the passion to this love story, for me. He is brilliant and beautiful: his voice, intelligence and warm eyes are where the love resides, in this series. Hal is provocative and versatile and his character provides impulsive, comic relief with great dialogue in outrageous scenes. Such a well developed cast of beautiful and interesting actors...great to see Keri and Rufus in such compelling roles. But to discover this wonderful ensemble cast in a production that was the natural antidote to the Crown.

I love the Hal character; this show is amazing!

This show is phenomenal!!!! The writing and acting was superb! The chemistry between Kate and Austin is priceless ❤

What a bunch of lovely people. Great show - writing and acting

Great interview Mara! Lots of well thought through meaty questions for this amazing cast. I am approaching my mid-seventies and I have lived through most of the "post-war" history. Governments have come and gone and some (a very few) have moved us forward in significant ways. The Diplomat is so witty and contemporary and in many ways so deep and funny at the same time. My lasting impression, and what will keep me coming back, is that I leave each episode with a deep wish (longing really) that says to me "God I hope and wish that there are people like this in the background moving us towards peace and reigning in the "Dogs of War"". Thank you all for giving us a picture of what "Good Government" might look like!

Best actors interview ever. Kudos to Mara Webster, well-informed and insightful. She brings out the best in each person. They are at ease and and genuinely forthcoming.

I love a series where everything is about the dialogue and you have to really be paying attention to who's saying what and who they're talking to. It's so much like West Wing that I loved so much! Unbelievably fantastic writing! Yeah for the script writing!

Just watched the entire series. I compare the excellent writing and story lines to "The West Wing" which was my all-time favorite TV show. Hal was a sexy character. Look forward to another season

i would wish to see more of Dennison/Kate relationship

I've never watched a film with Rufus Sewell casted in so took me back to learn he's actually BRITISH. All the actors did a fantastic job... bring on season 2 earlier please!

Season 2, please . We loved this series

It is over this interview that made me realise part of the fun of the show for me is that we are seeing three different stages of relationship - from a burgeoning romance to the end of a marriage. 3 for the price of 1. Brilliant.

This series is an excellent watch. Great 👍🏽 Interview. I can’t wait to see SEASON 2#.

Enjoyed the show very much. Started getting bored during the 1st episode, then the last scene came as a shock. From then on, got hooked. The dialogue is very witty, the dynamics between characters are very interesting and multi-layered. Plot is also complex and intriguing. Great TV series. Season 2 please.

Outstanding interview, outstanding depth from the actors.

Best interview! Loved your insight to the show and the characters. You ask the BEST questions 😀 Look forward to seeing more "In Creative Company" actor interviews!

I just finished watching yesterday! I loved this movie and the ending WOW....look forward to the continuation. I loved all the actors

One of the best of these kinds of interviews I’ve ever seen! Bravo

Brilliance illustrated and illuminated

David Gyasi is so smooth

Bravo, Mara Webster! Another fantastic, insightful, fun interview. Yes, im subscribing now!😊

Fabulous interview, great attention to detail. Outstanding cast. Love this show. More please.

Loving it cant wait for next series

I hope season 2 goes ahead. Full marks on cast script show

Love the story line My fav actor ato and rufus

Fabulous interview: interviewer and interviewees.

ich freue mich auf die 2 Staffel !!!! Die Serie ist so voll und gut gespielt geschrieben. Ich freue mich sooooo auf die nächste Staffel. Ich werde die erste noch mehr mal an sehen.

Nice video! Can you let us know what eventually are staffers from Sec of State and F Office saying to you ?

The dynamic between them is interesting. I like watching how the people listening react to the speaker. Gyasi seems to interact less with everyone. When he speaks everyone is still. Not bec they admire him tho. To me he comes across as humorless and pedantic, and self important. Everyone else just seems v cool.

🏅

There's a portrait of Secretary Albright in the set, but there's no Pompeo. Oversight? 😅

The Rufus manspread! So …. Oh brother.

Unpopular Take: Kate is her own worst enemy and sabotages any and all key relationships.
