Anyone else watching this? And done so from series 1?
It just gets better and better. My jaw actually dropped tonight at the climax of this week's episode (series 3 episode 5/6). I uttered a rather loud "**** me" too. Hopefully not disturbing my host, who had already turned in.
For those who are watching Line of Duty I'm probably preaching to the converted, but those who aren't, you really are missing the best British television drama/police procedural in many a year.
Visceral, intriguing, twisty-turny. It has all the elements of a classic whodunnit. But so much more. Whydunnit too is just as important. And watching it you constantly question yourself as to who are the good folk and who are the bad. The writing is so brilliant that every twist, every curve-ball, is fully believable and not just in the plot for sensationalism.
The characters are rounded and nuanced. And the actors portraying them are on top form. As for the writer - Jed Mercurio - genius.
This BBC series alone is worth the licence fee.
Now, I've raved here about the programme without spoilers. Any follow ups should do likewise I think, at least until next week's series 3 finale. All I will say though are two things. I never expected THAT former BBC radio DJ to feature in the storyline. And that Detective Inspector Cottan - what a b*****d.
