John Bishop and Noel Clarke, co-creators of BBC's popular show 'Bulletproof', brings viewers a thrilling new series that follows the adventures of National Crime Agency Detectives Aaron Bishop and Ronnie Pike Jr. with impeccable chemistry and unmatched courage. In the first season, Episode 1 sets the stage for these dynamic characters as they solve crime in London.

The pilot episode opens with a scene where we see police attempting to stop a stolen truck, but things go horribly wrong resulting in multiple deaths. The incident prompts NCA’s London Crime Squad to open an investigation. In the next scene, we are introduced to two undercover agents, Aaron Bishop (Noel Clarke) and Ronnie Pike Jr. (Ashley Walters), who are hot on the trail of a drug dealer. They successfully make a deal with the dealer leading to a massive bust which leads the NCA to believe they have a lead on the stolen truck culprits.

Alongside a case in progress, we are also presented with a glimpse of the lives of the two protagonists, especially their relationships with their significant others. Bishop is a single father with a turbulent past where he lost his wife, and his daughter, hoping to save her dad from society's traps, wants to follow in his footsteps. Pike is engaged to the love of his life, but their family life gets complicated when her father meddles in their wedding plans.

Back in action, the duo tackles the stolen truck case and locates the culprits with impeccable intelligence. It also leads them to uncover a night club that plays a significant role in the case. Bishop and Pike plan to infiltrate the club and gather further evidence.

The climax of the episode sees Bishop and Pike walking into the club. They split up, and fate takes them in different directions. Bishop sneaks into the management's office to have a word with the club owner and gets into a heated confrontation with the latter's son. The altercation leads to Bishop being thrown over the balcony, falling onto the dance floor, and losing consciousness. Meanwhile, Pike overhears some vital information in the DJ’s booth.

The first episode of Bulletproof is a thrilling ride that introduces us to two unbeatable and fearless agents with distinct personalities. There is no shortage of potential conflicts, as the duo solves cases while navigating their relationships' dynamics. They face danger with panache and remain unfazed even when it means putting their lives on the line. The chemistry between Bishop and Pike is fantastic, and the supporting cast also delivers. The episode moves at a swift pace, thanks to the well-written script, and ends on a cliffhanger that leaves viewers eager and excited about the finale.
