6 Episode Season 1 from BBC One

A thriller. David Budd (Richard Madden) went from an army veteran with middle east combat experience to a member of the Specialist Protection Branch of London's Metropolitan Police Service. In episode 1 luck (viewer gets to decide if that was good or bad luck) finds him in a situation with civilian lives at risk. His special set of skills makes him a hero. His reward (viewer gets to decide if it actually was a punishment) is to protect the Home Secretary. She's as strong a supporter for the political reasons behind the war as he is against them. The pace, threats, and intrigue only let up when David is dealing with his Ex-wife, a mess of it's own.

Released in Aug 2018 in the UK, later on US Netflix. I found my copies on USENET.

This really was excellent. Unfortunately, due it's success/reviews, Richard Madden is in high demand and as such further season(s) are (apparently) in doubt.... at least in the short term :roll: :cry:

In the same vein y'all should take a look at Don,t Forget The Driver starring the superb Toby Jones and Fleabag starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Enjoy :cheers: :cheers:
