An undergrad takes part in a time-traveling program. Mirai ends up stuck in 1864 when she loses her way back to the present. She poses as a man to make her survival easier, and gets hired to be a bodyguard for a tea mistress. She tries to learn to fit in, but isn't very successful. Then she has a run-in with someone that she used to know.
  
Carstairs sends Mrs. Pollifax off to meet a defecting Russian agent for her second case. However, soon her bodyguard is killed and she is in a race across Turkey to get herself and the agent out alive. Just as much danger, suspense, and fun as the first in the series.

Ryan and Samuels are awesome in this movie. (0 more)
The Hitmans Bodyguard
Ryan is very good at being a funy guy but when you combine the funny element with Mr S L Jackson you get a combination where it increase the fun to the extreme. The movie has some great fighting scenes and sometimes you think your watching a Bond movie with all the running and car chases. But this has to be one of my fav movies of 2017. Worth a watch.

Artemis goes on one last sneaky excursion after getting his father back but a world of things go wrong including his bodyguard getting shot. I couldn't believe the quick thinking Artemis took to save his friend and how he got revenge on those who wronged him. Maybe he'll think better than to make something as powerful as the eternity code in combination with technology that's ahead of the Mud people's time in the future. The 3rd book was definitely action packed.

Plenty of twists
Interesting cop drama
After recently watching Bodyguard I'd thought I'd check this out as it was written by the same person. I've heard great reviews about this for a while, good to see all 4 series available on Netflix. This is a short 5 episode series that mainly follows the Police anti-corruption team. There are plenty of twists and action along the way as the stakes get higher. If you have missed it so far check it out.
