I’m surprised to hear people panning the diplomat! I loved it so much and thought it was smart/funny/exciting. I also loved the Americans.

How violent is the Americans?

Americans is fantastic.

It’s like Claire Danes in Homeland. Very well done.

Thanks everyone. Buckling up for 75 episodes!

I am hoping that there are several plots over the numerous seasons and not just one story line that builds up to end? seems like too many episodes for that!

I love them both. The diplomat is much lighter though.

Although the Americans is definitely more violent than the Diplomat.

The Americans is one of the best shows of all time. You’ll love it

I loved the Americans and found the diplomat hard to follow and needlessly complicated and with no real plot payoff so I stopped watching.

Plus a billion. The Diplomat is dull and it drags. The Americans is excellent

If I like the Americans would I’d like the diplomat

^sorry, the first four seasons of The Americans

I think you’ll like the first four seasons of The Diplomat, the first three or so seasons of Homeland, and the first two seasons of 24. You’ll also like the US House of Cards but that might not be streaming anywhere due to Kevin Spacey’s involvement.

The Americans is so much better than the Diplomat

I am years behind watching good TV. I recently watched the Diplomat Seasons 1 and 2 and liked it a lot (esp. Keri Russell).

Will I like the Americans? There are 75 episodes so a big commitment. Afraid to google because I don't want spoilers.

Thanks
