Growing up, Bishop and Pike had very different lives. Pike's dad was the first black police commissioner and the son grew up always trying to live up to expectations, while Bishop grew up looking for a father figure as he was passed around foster homes, moving from school to school. Bulletproof will put their friendship to the test for the first time. Bulletproof follows two cops, Bishop and Pike, as they chase down hardened criminals in London's East End. On the surface Bishop and Pike have a lot in common they are cool, smart, unapologetically street-wise and tough; they share a deep, fraternal relationship - and are always there for each other. However, they come from very different backgrounds and their personal motivations and emotional lives outside the police force differ as a result: Pike is an aspirational family man, the son of a decorated police officer who's determined to follow in his father's footsteps, but not be in his shadow. Bishop grew up in care homes and on the streets, and never knew his father. Despite these differences Bishop and Pike are bonded by the same moral code and work brilliantly well together even when the chemistry between them looks set to explode. Think of it as a 6 episode rehash of Love's awful Sweeney remake. Same basic car chases, same badly drawn characters.<br/><br/>Absolutely nothing to recommend it. It's a shame that people are not patient enough to give a new show a chance before slating it….. it's been a slow burner but well worth the wait, there's action, suspense & a solid plot line….. are the actors worthy of an Oscar nomination, no but they're more than capable of keeping your attention throughout…..please don't be swayed by early reviews, take a chance with this as it's a fresh show that's defenatly worth a gander
