When I first started watching this series, I thought it was ok but nothing brilliant. I kept watching and episode by episode kept getting better and better! I was hooked! I have literally been binge watching all 4 seasons in the matter of a week! The high point at the time of writing this review ( I've just started season 4) was the final episode of series 3! Absolutely Brilliant!

Line of Duty just keeps getting better... we are up to Season 4 on Netflix, but Seasons 5 & 6 are coming. In fact, we are re-watching Season 4, intrigued by the many twists and turns we forgot. The case involves a serial attacker and a DCI (female) Huntley who is tasked with investigating a case of a young girl who was nabbed, and tied up in a flat that was set on fire. The occupant of the flat is a young dim witted guy who doesn't drive and can barely speak. Yet, he is later picked up at work and grilled for the crimes (as if abducting a girl, chaining her up in your home, and setting it on fire is typical stuff you do before reporting for your 10 o'clock shift).Because charges are laid against this poor loser, even when more exculpatory evidence emerges, the Anti-Corruption Squad (AC-12) are called in to review the whole process. They are headed by a Superintendent Hastings, played masterfully by Adrian Dunbar, a superb Irish character actor. Dunbar is so convincing that I frequently say that if I was being framed for a felony, I would want him there to dig out the truth. Now, that's acting. Lee Ingleby (of 'Inspector Gently' fame, playing Gently's troubled assistant) also shines as the spouse of a senior officer.There are several twists & turns, right up to the end. No bad language, no skin. Just a fabulous ensemble performance, and an excellent script.Getting ready to re-watch first seasons... c mon, Netflix: get Seasons 5 & 6 on board here in Canada.p.s. my first version review was labelled SUPERMODELS instead of a 'super model to follow'. All fixed now. Tnx, IMDb.

Another British Drama that shines like a star. I think, although in terms of genre, it is Crime Drama , it's very similar to the magnificent "Wire" They go in different directions, but still provide the same scale of quality. If we've never seen it, you're in luck. You can binge on the series. You will not be disappointed, wonderfully crafted and acted 9/10

First of all, the acting was superb, but the story-line was hard to follow at times.Season One had early promise but after watching it I decided that it just wasn't for me. (SPOILER ALERT):* A seasoned cop can't find a way to dispose of a wine glass? Smash and bury, throw in any number of dumpsters in a giant city, or find another location in the river. * Isn't even a person with innocent, child-like qualities going to show police the dead, chopped up, body in their freezer?* No convictions? At the end of season one, the crime boss walks? Can you imagine tuning into an entire season of LAW AND ORDER, CSI, or NCIS, if the bad guys prevailed every time?If this series a political statement or designed for entertainment? if the former, tell us it is a true story. If the latter, make it more positive.If the series is fictional, why does the epilogue to season one have to be so depressing?I won't be giving season two a chance. I'll stick to quality shows like BLUE BLOODS!
