An interesting take on current politics with real issue being used (murder of Qasem Solimani, Old Biden, Resinging VP) drawing alots of parallel with current politics.
I'm 2 episodes in and it's quite fun.
It's on Netflix and renewed for 2nd season.

Its pretty cringeworthy to be fair. Mediocre writing and acting.
Is it? I honestly don't know how close to actual or at least how believable live as ambassador being portrayed in the series
It has its moments, but it is otherwise one of those streaming series that one abandons half way through because it gets progressively duller with each episodes.
I thought the acting was good but the storyline seemed all over the place. Bit of a slug to get through it even though the ending was exciting.
I won't go into whether it's cringeworthy or whether the writing is mediocre, the show certainly has its flaws, but I can totally, 100%, with all certainty, unequivocally, affirm that the acting is not mediocre in any way, shape or form, whatsoever. In fact, it's mostly superb, and that includes both leads, who are excellent, Keri Russell in particular is absolutely fantastic in this. Most of the supporting cast is also spot on. I'm actually genuinely puzzled someone hasn't liked the acting in this
