A friend of mine suggested I try Netflix's new series; The Diplomat, with Kerri Russell, and Rufus Seawell.
It had an interesting plot and premise and tonight I decided to give it a try.
In the first 10 minutes of this show they had managed to find a way to include every Diversity Demographic possible, including what appeared to be a non-binary character.
Part of the plot concerns the President appointing a career Foreign Service official as the Ambassador to England, and she is female. As most know that plum job usually goes to a high political donor. In this case there is an international crisis and it is deemed necessary to have have someone with real experience in the job.
The next thing I found interesting was the Foreign Minister of England was black, not an impossibility of course, but it's more likely you would see someone of Indian or Middle Eastern descent given the demographics of a changing Britain. I may to need to check the makeup of Parliament to see what is it is these days.
It certainly has what you call a scent of Wokeness about it and I will have to at least watch episode 2 to see where it takes us.
the pretender, with the dark haired fem fatale in the miniskirt...
