From the Bartlet White House to The Diplomat — Are You Watching?
Have you watched The Diplomat?
The Diplomat creator Debora Cahn started her career writing for The West Wing.
For those who watch both, do you see similarities between the two shows? Does The Diplomat scratch any of that West Wing itch for you, or do you see them as completely different animals?
And if you haven't watched it yet, does knowing about the Debora Cahn connection make you more likely to give it a try?
⚠️ Let's keep major Diplomat plot developments spoiler-free—or clearly mark your spoilers—for anyone who hasn't watched yet.
I'm really curious how much crossover we have between West Wing fans and The Diplomat fans!
