[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An ambassador lying in public on a marble step in her slip?? That was ridiculous.[/quote]

YES. That was the shot that really drove home what an earlier PP said on this thread -- this show does not know what it wants to be. The tone is all over the place. While I completely understand and am usually fine with a story being escapist TV and not necessarily accurate (re: all the discussion above in this thread about what real ambassadors do and don't do, are and are not), the show doesn't seem to have a single vision behind it. Is it full-on a drama with a little humor? Is it a satire on how power politics works? Are we supposed to root for Kate over everyone and everything? (I can't really feel it's inspiring me to pull for her much.) It's just tonally blah, neither a committed satire nor a very engaging drama nor consistently amusing, to me, at least.

And the "lying on the steps in a slip, bare-legged" scene was just so clearly a case of :"We're telegraphing how I-don't-care she is, how desperate she is not to be a shallow fashion icon, how tired this briliant perso is of all this silliness!" But it just came off as dopey and grafted on.
