Bodyguard
“In the fight for power, who will you trust?”
Creator
Jed Mercurio
Police Sergeant David Budd, a decorated but psychologically scarred veteran of the Afghan war, is assigned as principal protection officer to Home Secretary Julia Montague, an ambitious politician championing hardline security laws he privately despises. Duty binds him to keep her alive even as terror threats close in and his own trauma frays his judgment, while the line between guarding her and getting dangerously close begins to blur. Set against a Britain rattled by extremism and institutional paranoia, the thriller keeps every alliance suspect and every motive murky. Taut, twist-laden and relentlessly tense, it interrogates loyalty, politics and the wounds that soldiers carry home.
