#SmallScreenScenes #Britbox @BritBox_US #BBC #America BRAVO #SiobhanFinneran Protection Season One Highly Recommended by @ManhattanPeachy in North America on BritBox
The multi-talented Siobhan Finneran is absolutely stellar in the newest hit by BritBox, PROTECTION. Of course you know her from being the TOPS of below the stairs as cunning O'Brien in Downton Abbey!!! The absolute most avid readers will remember we were one of the very first to rave about this show on this side of the pond. Equally impressive is Katherine Kelly who is darker than ever in her full glory we first saw in Mr. Selfridge! Protection is a highly underrated cop show that is just as good if not better than the ones produced in this country.
When witness protection officer, Liz, hears there's been a shooting at a safe house, she has a lot of questions to answer, including why another officer - who she was having an affair with - was at the crime scene too.
Synopsis:
Liz Nyles is a witness protection officer in charge of looking after Jimmy, Helen and Amy McLennan in their assigned safe house. Jimmy has been offered witness protection for testifying against Edward Crowther, an untouchable crime boss who’s finally being tried for murder. Liz is shocked when she hears there’s been a shooting at the safe house and her key witness Jimmy has been shot. But worse, her colleague DS Paul Brandice, with whom she’s been having a secret affair, was also at the house and has been shot too. Brandice had not been working on the case, there is no reason for him to be involved, so why was he at the address?
