Line of Duty

Yes, the final episode of series six of "Line of Duty" was, in a way, disappointing, because we didn't really get all the answers and we didn't get "justice" for everyone. "Chicago P. D." it's not.

What we got was something much closer to reality, the real world, as sad as that may be.

Since "Children of the North" I'll give anything that Adrian Dunbar appears in a chance. Ted Hastings is a truly memorable character, perfectly realised, but everybody connected with "Line of Duty" deserves a standing ovation.

This is a review of both Season 1 & 2 of this wonderful British series. Although there is a different story line in each of the seasons, there is some continuity in the important characters: the actors Martin Compston, Adrian Dunbar and Vicki McClure, among others, appear in both seasons as the same characters. The story in each season deals with a conflict within a police department between the regular forces and the internal affairs or "anti-corruption" unit. Thematically, it is concerned with the moral ambiguities that arise when policemen investigate their own. I think this is one of the best British police procedurals that I have seen. The acting and the writing are uniformly excellent, and I hope it comes back for a third season.

Laid up with my back issues, this series had me riveted and I watched all six seasons in 4 days. I consider this the UK answer to Breaking Bad. Excellent televsion entertainment from all angles: Amazing performances, writing, story, the works! Totally credible!

Complex AF but left no untidy loose ends when it wrapped up. Who could ask for more?

I can. More of this caliber please?

Being fan of British TV, i was hooked and couldn't stop this series. Has everything. Plot, dark and right timing. Great TV. The characters are natural and great acting from all of them. The suspense comes at right levels each episode and there is no way to stop until you find what will come next.

There are some very ... i don't know the right word(not with the bad meaning) with "The Wire". The characters are almost real like the classic good British TV.

The atmosphere is not annoying dark and the lines between "Right and Wrong" are not clear, (like real life).

Absolutely RECOMMENDED...

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!
