Title: The Bodyguard
Review: One season…six episodes…pure intensity….London and Britain are under siege from radical terrorists- focused on the Home Secretary (Hawes), who is a get- tough proponent. Her police protection detail is headed by Madden, in a complex PTSD Afghan War vet role. It is a horrific look at power and control and the villainy of many if government to get what they want. Madden (Rob Stark… and unrecognizable) and Hawes (The Durrell’s of Corfu…what a role shift)…are impeccable…and have some scenes that would have been too hot for tv a few years ago. I thought last few episodes waned…and can’t see what there is to bring back another season….but quite riveting.
