Hit BBC drama Bodyguard has been added to Netflix in the UK so if you haven't seen it, now is your chance to catch up on one of the best shows of 2018

In case you missed it, it was one of the most talked about shows of 2018

Our American cousins have been lording it over us for a while now but Bodyguard has finally been added to Netflix in the UK.

When Bodyguard aired on BBC in August last year, users of Netflix US didn’t have to wait long to get the full season, with all six episodes arriving in October.

However, we were made to wait in limbo, completely unsure if the hit show would ever arrive on the streaming service for costumers on this side of the pond.

But wait no longer…

In case you have been in the dark about one of the most thrilling (and, lets admit it, one of the sexiest) shows of last year, it involves David Budd (Richard Madden – Game Of Thrones, Cinderella), a heroic, but volatile war veteran now working as a Specialist Protection Officer for London’s Metropolitan Police Service.

When he is assigned to protect the ambitious Home Secretary Julia Montague (Keeley Hawes – The Missing, High-Rise), Budd finds himself torn between his duty and his beliefs.

There are double-crosses, triple-crosses, quadruple-crosses, and lots of long lingering glances across important meeting rooms.

Here is the Netflix US trailer for the show (so ignore that date at the end of it!):
