Review: Bodyguard

The other DrC and I just finished watching the six episodes of the British miniseries Bodyguard, which is on Netflix. The short answer is we enjoyed it. In case you might watch it, I'll try to avoid spoilers.

Imagine a young British cop, ex-military, who through a series of circumstances ends up becoming the PPO (personal protection officer) for a Cabinet Minister, in this case she heads the Home Office. The intrigue is interesting, the characters are believable, and in places the tension is quite high. Parts of the plot were reminiscent of the British House of Cards

When it came to an end, we found we wished they'd made another season but apparently that was never envisioned. If you like Brit dramas - we do - you'll probably enjoy it.

Later ... It appears there will be a season 2, but not until 2023 at the earliest, and maybe 2024. I don't believe production has begun, nevertheless good news.
