Keri doesn't like to get gussied up - she's a tomboy diplomat

Pulls faces every time someone tells her to wipe the spaghetti off her crotch. The rom-com-dram is overly precious to ridiculous (she gets in a rolling in the dirt cat fight with her husband on the lawn before the entire US/British embassy staff).

Its an entertaining series, but the hugely skewed demographics (not a single white alpha mate in the youngish adult range in the cast), invariably feminist takes & tropes, not to mention some real real world whopper scenarios keeps it back in the range of better-than-average Netflix fare, not much more.

Due to her Americans series chops (well-earned), everyone has granted her stratospheric status. Its all a bit much.

You might love it. Younger viewers will probably find less to carp about than I do.

No alphas? Rufus Sewell is outflanking and white knighting her everywhere!

It's great to see that girls need men when it gets tricky. I do love than the women in power show the matriarchal approach and the men show the quips to assist.

Probably an ideal government.

Good post. No straight white man man under fifty in sight, other than wearing suits & speaking into those microphones on their shoulders.

I know I sound like a whiny right-winger here, but they really do bring the PC out at Netflix.

It's not trash, I'm not saying that, either.
