Netflix’s The Diplomat gives us The West Wing fans a dream reunion – and a very comforting realisation

It feels like ages ago now, almost twenty years, since that show ended. And honestly, like so many other fans – we call ourselves Wingnuts, by the way – I’ve spent countless hours watching those characters live their lives on screen.

Happy Valley’s Sally Wainwright divulges emotional personal inspiration behind Riot Women – as cast of characters explained

I’ve always been captivated by Sally Wainwright’s work. She has this incredible ability to portray women’s lives with such honesty and depth. I first really noticed it with *Last Tango in Halifax*, watching Nicola Walker and Sarah Lancashire find love later in life – it was just beautiful. Then, Sarah Lancashire completely blew me away in *Happy Valley* a couple of years later. And who could forget Suranne Jones making history so compelling in *Gentleman Jack*? Honestly, in my opinion, she’s the best at what she does – truly gifted at curating and writing stories about women, both in the past and today.

It became a familiar image, and many fans feel nostalgic for it. Considering the current, emotionally-focused direction of the X-Men comics (“From the Ashes”), people naturally expect the team to return to that setting, especially now that they’re joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, it’s time to rethink that expectation. The X-Men have grown beyond needing the X-Mansion; they are more than just their home.
