BBC's 'Bodyguard' is set for a gripping season finale, and now it's coming to America; here's why you need to watch it

With the series grabbing the attention of Netflix for international distribution rights, here's what makes 'Bodyguard' a series you simply must watch!
UPDATED FEB 15, 2019

The tension grips you from the opening scene itself. Just 15 minutes into episode one and Sergeant David Budd (played by Richard Madden from 'Game of Thrones' and 'Ibiza') is already averting a possible suicide bombing on one of London's trains.

The stoic Afghanistan war veteran and Metropolitan Police Protection Command officer thwarts an act of terror without any casualties, with tension peaking when he attempts to convince the suicide bomber to not press the button even as he steels her from getting shot by counter terrorism officers. Little does he know that this intervention sparks off a chain of events that form the narrative for the rest of 'Bodyguard'.
