This miniseries about a policeman with PTSD assigned to protect the British Home Secretary is worth a look and May hold your interest, but suffers from inconsistencies in acting, directing and especially writing.

Keeley Hawes is excellent as the politician but Richard Madden struggles with his character, mainly thanks to poor writing. At times all immediate and insightful, intelligent action, yet at other times he has to contend with overlong brooding takes where he comes across as a constipated version of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Performances by supporting cast are good to ordinary.

The biggest problem is the story line, which has plot holes all over the place, some of meteoric proportions - see some of the other reviews here. To try to keep you guessing, the direction attempts red herrings which are at times so contrived and obvious it insults the viewer's intelligence.

Still, it's fundamentally an interesting idea and story and it had enough to hold my interest for all 6 episodes. Overall 6.5 stars.
