Bodyguard: Episode #1.2 (2018)
Fantastic!
Episode Two of Bodyguard is so well-done and magnificently-executed; it's gripping, thrilling, heart-wrenching and frightening. Watching it was a wonderful ride, and it's so good, I want to watch it again.
The unarguably main highlight of this episode is the assassination attempt scene, what an absolute marvel of a scene that is. I've rewatched it several times and it never failed to shock me and get me on the edge of my seat. Hats off to Keeley Hawes and Richard Madden for their impeccably fantastic acting, to Ruth Barrett and Ruskin Williamson for their great work on the suspenseful score, and last but not least, to Thomas Vincent for his stellar directing.
Bodyguard: Episode #1.1 (2018)
Good Start, Could've Been A Bit Better
A good pilot episode that introduces the viewer to the main characters and their backgrounds without becoming confusing or boring, a problem some shows suffer from.
In terms of production and execution, the directing is overall great, but a few shots were quite questionable artistically. The score and set design are A-Ok.
Perhaps my sole issue with this episode is its implementation of the stereotype that Middle Eastern folk are "terrorists". It gets really exhausting to see those people represented solely as criminals in media.
