The only location that was off-limits was Winfield House, the real residence of the American ambassador
Story
In the midst of an international crisis, Kate Wyler, a career diplomat, lands a prestigious job she is ill-equipped for, with tectonic consequences for her marriage and political future. The producers convinced the American and British governments to allow them to use real locations as filming locations for the series, including the still-new American embassy (at Nine Elms), which opened in 2018. The UK allowed filming at the Foreign Secretary’s office, a rare distinction for any film or screen production, especially an American one.
I loved every second of it
Although it is aptly described as occupying the largest residential plot (11 acres) in London outside of Buckingham Palace, the producers used a country house outside the city for filming purposes. Featured in the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards (2024). I watched The Night Agent, thinking it couldn’t get any better, but I was wrong.
So intellectual and fascinating
Everything you could want in a series. The characters and acting were top notch. It was great to see the delicious Rufus Sewell again and what a role he played, never knowing what he would do next.
She played it perfectly
Keri Russell was just wonderful as the ambassador. I also loved David Gyasi. Overall a wonderful series, maybe a little short but definitely worth watching.
The best political series since The West Wing
Excellent!
