Similarities between Netflix’s “The Diplomat” and UXR

Check out the new Netflix series "The Diplomat". I see so many similarities between Keri Russell's role, the cast's dynamics, the challenges they face, and my work as a researcher, product developer, and entrepreneur.

In the episodes I've seen, the show highlights the importance of relationship building, understanding stakeholders and end-users, analyzing power dynamics, and identifying the best strategies to tackle complex problems.

I'm even considering adding "watch this show and take improv classes" to our Ask Like A Pro user research training series!

Have you seen the series?
What similarities do you draw?

Do you have any other recommendations for movies or shows that represent the realities of working in product development or being an entrepreneur?

I’d love to hear about it! ;)
