Bodyguard

a British TV series (2018) on Netflix
6 episode limited series

Very well-acted, with a soundtrack that accentuates the stress and stain on screen. The lead Richard Madden handles the gravitas and the emotions of PTSD (from his service in Afghanistan) without dialogue, just with this posture and face. The editing and directing is concise, the dialogue to the point without too many words.

Interesting as to how all the security problems seem to originate from within several different governmental and military agencies against one another. Episode one began with a more typical threat, a suicide bomber from an unnamed middle eastern country with an unnamed cause. By the end of Episode 1 and onward appears to be more conspiracies and threats from within, than without.



Currently on episode 3 (of 6)
