      Looks like the Brits did a video first according to my next video suggestion. See "British Foreign Secretary reacts to The Diplomat".

    I am a child of a diplomat and spent most of my childhood overseas living that life. I found this series, The Diplomat, to capture much of the spirit of the job. American values are front and center in your life and how you portray yourself to others. Also, there can be quite a lot of drama, quite a lot of real danger, and I appreciated that the show brought some of that into their plot line. For my experience, I lived in Berlin during the Cold War, and in Afghanistan when things fell apart in the late 70's. I am glad to see actual diplomats validating my memories of this life here.

    I loved this entire first season on Netflix. It's funny you guys took the time to record this video, finishing it up with a career plug. I wish I was young and educated enough to pursue a public service career. Thank you for your service Kristin Kane!

      Hi. I also work for the Department of State. I think Ms. Kane was being - wait for it! - diplomatic, by choosing to focus on the aspects of the show that the creators got right. There's plenty they did not. Trust me.

    As a former diplomat of a third world country with a decade of experience, I can without a doubt say that foreign service is an extraordinary career that you will never forget. Looking back I am still amazed at the things that I did for my country and the shit I put up with while putting on that perfect composure as diplomats are representing the country. I left the service with no regret because of a coup but I do miss the pride I felt representing my country. Every diplomat has behind the curtain special story. Definitely gonna watch that show😊

    As a French person, the ending career message is very interesting and feels very American (in a good way). I don't think I've ever seen a career plug in a similar French video. I think there's this idea that we like to keep what's elitist and prestigious that way, while I feel like American will try (or make us think they do) to demystify it.

    I have such respect for Foreign Service, but found the show un-watchable. I was hoping for The West Wing abroad, but really disliked the manufactured drama from the elected officials (I'm sure they're annoying, but the immaturity was over the top "I want to blow something up!" so dumb) and the sexual tension from otherwise very serious characters in high roles.
