When he’s assigned to protect an important politician whose politics he can’t stand, he grapples with his beliefs and her ability to help his family.
“Line of Duty” creator Jed Mercurio is at it again with this extremely suspenseful six-part limited series that was Emmy-nominated and won two Golden Globes. Richard Madden plays David Budd, a police sergeant suffering from PTSD after his time in the military. When he’s assigned to protect an important politician whose politics he can’t stand, he grapples with his beliefs and her ability to help his family. Though we do get to know Budd’s family and personal issues, this is a dead-serious look at contemporary issues of terrorism and British politics, so be forewarned.
