3/10

Simply put uninspiring nonsense.

The story appears to revolve around the shortcomings in a female diplomats husband. Apparently he does not understand the political landscape. Worse still, it sounds like he's a nationalist. All of which makes him "weak".

Then there's those evil North Koreans threatening nuclear annihilation.

Its not hard to see the pro DEI bias in all of this, nor the pitch for globalism.

Acting is decent but then on its own, that can't compensate for this series shortcomings.

I managed one episode and that was quite enough to know I wont be watching this again.

In summary, wouldn't it be nice to live in a world where entertainment was free of the incessant drone of DEI nonsense and one sided politics?

You've reached the end.
