Another terrorist attack raises the UK threat level to severe. Home secretary Julia Montague holds secret meetings with the director general of the security service, freezing out the police and her own minister of state for counter terrorism. As Julia's stance on national security propels her into the public eye, specialist protection officer David Budd is on high alert while being put under pressure by senior police officers to spy on Julia. However, David's natural animosity towards Julia fades as his home life becomes more difficult. When Julia becomes a target, David's loyalty to her is challenged. (BBC)

The second episode contains that famous action scene, which is the imaginary highlight. The creators grasp the action well, write the dialogue and characters well, plus gradually serve up some vague, veiled moments that can move the eventual twist in the story to the left as well as to the right. As long as it doesn't trip over its own feet with some total nonsense just to show the director making a shocking point, it could be wonderfully compact not only in its atmosphere and realistic feel, but also in its elaborate and meaningful plot.
