Bodyguard (2018)
10/10
Seminal drama

Most drama serials are enjoyable, but pass by like the Summer, they're nice while they lost, but quickly pass by. I think Bodyguard is a drama that will linger for some time. It starts off as it ends, explosive, gripping, unexpected, and full to bursting with twists and intrigue. I can think of only positives, the writing, superb, Jed Mercurio in recent years can do no wrong, he's followed Line of Duty up in some style. The acting is off the scale, Richard Madden in particular delivers huge performance after huge performance, quite incredible, Keeley Hawes, Gina McKee and Paul Ready are fantastic throughout. I love how it's full of twists and turns, over the span of the series I imagined numerous outcomes, I felt sure I'd thought of everything, obviously not, I can't believe what he pulled off. There are so many highlights in the Series, I think I perhaps found the opener the most powerful, truly heart in the mouth viewing.

I'm one of those people that's always desperate for follow up series to shows I've loved, something is telling me to just leave this show as a one off, a gripping, captivating drama that received viewing figures most shows can only dream of.

BBC you've done it once again! 10/10
