Matt Roush

Matt Roush says...

The most entertaining political drama since The West Wing careens from crisis to crisis in the twist-filled third season, with UK Ambassador Kate Wyler (the fierce Keri Russell) navigating treacherous diplomatic waters on both sides of the ocean alongside her sometimes in-name-only husband Hal (an amusing Rufus Sewell). Grace Penn (Allison Janney) has become the accidental president after the Wylers threatened to expose her part in a calamitous conspiracy. The Wylers’ roles in Penn’s administration, and the impact on America’s “special relationship” with the UK and its volatile prime minister (Rory Kinnear), provide juicy, suspenseful, and even sexy drama. Kate and Hal’s marriage may be the most deliciously complicated we’ve seen since Russell starred opposite Matthew Rhys in The Americans. Not to be missed. All eight episodes are available for binge-watching.
