Bodyguard, we have watched too many films and TV works about this professional theme. The tight plot, the arrogant but weak and beautiful heroine, and the ruthless, firm and manly hero. At the beginning, there must be many conflicts between the two, and then it is inevitable. The relationship warms up, and then sublimates into love. . . . . .
The above description must be all I expected before watching this British drama. Now that I've watched the first two episodes, there's nothing wrong with the plot I expected, but there are too many unexpected plots!
In the context of the Middle East War on Terrorism, the impact of terrorist attacks on the British people, the trauma of veterans, the intrigue between politicians, the emotional line between the male protagonist and his separated wife and children, the embarrassment of social status and the complex relationship between political interests, etc. . . These are plots that I had absolutely no idea about.
I think the idea of this drama is very suitable for the current social status of Western countries. What positive significance does the anti-terrorism war led by Western powers have on itself? Will the speeches of politicians keep people honestly joining the military to fight seemingly unprofitable wars in the far Middle East? This drama is no longer just a story between a bodyguard and a heroine. In other words, traditional bodyguard-themed film and television works should also keep pace with the times.
I'm used to watching too many Hollywood blockbusters, but I shouldn't evaluate TV dramas with Hollywood's first-class action scenes and special effects. Don't forget, people tell stories!
