Scott Bryan BBC.com It's absolutely a must watch. It really builds up incrementally. Blinding, I loved it. Jul 15, 2020 Full Review Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter Line of Duty really leans into the four seasons that came before it and more connections than ever will be made. If you're thinking those connections are corrupt, yes, that's a good start. May 13, 2019 Full Review Mike Hale New York Times It's not good for you, but it will definitely give you a buzz. May 13, 2019 Full Review Abbie Bernstein Assignment X Line of Duty is probably a bit freer than an American version might be to explore other, more Byzantine abuses of police power. It does this in thrilling fashion, season to season, episode to episode, and even scene by scene. Aug 11, 2020 Full Review Lynden Barber Limelight Some might call this a formula but it's better recognised as a well-tuned sense of dramatic structure and dynamics. May 18, 2020 Full Review Kaila Hale-Stern The Mary Sue The show can be totally over-the-top, but it's also compellingly watchable and often thrilling, a masterpiece of misdirection that keeps you guessing.

Han T Sorry tedious and unrealistic; the high score is a complete mystery. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/23 Full Review Anita F Great series. So intriguing and entertaining. I appreciate that it has a minimal amount of vulgar language. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Enjoyed this a lot, but the constant calling the boss ‘Gaffa' got really bloody irritating! Hadn't been such a thing in previous seasons. Anyway… We all knew Gill showing up again would spell trouble! This is a good season, but there were too many obvious plot developments to hold it up as high as previous seasons Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Great series. I'm disappointed to see Kate Fleming get DI promotion over Arnott. She has been well off the mark and unprofessionally jealous and off-team player season after season. He is always doggedly insightful and ultimately points AC-12 in the right direction. The writing, production and acting are superior to any similar series Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Brilliant drama. Stephen Graham knocked it out of the park! Intense and captivating. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member My wife and I just finished watching all 5 seasons.We loved it.Had to be vigilant or you could miss something Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
