8x why you should watch The Bodyguard NOW

I started on the plane while taxiing. Not perhaps the best location to watch a narrowly averted bombing, but I was completely into it. So much so that I'm almost bummed that I have a dinner tonight and can't eat through it. last episode The Bodyguard, I am completely captivated.

1. The direction

It is so wonderfully directed. Most series use suspense; as a viewer, you see more or earlier something than the main characters. With The Bodyguard, that's not the case. The camera often pans to something and you see that the main character sees it, but you just don't see it, although you see enough to understand it. It makes it very vivid and exciting.

2. The sex scenes

They are so different. So refined. That first kiss. You have to see it, but it's insane.

3. Empowered

Women with corner offices. The head of police is a woman, the minister of the interior is a woman, the colleague of the bodyguard is a woman. And it's not mentioned. Because it's normal.

4. Multiracial

Dark-skinned people are not typecast. An Indian detective, an African-American investigator. Because it's normal.

5. No music

The Bodyguard does not use music to create suspense. They don't need it at all.

6. Age

Hooray. Another older woman who is allowed to have sex.

7. The storyline

So clever and exciting and current.

8. But only six episodes

Also nice sometimes. A manageable amount. Although I've heard that there is a season 2 coming and I'm actually looking forward to that.
