Watchseries; This is a brilliant series. It is what I expect from the BBC, rather than the dreg they've been commissioning lately. The writing is tight and unrelenting in keeping upping the ante. It is complex, that is, we have great character arcs, as well as story arcs. The casting is so sublime that you would have to restrain yourself meeting those villains on the street and let's face it, drama is most often successful due to great villains. Shows like this, the tunnel, undercover, etc., make it nearly impossible to watch network TV in Amerika, where it is the same thing over and over again. The conclusion and arrest is telegraphed usually in the 1st five minutes. Kudos, and I don't give these freely, to the team that created this show. I look forward to more with baited breath. Bravo

Line of Duty watchseries. Probably too well done to be a smash hit. But this is surely the best detective show ever produced. The incredible twists and turns in the plot line will keep you glued to your screen. Absolutely brilliant script writing supported by perfect casting and acting.Simply, as good as it gets.

Can't believe it hasn't had more awards or recognition. Every series is as good as the last. Blows the likes of The Bodyguard and Killing Eve out the water. The acting is so much better with Keeley Hawes (good in The Bodyguard but brilliant in this), Vicky McClure, and Thandie Newton (series 4) all particularly magnificent. Can't wait for series 6!

Line of duty is an exceptional police drama. My parents first found it on BBC2 which I find unusual by the fact that it is hidden amongst a less popular channel. Furthermore, the acting is brilliant and you'll be on the edge of your seat at the end of every episode - it is indeed one of the best police series I have watched yet. I suppose it could be down to the fact that it is very unique, in which the producers have found a huge gap within the crime genre of focusing upon AC12 which is an anti-corruption unit. This means that the entire series one and two focus upon entirely different story lines but withholds the same cast in both the first and second series. All I can say is it is a must-see and you will be hooked from the first episode - and I cannot wait till the third season!

I have been a huge fan of this show since season one and it's a rare feet when seasons 2 and 3 surpass the quality of the first. It draws you in and keeps you gripped never failing to end each episode on a cliffhanger which makes you desperate to see the next instalment. The cast is UK A list Aidrian DUnbar, Vicky Mclure, Martin Compson and Keely Hawes who gives the performance of her career in seasons 2 and 3. I'm not one to give plots away, but if your a fan of quality crime drama or Nordic noir I cannot recommend this show highly enough. Just one note of caution if your planning DVD series binge then expect some late nights!

I am a crime story lover and by far this is the best (even better than scandi crime Bridges and killing)I have ever seen. The characters are complex and specially Tandi N in series 3, is the most clever criminal police woman ever! I cant say enough to justify watching this best of the British film making, so 100% try
