Finally got around to watching one of the most talked about TV shows of last year. It centres around the Personal Protection Officer to the Home Secretary. The first few episodes were very exciting with some great action scenes. The later episodes concentrating more on investigating various plotlines and conspiracies. It's interesting as we get a look into how the Police, Counter Terrorism and Intelligence services work. It all feels very realistic in terms of how the various teams work for the Home Office. There are plenty of twists and turns, the tension will have you gripped to your seat. Perfect for a short tense series.

Good plot line. Writing style was decent, but not stellar. I liked the unique protagonist, and the characters were likable. While I like the fact that their recruits had a variety of backgrounds and skills, some of it wasn't believable. Some of the characters were really good at semi-common skills, but still made me wonder how they ended up with the agency.

Interesting

Decided to look this one up when I saw the show coming out. Very captivating movie. Low budget but well done. The concept isn't completely original - government attempting to create perfect soldier, etc - but was definitely told in an interesting way. The acting and cinematography were good. I would've appreciated subtitles in the scenes where other languages were spoken, but, it is what it is. Overall a decent action thriller with a unique protagonist and storyline. Worth a watch!

This novel is outstanding! It is the second in a series but works just as well as a stand-alone since the author does a great job of giving the reader all the information needed without overwhelming the story. This exciting novel is everything an action thriller should be. It is fun, exciting, riveting and interesting. I can’t wait to read the next Joe the Bouncer book which I’m certain will be a page turner you can’t put down, just like this one.
