Since #TheDiplomat was released on @netflix, I have been asked many questions on the differences between the show and the reality of a diplomat's life. Here are a few things that made me react, agree or laugh 👇🧵

1/7 To my female colleagues: Who gets to chose between 10 different dresses that are lent to you for a cocktail?!
2/7 Last minute ministerial visits happen, but they are usually months in the making, so no diplomat would never, ever forget that a minister arrives in 20 minutes. No way!

As a former U.S. diplomat, I really enjoyed #TheDiplomat on @netflix.

I’ve seen some reviews criticizing the unrealistic aspects of the show. Sure. But I actually think it gets a lot right. Here are my thoughts: (a🧵) Image
It’s great to see diplomacy foregrounded in a Hollywood production about national security.

There are basically no pop culture images of heroic diplomats, but @kerrirussel's Amb. Kate Wyler character is a badass...
She’s courageous, razor sharp, and has a strong sense of purpose. She reminds me of a lot of the women (and men) I know at the State Department.
We should celebrate our diplomats. They are shaping history in real time and rarely get any credit.

My @Newsweek #TheDiplomat podcast interview with @GreenblattJD went to air this week. If you haven't listened yet, I hope you will. This was a rare opportunity for me to speak of the cold shoulder my wife and I get from Washington in our quest for justice art19.com/shows/the-dipl… Image
That @Newsweek/@GreenblattJD interview came on the heels of another rare opportunity to speak about how being suppressed and ignored in Washington feels to parents pursuing American justice. The @J_Insider Jewish Insider #LimitedLiability podcast is here: jewishinsider.com/2022/09/limite… Image
Sincere thanks for their fine and worthy work to @BergelTori @jarrodbernstein and @rich_goldberg at @J_Insider.
