"Bodyguard" is the new BBC drama/thriller now available on Netflix that everybody has been talking about ever since it first aired in August on BBC One. Here are five reasons why you should check it out.
Richard Madden in a lead role
The Scottish actor might be best known for his role as Robb Stark in "Game of Thrones," but it was through his portrayal of police protection officer David Budd in "Bodyguard" that he showed just how good an actor he really is.

"Bodyguard" is already a huge hit in the U.K.
The series first aired in August on BBC One and it became an instant sensation, with the final episode garnering more than 17.1 million viewers.

The mind-blowing opening scene
That twenty-minute opening scene was insane and definitely one of the most nail-biting opening scenes I've ever seen.
Just finished #Bodyguard on #netflix if you are looking for a intense taut political thriller like 24, this is the show for you! Only six hours, but literally no filler... Excellent performances by leads @maddenrichard #keeleyhawes #ashtandon #ninatouissantwhite and #GinaMcKee pic.twitter.com/UeiwZ9s0DI
