I was completely gripped by this to start off with - exciting scenes, well written and acted, expertly staged. It had a lovely British feel with its research and acknowledgement of procedure. It doesn't reinvent any wheel - terrorists are Arabs or rogue ex soldiers, bodyguards are hot and devoted and tormented. There is enough twists to keep it fresh - there are several women in positions of power including the Minister.
The last ep or two this goes off the rails. The bomb detonation section in particular dragged because you know the guy was going to live (if he'd lived maybe it would have been worth it). I appreciate the twist of killing off the Minister but you do miss her at the end for the emotional stakes.
