You guys trust me, it’s good.

(Especially if you “know ” the characters from the first two seasons.)

I thought the first two seasons were overly dramatic and unrealistic. Really, the Ambassador is doing all that? So unlikely. But the third season is apparently about trying to navigate being a two career couple, and trying to solve marital conflict in any way possible, and I find that resonates a lot more with me.

I couldn’t get into the first season, because it seemed like the premise was that the main character (and her husband) were the only two people with any brain cells and every other person in their world was an idiot who needed Keri Russell to save them.
Does it get any better? Should I go back and try again? I am looking for something good to watch and wanted to like this but didn’t….

A lot of unexpected plot twists.

A lot of conflicts that come without easy solutions.

I like her non-conforming portrayal of a female leader.

I watched almost the whole new season in just a few nights. Definitely check it out.

I think it's gotten better each season.
Also, I love seeing Allison Janney and Bradley Whitford on screen together again.

I enjoyed the first two seasons with some reservations. IMO this was the best season by far. Great actors and the production value felt noticeably superior.

But it was over too quickly!! Now I have to wait a year or more to see what happens next?? ☹️

I feel the same, with only 8 episodes, it's over too quickly. So many twists in season 3

Absolutely! I binged it over the weekend — it was great!
That said, it felt like “political fantasy porn”: my friends who work in intelligence/State/politics lead far more mundane and uneventful lives. I noticed the series was created by a woman, which tracks with the ‘fantasy’ aspect.

Also Rufus Sewell’s American accent was genuinely impressive — not a single slip! If I didn’t remember him from his “Cold Comfort Farm” days, I’d never have guessed he wasn’t American.
