Line of Duty

[Paul]

 

I get all that but I just can't see how he could ever have got to that position in the first place. I bet he has a ready limp handshake.

Come off it! You work in social care - you've definitely worked with people whose careers are utterly bewildering. The number of senior leaders in education whose ineptitude is mind-blowing tells me shite can prosper pretty much anywhere - and that's before you throw the old Masonic nonsense into the mix.

[RedKnight]

Has the best cliffhangers around.

[Trumo]

A bit telegraphed that ending because they were using certain camera zooms and unexplained whereabouts to get the viewer to point the finger of suspicion at him from the first episode. Also, Michael Farmer's solicitor looks like a bored Bernard Ingham.

[Paul]

No way was that telegraphed. Certainly he looked dodgy, but no way was that specific ending on anyone's mind.

[Champ]

Full marks, everyone, for no spoilers. I was out last night and will be catching up with it this evening

[Elite]

Fuck...

[Rico1304]

Just watched it - fucking hell.

[Sweeney287]

Caught up this morning... Wow. Looking forward to the next one.

[RedKnight]

Fuming at Ted letting that interview go to shit and at Maneet for betraying AC12.

[Elite]

Intense episode that. I couldnt wait for thar interview to end, it was brutal.

[Paul]

Thandie Newton is fucking brilliant in this. Super cold and super capable; very convincing.

[Vincent Vega]

Best British show on the telly, the hour just flies by and you can't wait for the next episode.

[Trumo]

A lot of British dramas are described as 'gripping', but this one genuinely is unmissable stuff. That said, I'm not sure why Hastings didn't pull the old 'can only be questioned by an officer at least one rank senior' card that everyone he questions usually does. Thandie Newton is indeed doing a great job, just like Keeley Hawes did in previous years.

I was thinking that about the rank thing, but then again they kept saying that she has a legal right to defend herself and that her questions were part of that.

Also they had to request questionning her by getting some paperwork or other but she was allowed to question them with no such paperwork.

[Elite]

It has it's minor flaws but I ignore them as it's such great television.

 

Such as Arnotts overnight recovery, those injuries/fall would have left him with a traumatic head injury at the very least.

Aye ,that was totally unbelievable.

As was the earlier escape of Thandie Newton from the Forensics guy who had her pinned down and had a saw hovering over her head

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I've only watched the first series, are the rest on par or better, I wasn't blown away but I did really enjoy it.

They get better.

[Trumo]

Unmissable as always but I can't help thinking that they sped through this series a little bit. They've also had no character development for any of the 3 main characters.

[Paul]

Love how it once again tied into the other series right at the end. Series 5 will surely have to directly confront the overall conspiracy now. Brilliant telly.

[RedKnight]

Little bit worried that Ted ruled that Hilton was the 'H' in question a little too quickly.

There's no time - or need, actually - to move the characters on. It's pacy and plot driven. I think it does well to make the leads credible as officers in that context.

[Paul]

The scale of the overall conspiracy is mind-blowing. There simply has to be a Mr Big. But Hilton's gone, Tommy Hunter's gone and that retired paedo copper from series 3 is gone too.

[Paul]

Interesting that they left the murder squad DCI's photo on the wall at the end.
