Fourth season of The Diplomat don land, and the tension don climb pass as e be before. Keri Russell still dey play Kate Wyler, the US ambassador to the UK, and she still dey try stop a crowd of people wey one bad hair day fit push dem to start nuclear war.
Di wahala dis time na say one Russian submarine dey stuck for the bottom of the North Sea because e don spoil. But the real gbege be say the Americans don thief the nuclear missile wey dey inside the submarine. Russia never sabi say dem don carry their weapon.
Kate Wyler believe say when Russia eventually find out, dem go vex welu-welu. She tell her husband Hal, wey be the current US vice president, say Russia go come take their sub, dem go lose their shit when dem discover say their apocalypse weapon don vanish, and dem go attack the United Kingdom. Hal just answer am with “Hmm” and “Mmm”.
The Prime Minister, Nicol Trowbridge, wey Rory Kinnear dey play, no sabi anything about wetin dey happen, and the review call am a berk. The US president na Grace Penn, wey Allison Janney dey play, and the review talk say the situation wey dem dey face almost wholly na because of her own whims.
The show come from Debora Cahn. The review describe am as a transatlantic thriller wey don dey interested for the real-world consequences of the many huffs wey the politicians dey do. Every twist dey carry the feeling say humanity na just one bad hair day away from Armageddon, and this time the stakes and the cortisol levels don rise pass before.
For one scene, the Penns and the Wylers dey Windsor Castle after protesters block the M25, so dem divert their motorcade go the royal estate wey currently no get king. Kate want Hal make he tell the president make she tell the PM say the Americans don take the Russians’ weapon. Hal no gree at all. He talk say he no dey endorse her “confessional” and say e “dumb”.
Hal also no gree when Kate talk say him and his boss “look shady together”. He tell her say “You’re jealous”.
