Bodyguard is "fantastic right up until the point it isn't"

Vulture

The BBC original thriller that premiered on Netflix this week "is a remarkable show, slick and tense and fun, running at an impossibly fast pace and somehow managing to pull it off," says Kathryn VanArendonk. But there's a big moment that hurts the entire series. "What a disappointment!" she says, adding: "It’s a failed opportunity, and the result is a story that offers tantalizing threads of complexity, only to cut them all off right as they start combining into something truly innovative."
