[edit] Synopsis
The series followed the personal and professional life of Emma Brody (played by Arija Bareikis), a young woman from the United States who entered the U.S. Foreign Service to get away from her dysfunctional life in Toledo, Ohio. Assigned to the U.S. Embassy in London as a vice consul, she is faced with new dilemmas that arise out of the challenging work of a Foreign Service Officer, as well as the personal issues that caused her to seek out the job in the first place. The show aired in 2002 and touched on many sensitive issues regarding terrorism and post-9/11 American foreign policy. An episode was dedicated to the effects of racial profiling in which British and American personnel investigate a London mosque. Another episode touched on the effects of terrorist attacks after the embassy is hit by a car bomb. Lighter story lines focused on Brody's relationship with her London roommate, her younger sister in America, CIA agent Doug Roach, and Brody's budding romance with a British Lord.
The show was canceled on Fox after the third episode, with the fourth episode being the last one aired by Fox. A total of six episodes had been produced, and all six were aired by the Seven Network in Australia.
