Breakout new BBC One drama Bodyguard is headed to Netflix. The streaming network will carry the terror thriller starring Game of Thrones’ Richard Madden and Line of Duty’s Keeley Hawes outside of the UK and Ireland (and China where Netflix is not available). The series’ Netflix premiere is set for October 24.

...Set in and around the corridors of power, Bodyguard tells the fictional story of David Budd (Madden), a heroic but volatile war veteran now working as a Specialist Protection Officer for the Royalty and Specialist Branch (RasP) of London’s Metropolitan Police Service. When he is assigned to protect the ambitious and powerful Home Secretary Julia Montague (Hawes), Budd finds himself torn between his duty and his beliefs. Responsible for her safety, could he become her biggest threat?

According to the article it's gotten huge ratings over in the UK. Some of Netflix's best "originals" are the exclusives they get from the UK, so it's probably worth checking out.

I finished the series tonight. All I can say is wow. This show is the most successful new show the BBC has had in over a decade and I can see why.

Richard Madden was really good in this. Showed some real chops.

I’m excited to watch it again once it is out on Netflix.

It's blowing up the ratings in the UK. The finale's overnight ratings were as high as anything in the last 10 years outside of England playing in the World Cup .

The BBC drama “Bodyguard” bowed out on a high Sunday with 11 million viewers at its peak on BBC One, for a whopping 47.9% audience share. The six-part series, which Netflix is about to launch globally, is Britain’s most popular drama since “Downton Abbey.”

Yes, Ep 6 was the finale.

I loved that it was a short series. No time for fluff or fillers. Really great series.
