Nick Mancuso, as the Deputy Chief of the American Embassy in Rome, finds himself and his staff at the center of various crises including a plot to steal U.S. defense secrets, keeping his press attache girlfriend and the brazen hussey trying to replace her on the job and in his affections from a cat fight, helping an old man from back home locate an Italian flame of decades past, and seeing to the happiness of his boss, the Ambassador -- assorted interwoven plots that comprise this unsuccessful pilot to a series.Mancuso had better series luck with his subsequent pilot, "Stingray," which emerged as a surprise hit. "Embassy" itself wound up with a single Emmy Award nomination, for film sound editing. |
