Britain allowed filming to take place in the Foreign Secretary’s office, an honor rarely bestowed upon any film or film production, especially an American one

Tale

Career diplomat Kate Wyler finds herself thrust into a position of prominence she is unprepared for in the midst of an international crisis, with tectonic implications for her marriage and political future. The producers convinced the American and British governments to allow them to use real-life locations as filming locations for the series, including the still-new American embassy (at Nine Elms), which opened in 2018.

Presented at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards (2024)

The only location unavailable was Winfield House, the royal residence of the American ambassador. Although it was accurately described as occupying the largest residential plot (11 acres) in London outside of Buckingham Palace, the producers used a country house outside the city for filming.

As hard as it is to believe, this series is also “new” It’s truly original, it’s never been done before

Something major happens halfway through the first episode, and the makers of this drama somehow managed to convince the people who make the trailers not to include it, or even hint at it. I’m only halfway through the second episode, but I can already tell you that it’s not like other shows or books in the spy thriller genre.

The acting is very, very believable

It’s also refreshing in a way, because it’s not dominated by the kind of paranoia that plagues Australians and others. The writing is skillful; the plot and dialogue flow perfectly.
