Netflix's re-distribution of this package deserves some critical-thinking - if only to balance the uncritical. Despite most BBC stuff needing a health warning the production, filming and writing are pretty decent. If you could only take a pair of scissors to those cringeworthy BBC soundbites Bodyguard'd gain a good critical score. (Rob Stark) Richard Madden here plays a "Sean Connery without the quips", taciturn, emotionless, good-cop character. His ability not to flinch even after shocking events gets to be daunting, as does his ability to hear normally after an ear-drum destruction event. You could continue to drill holes in so many other very ridiculous and stupidly constructed scenarios of Bodyguard. As a very violent but not at all original TV Series it does what it says on the BBC Tin - entertaining, springing surprise upon brutal surprise & appealing to an audience the BBC "supposes" to be "out there", though (since their finances are safe) nobody at Beeb HQ really needs to know.
