I'm not sure if an action drama is supposed to make you chortle and laugh but if so I would like to say "thank you" to the writers of the Bodyguard.

This is by far and away the unintentionally funniest Brit show I have seen in a t good while. From the hackneyed stereotypical terrorist stick in the opening scenes to classic comments like "chest to waist ratio" the whole show is so "buttoned up" it could have doubled as a raincoat.

The main character behaves as if he has either been released or more likely escaped from somewhere. His bug eyed, fixed stare and obsessive compulsive do my job "1000 and 10" percent attitude is truly comical. As is his absurdly formal toadying to the political poodles, he's tasked with minding.

All of which is at odds with predictable but nonetheless rather silly romance with the pollie he is tasked with minding. The bodyguard becomes the booty guard.

I'm not really sure what more I can add. Watch if humour with a overdose of irony and the ludicrous is your thing. 5/10 from me.
