Scenario
In the midst of an international crisis, Kate Wyler, a career diplomat, ends up in a high-profile job she’s ill-suited for, with tectonic implications for her marriage and political future. The producers convinced both the American and British governments to allow them to use real-life settings as filming locations for the series, including the still-newly opened American embassy (at Nine Elms) that opened in 2018.
The only location unavailable was Winfield House, the current residence of the American ambassador
Britain allowed filming in the Foreign Secretary’s office, a rare honor for any film or film production, especially an American one. Although it is accurately described as occupying the largest residential plot (11 acres) in London, other than Buckingham Palace, the producers used a country house outside the city for filming.

I’m so glad I did because it was great. I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
I could definitely see this series winning some awards
Even though Keri Russell was great in The Americans, I thought it was more about the writing than her acting, so I wasn’t really sure that she and Rufus Sewell could carry a series as leads, but they do, they’re both fantastic here. The chemistry between the two is what makes this show so good.
