What do you think? Are you a fan of political dramas? Will you watch Bodyguard?
This is one of the best shows this year and Americans are in for a treat.
If the first 20 minutes doesn’t hook you then nothing more about it will.
Written and created by Jed Mercurio, who also created the brilliant Line of Duty.
