## Synopsis

Bulletproof (2018-2021) is a British police action comedy series created by Noel Clarke for Sky One. Noel Clarke plays Bishop and Ashley Walters plays Pike, two police officers who are best mates bonded by the same moral code despite their differences. Their partnership drives the show, as they chase criminals, uncover conspiracies and confront ghosts from their own past, while their working lives strain their friendships and the people around them. Lindsey Coulson appears as Sarah Tanner, and the wider ensemble includes Lashana Lynch and Mandeep Dhillon. Across three seasons and seventeen episodes of roughly forty-five minutes each, the series moves between standalone cases and a continuing thread of corruption and buried history. Its atmosphere mixes brisk action set pieces with irreverent banter and moments of real emotion, giving it a warm, sardonic register. Set in contemporary London, the series is a crime drama with the tonal energy of a buddy comedy, and fans of Line of Duty, Luther and Hot Fuzz will find resonance in its blend of cop-show grit and playful friendship.
