Bodyguard. Not so much TV that I am watching as TV that I am no longer watching. Last week's episode finished with Brolly Boobs bonking her bodyguard. This week's started with more of the same so I just turned it off.
Same here, tho i only managed the first episode.
And that was a struggle
After a fair number of good meaty dramas on TV over the last few years (esp' from the Beeb) I'm really disappointed with this one - was really looking forward to it too.
Very weak characterisation for the two main characters - I feel no empathy for either of them and frankly couldn't give a jot what happens to them.
The bonk-fest elements are painful to watch. I'm far from a prude, and in fairness the sex scenes are very tame, but one or two have been ludicrously elongated and are oh so cliched. The scene with Keeley Hawes with her hand down her knickers egging her PPO on was juvenile imo and added nothing to the story line - just some mild titillation for viewers that find such things titillating.
Some elements of the plot seem absurd: Head of SO15 (?) deliberately withholds support from the under fire Home Secretary and this is not a traceable event? HS's PPO has long-term links with his ex-soldier pal who tries to kill the HS and this is not traceable? Ex-soldier pal not traceable despite having been in the British Armed Forces? All seems a bit absurd to me - this is supposed to be intelligent drama not some Bond-fest where a suspension of disbelief is mandatory.
Poor effort and I'm not bothering with the rest of the series.
