Embassy (in Nine Elms), which opened in 2018
Line of Events
In the midst of an international crisis, Kate Wyler, a career diplomat, lands a high-level job she is ill-suited to, one that has tectonic implications for her marriage and political future. The producers convinced the American and British governments to allow them to use real-life locations as filming locations for the series, including the still-new U.S. Britain allowed filming in the office of the Foreign Secretary, an honor rarely granted to any film or film production, especially an American one.

One missing location was Winfield House, the real residence of the U.S. ambassador. Although it is accurately described as the largest residential estate in London (27 acres) other than Buckingham Palace, the producers used a country house outside the city for filming.
So cerebral and riveting
I voraciously watched The Night Agent and thought it couldn’t get much better, but I was wrong. I loved every second of this series. Everything you could hope for in a series.
She played it perfectly
The characters and acting were first class. It was so good to see the delightful Rufus Sewell again, and what a role he played, never knowing what he would do next. Keri Russell was absolutely incredible as the ambassador.
I also loved David Gyas
All in all, a great series, maybe a little short, but well worth watching. The best political show since The West Wing. Excellent!
