I came here to see what the hype was all about. I started the series at 10am, less than 12 hours later and I am done and I report: worth the watch.

We have all seen or can accurately guess from Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston the typical formulae of the Bodyguard. But I mistakenly assumed this series would be the usual romantic trash Hollywood churns out. Its not.

The series picks up well and builds on it but midway I have to admit I was bored and only ploughed on as it was a mere 6 episodes. Im glad I did as it picks a faster and more interesting pace in Episode 5. All the attention to detail and minutiae pays off soo well in this series. Acting by supporting leads is superb as you can never accurately guess who to pin the blame on. Use of music is done well here too.

I do recommend this series, regardless if the hype train brought you here, stay for the ride. Im keen to see how this develops for a season 2.
