I never write reviews on anything I watch, really, but I felt almost compelled to with Bodyguard. I managed to watch all of the series, barley. Though Bodyguard has enthralling exciting scenes within every episode there's a sense I got about them that they just weren't credible within real life. Without giving away any of the plot or storyline, in my opinion the whole production came across as a kind of 'semi professional' manner although being more on the full professional side of the half. The acting was sub-par for the BBC's standard. Some of the acting, details and scenes within the series almost feel like they belong to an amature production rather than a big budget BBC. Due to my current profession; army, I can easily pick various points throughout the series where I watched with a near grimace on my face at the unrealistic, poorly thought through and researched action scenes. However, I will admit the scene with the rooftop sniper was quite spectacularly accurate in terms of ballistic physics and audio usage. The series as a whole had a lot of twists and turns to a degree where I had an idea of what might happen next but could never really have a well educated guess. This was one of the main strongpoints for Bodyguard in my opinion, always keeping you thinking of who is doing what and what will happen next, to which most of the time surprised me. Overall I find it hard to agree with a lot of the reviews already posted about this series, mediocre to dangerously above average at best.
