My very old relatives loved this show, they wouldn't stop going on about it. So I watched it expecting great things.

The bodyguard is standard BBC Sunday night fayre, unremarkable in every way. It will blow your mind if your usual drama entertainment is EastEnders and Casualty but for younger audiences it will seem dated and the production values will be noticeably lacking. The plotting is also paint by numbers, if you need to watch columbo to the end to find out who done it then you may just be caught out by the twist.

This is TV to do the ironing by, if the phone rings you won't need to ignore it, you can go to the loo and not worry you'll miss something.
