Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Lby54229 Yet another mistake by the Fox network.... I was very upset when Fox cancelled The American Embassy. I really got into watching it and found its story very intriguing...but, alas, Fox cancelled.Another recent show Fox cancelled was The Inside. What were they thinking? The only show they brought back onto air after cancellation (that I know of)after realizing they made a huge HUGE mistake was Family Guy. And, only after Adult Swim aired the episodes, did Fox face their mistakes.Hopefully, they'll face more! Unlikely though. This has really become a habit - a bad one! Sigh.
mmartin1971 After watching the first episode of American Embassy I was hooked. I was shocked to see that it was going to be canceled after only 6 episodes. With Fox on a canceling spree (Ally McBeal, The X-Files) they need to have something of quality on their lineup and I believe American Embassy is it. It could have easily slid into one of the recently vacated time slots and had the potential of being another major hit. Having visited England before it was a nice change to see something that was actually filmed there. Fox should reconsider and bring back the series for the fall and let the viewers decide if it should stay or go. Re-run the original 6 episodes (so we can finally see how the story line ends) and take it from there.
Brian_KY I found this site while looking for information as to the status of this particular show, not knowing if it was meant to be a pre-season filler or an attempt at a regular time-slotted show. I found "The American Embassy" to be quite entertaining. It mixes just the right amount of drama and comedic relief, in my opinion. And no, Emma is no Ally. I tired of Ally MacBeal after the first season. Ms. Bareikas' character (Emma) appealed to me as a "regular", identifiable person, not to mention being very easy on the eyes.It's a shame, though not surprising, that Fox has decided to cancel this show. Given what they currently choose to broadcast, I guess it just wasn't ignorant or vulgar enough - in the minds of the Fox Exec's - to remain in their lineup. I've yet to speak to anyone who watched it that didn't enjoy it.Admittedly, after reading the previously posted comments I can't decide if I want to chuckle or shake my head. Comments such as (I'm paraphrasing) "they are not using the actual embassy building" or "the tossing of the football made a mockery of the staff meetings" is petty criticism at best. This was network television people. If you want a historically accurate docudrama tune into Discovery or the History Channel.
TxMike TV shows seem to be getting better and more relevant in recent years. Boston Public, and now "The American Embassy", are two examples. A 28-year-old leaves the USA to find herself, takes a job as Vice Counsel at the American Embassy in London. Having been to London on business and pleasure a number of times the past 10 years or so, and loving the city, it is a pleasure seeing it as a locale in a good TV series. Emma has a few embarrassing "rookie" experiences, but the big one is losing track of the 12-year-old who had been abducted by her father and whose mother was now on the way to London to bring her home. She is found in the nick of time, and, as the first episode is ending, a bomb blast shatters the embassy windows, everyone hits the floor, and the episode closes with a tribute to two who died in the 9/11/01 event in NYC. If the good writing continues, this new show promises to be a winner.
