I've watched the show and I've read the reviews. The only thing I can conclude is that Netflix is paying for a lot of positive reviews to pump up this show.
First off, I think Keri Russel thinks it is a drama and Rufus thinks its a comedy. If it was a straight comedy, I could deal with all of the plot holes including the fact that Ambassadors require Senate confirmation. They also use lazy plot devices.
I loved the Americans with KR, which is why I watched the show, but this show doesn't even compare.
