What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are mostly into this political drama, and it's Keri Russell's show, she's magnetic as the sharp, stressed Ambassador Kate Wyler, even when the plot gets messy. The story itself gets mixed marks for being a bit familiar and the pacing can drag, but the acting, especially from Russell, and the sharp, tense humor keep it compelling. The marriage drama with Rufus Sewell's Hal is a divisive anchor, with some finding it the weak link, but it's not enough to sink a series that's this well-performed.
