Bodyguard (Netflix)

A six-part police-thriller drama series created and written by Jed Mercurio, Bodyguard gained a lot of notice on the BBC, receiving the highest viewing numbers the British station has seen since 2008. That's certainly very impressive, even if the show hasn't quite received the same notice and attention in the United States. Nevertheless, with Richard Madden in the role of Police Sergeant David Budd, a war veteran with PTSD who eventually becomes the principal protection officer (PPO) in London's local government, the series tackles some timely themes on the government's role monitoring private information, the difficulties of living with PTSD in modern society, and several other discussion-worthy topics. Madden's award-winning role is also the source of acclaim. Certainly, while the show hasn't quite made the same impression in the United States, it could be worth your while if you enjoyed the political themes at the center of Amazon's Jack Ryan. You can discover Bodyguard for yourself; all the episodes are now currently available on Netflix.
