10 Movie and TV Picks for October8 of 10
"Bodyguard" | Premieres on Netflix Wednesday, Oct. 24
A reliable Irishman who alerts me to the best of the BBC just informed me about this crime thriller that is coming to the US courtesy of fine-goods importer Netflix. Former King in the North Richard Madden stars as a war vet who takes an assignment as the Specialist Protection Officer for Home Secretary Julia Montague, played by seasoned TV star Keeley Hawes. In the UK, some 11 million people just watched the 6-episode series wrap up, and I love the fact that the show's fantastically named creator, Jed Mercurio, isn't 100% sold on the idea of a second season. — Arno
