It reminds me a lot of West Wing (but with much more profanity), with the banter between believable (mostly) characters, but also showing how real-world politics is messy, and complicated by unreliable narrators…
Really pleased they’ve confirmed Season 2 will be made.

We watched the Eurovision at the weekend. Some of the songs are so bad it is actually good fun to watch. Nice to see countries coming together too.

I have the last 2 episodes of season 2 to watch on my TiVo.
I read that the Lois actress has had a better following than Superman.

Jonathan Kent has been replaced in S3 but it hasn't ruined it for me.

Watched the last four episodes - enjoyed it even more.
What a cracking cliffhanger ending (especially as it’s soundtracked to Pink Floyd’s "The Great Gig In The Sky").

I first heard about it, when a real British Diplomat mentioned 1-2 procedural errors in the Times, FT (?)
Also, I am surprised that the British Diplomat salaries are so low:

The salary starts at £37,037 per year and goes up to £93,151 per year for the highest level of seniority.
