Critics Reviews

Melinda Houston and Debi Enker Sydney Morning Herald Madden plays Budd like a time bomb poised to detonate, revealing a man scarred by his wartime experiences. Hawes is excellent as the hawkish politician and Mercurio keeps the twists coming through to the finale. May 18, 2020 Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) She's older, upper class, English, and female; he's younger, working class, Scottish, and male. There's 50 shades of "ma'am" in the way he addresses her. Rated: 3/5 Oct 22, 2019 Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe It's two things at once - the list of who did what and the reminder of what happened - and it feels nicely succinct. Like everything else about "Bodyguard," including its hero, the opening is taut. Nov 9, 2018 Full Review Serena Seghedoni Loud and Clear Reviews one of those rare shows that will have you hooked to the screen from the very first scene to the last. Rated: 5/5 Nov 2, 2023 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site What the series creators, fully consciously of it or not, do show is a country ruled by vehemently anti-democratic and authoritarian cliques, none of whom would exhibit the slightest qualms about establishing openly dictatorial rule. Feb 11, 2021 Full Review Huw Saunders Cultured Vultures While Bodyguard is being billed as a thriller, at its core it's that old favourite of the British isles, the police procedural - and crucially, even when it's just going through the procedures, it stays engaging.
