Bodyguard

Fantastic opening episode. I can't believe some have rated this lower than a 5. My stomach was in knots, especially for the first 20 minutes. The best way I can describe it is that it has the holding one's breath suspense of 'The Night Manager' mixed with an uneasy, on-edge feel of 'Spooks'.

I can't wait to see the next episode.

Bodyguard actually surprised me by how good it was. It was so good I binged all six episodes in a day. If anyone was worried if Richard Madden could star and carry a series they shouldn't be anymore. He was great in this and I'm sure it will lead to even bigger things for him. Madden plays former war veteran David Budd who is now a police sergeant with Landon's Metropolitan Police Service. He is given the assignment of protecting the controversial Home Secretary who he doesn't share the same beliefs. He's also dealing with PTSD from his time in Afghanistan. What follows is an action packed thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire season.

Bodyguard is another great British Tv-Thriller with one of the greatest opening scenes i have seen in quite some time. A show that just keeps on getting better and more exciting from each episode going by, with great casting and the phenomenal actor Richard Madden as the lead, that just.... Kept on surprising me from how they kept it so consistently great and tense all the way through up until the final episode.

Overall:

• The casting was great with the lead actor Richard Madden doing his job to perfection
• The show was greatly directed and kept its pace and momentum it got from the start up until the last minute!!!!!

I Greatly recommend that you watch this Tv-Thriller if you like a blend of "James Bond" and "The Night Agent".

Final Rating 8/10. Great watch.

Bodyguard is deserving of all the awards nominations it got including all the big award shows like Golden Globes, Emmy's, etc. Richard Madden was so good in this that he won the Golden Globe for best lead actor! Bodyguard is a great action thriller that will grab you from the first episode and keep you on the edge of your seat through to the last episode. It was suppose to be a one season limited series but it got such great reviews and great word of mouth from fans of the show that they are now planning on doing another season which is just phenomenal news! If you're looking for a new series to binge watch over a weekend then give this a chance. You won't be disappointed.

It's important to note that this show makes choices you shouldn't expect it to make, keeping you on the edge of your seat. It's incredibly well acted and laid out, although the first half of the first season carries more intrigue than the second half, where things fall off to a degree. It presents likeable characters and complex storylines.
