After distinguishing himself by courageously neutralising a terrorist threat, troubled war veteran Police Sergeant David Budd of the Metropolitan Police's Royalty and Specialist Protection Branch (RaSP) is assigned as a principal protection officer to the home secretary, the Rt Hon Julia Montague MP. Julia is a controversial politician intent on pushing a new counterterrorism bill through Parliament which would give the security service enhanced surveillance powers. Her political ambitions make Julia a high-profile target. Dedicated to his job but concealing deep resentment of politicians following his traumas in Helmand, David's divided loyalties might make him Julia's greatest threat. (BBC)

So far a more than decent introduction to a miniseries where minimalism and realism will probably play key roles. Typically English gloominess, economical with an emphasis on great timing of scenes and fabulous casting. The introduction in the train is a first-class staged nerve-wrecking scene and it will be very interesting to see how the creators manage to sequence and script the other episodes, plus of course whether they will not screw the action scenes. Very satisfied so far.
