- The diplomat

Netflix

Keri Russell, who is also an executive producer, leads this political drama as Kate Wyler, the new U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom. She was supposed to have gone to Afghanista­n; while she is great in a crisis zone, in a historic home … less so. War is brewing on one continent and boiling over on another. Kate will have to diffuse internatio­nal crises, forge strategic alliances in London and adjust to her new place in the spotlight — all while trying to survive her marriage to fellow career diplomat and political star Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell).

TCM, beginning at 7 p.m. Turner Classic Movies’ monthlong celebratio­n of Warner Bros.’ centennial continues with another Thursday evening of titles from legendary directors who helmed films for Warner. The movies from the three filmmakers highlighte­d tonight are relatively modern compared to ones highlighte­d in previous weeks. Up first are two production­s from Martin Scorsese: “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore” (1974), starring Best Actress Oscar winner Ellen Burstyn, and “Mean Streets” (1973), the first of many memorable collaborat­ions between Scorsese and star Robert De Niro. Next are two classics from director Stanley

Kubrick, beginning with the TCM premiere of his 1987 Vietnam War drama “Full Metal Jacket,” which earned the filmmaker a shared Oscar nomination for the adapted screenplay he wrote with Michael Herr and Gustav Hasford, based on Hasford’s novel “The Short-timers.” The

second Kubrick feature is the Best Picture-nominated “A Clockwork Orange” (1971), which also earned him nomination­s for his direction and his screenplay adaptation of Anthony Burgess’ novel. The evening concludes with two films from director Francis Ford Coppola’s

pre-“godfather” years: “The Rain People” (1969), a drama starring Shirley Knight, James Caan and Robert Duvall that Coppola also wrote, and “Finian’s Rainbow” (1968), a musical fantasy led by Fred Astaire and Petula Clark.
