Tired of watching 20-somethings have all the fun? This one’s for us.
Ever feel like TV forgot we exist the moment we hit 40? Like we’re suddenly invisible unless we’re cast as someone’s mom, boss, or backup? Well, The Diplomat flips the script—and serves it with a side of sharp wit, messy politics, and a fierce lead who owns every room she walks into.
Starring the brilliant Keri Russell, The Diplomat isn’t just another political thriller—it’s a celebration of midlife power, complexity, and glow-ups that don’t involve ring lights or Botox (though, no judgment if you dabble). It’s proof that women over 40 aren’t just still in the game—we’re rewriting the rules.
Here’s why it’s your next must-watch:
- The Lead Is One of Us: Keri Russell’s character is smart, strategic, and refreshingly human. She’s juggling global diplomacy and relationship drama—because yes, we can do both.
- It’s a Masterclass in Midlife Reinvention: Think career pivots, personal awakenings, and some serious “I am too old for this nonsense” energy. Relatable? Very.
- She’s Not Trying to Be 25—And That’s the Power: The show doesn’t glamorize youth; it glorifies wisdom, experience, and a woman who knows exactly who she is (even when the world is trying to tell her otherwise).
So if you’re craving a show that actually sees you—your ambition, your resilience, your fire—The Diplomat is calling. Binge it with a glass of wine, a mug of herbal tea, or your favorite night serum working overtime. Either way, it’s your time.
