'The Diplomat' Season 4 lands on Netflix with a stolen nuke

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNetflix has a new season of The Diplomat out, and our veteran of actual crises has been assigned to review it. Lola, where are you?

2. 

   Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentI'm standing outside a very ordinary apartment building, Hank, because the only safe place to binge season four is a couch two floors above me.

3. 

   Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe premise is that the United States tries to hide the theft of an enemy's nuclear weapon, while a power-hungry president causes mayhem.

4. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat's the plot?

5. 

   Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe New York Post calls it an anxiety-inducing rollercoaster you will not want to get off, and I covered twenty years of real wars.

6. 

   Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentIn my professional experience, a government hiding a stolen nuke has about a forty-minute window before someone texts the wrong group chat.

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the show is realistic.

8. 

   Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe show is stressful. I watched two episodes, checked every window, and then I felt personally responsible for a plot I did not write.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAt the three o'clock hour we heard workers feel the least financially secure in seven years. A nuke thriller might be the cheaper stress.

10. 

    Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentIt's already in your subscription, Hank, which makes it the only crisis this year that comes with a pause button.

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBy piglet price, I'd call it two piglets and a very long night.

12. 

    Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThree piglets, Hank. I'm adding one for the nuke.
