I tried to break it down, how did I got drawn into the story? Apart from the biographical element. The journey, from just being all you know to becoming what you want and learning as you go.
Fascinated by the smallest detail of the main character's ignorance of a world outside her culture - the busiest, most cosmopolitan world just one little block away in NYC. How is such a state possible?
I learned so much. I liked all the characters despite their flaws, but their struggles are universal. The demands of family expectations are the universal in any society. In the context of this series, to break away from all you know for an unknown betterment is explored through an enchanting lead.
It's slow and involved, best watched alone. Don't miss a single scene.

Growing up with the cops & robbers classic TV series of the 70's - The Sweeney, The Professionals & Starsky & Hutch etc, I was never a massive fan of the duo format except for liking the characters enough to watch. I never followed a storyline, too much testosterone. This time around, Bulletproof came recommended by word of mouth. I dismissed it out of hand, until I was assured the banter between Pike & Bishop was worth it. I trust the previous work of Noel Clarke & Ashley Walters so went in.
What a treat. Sometimes you just want entertainment with an edge. Bulletproof is hardcore police work interspersed with personal day to day issues we can all relate to. The chemistry between Pike & Bish' jumps right off the screen. By episode 3, I had become fully invested. Their relationships with colleagues was plausible. I decided I would watch those bits and ignore the gratifying shoot 'em up scenes. Well, that didn't last I couldn't tear myself away!
The storylines had me gripped and the series became a white knuckle ride. Mostly because the maverick nature of these characters meant the plot twists caught me off guard at every turn. That is not easy with me.
Series 2 followed right behind the last episode - like a good book you can't put down. This excelled supplying high octane action with women in pivotal roles balanced by the the necessary misogyny in such shows, the love interests and round up of some of the crime stories - which we all like to see.
Only negative? Every time Bish' came running around the corner or with his pants down I half expect to see Kano (😉).
The writing is excellent as is the script. Nothing cheesy. Less forensic thankfully!!! Clarke & Walters are a force to be reckoned with. Big tick.

The main protagonist was easy on the eye. Let's get that out of the way.
I was thrown into this romance. But just like any whirlwind romance the mysterious love affair asked as many questions as it answered along the way. An emotional journey as in real life. Do you really ever know someone?
Clever. Every twist was plausible. But did I want to believe? Because he was so handsome, I did.
Very cleverly told.
