Well I've finally caught up with the rest of the UK and watched the finale. Gutted. I was so excited to settle down to immerse myself in it after binge- watching the other five since last Sunday evening.
I was expecting twists and turns and to almost break my husbands hand off like I did during the pilot. Well the credits rolled and his fingers were still intact and we both said "oh..."
The acting, let's face it, was bloody awful from more than one member of the cast. It was only saved by Richard Madden who is consistently brilliant - thank God. For all the big British stars I could count (including two from Jamestown and one from In The Line of Duty) I was expecting more. I wanted fireworks (bombs and bullets would have sufficed) I wanted a character assisination and more importantly, I wanted to be left gripped for another season. Instead I got a load of loose ends tied quickly into a pretty bow and some, frankly, unbelievable character traits that had nothing to do with anything they had promised in earlier episodes.
Oh Bodyguard, you promised so much and your writers let you down. It peaked mid season and limped home - shame.
