Die Diplomatin

This is a series that needs better writing. Realistic it ain't, and the main character gets way too much screen time. Why is this a problem? Because she's supposed to be an Ambassador or a high ranking diplomat, and they have her acting as an agent, not a diplomat, who single handedly solves issues the CIA and special Ops folks would do if they had weeks of planning. The best episode is the one where our intrepid heroine doesn't take front stage. It's way more solid.

This German series is poorly produced. The plot is confusing and attention to detail is lacking. The first episode is supposedly set in the Philippines, but is clearly filmed in Thailand, as indicated by the fact that Thai writing was clearly visible throughout the scenes. Oddly enough, everyone there seems to speak German. The idea of the series is an interesting one. Pity the level of production is so poor!
