Watch a trailer for Bodyguard. After two decades of hard work, he’s now that rare thing – a writer with complete control of his shows, a recognisable dramatic shorthand that unites them, and an audience willing to follow him to the edge of their seats on a weekly basis. It’s a long way from the days of critically adored but prematurely cancelled shows such as the medical drama Bodies, which fell victim to an “idiotic” TV executive who “didn’t get it, didn’t like it and didn’t want it, despite all the evidence that was telling him something different”.
But, in those private moments, it’s when we see the obsessive compulsion, the rage, the emotional distress. We see all the things we never get to see from series of this type.
