molshoop September 9, 2017 Share September 9, 2017 This is one of the best series I've ever seen on TV. And yet, I don't like any of the three leads. Lennie James (Season 1), Keeley Hawes ( Season 2) and Thandie Newton (Season 3) were the real stars of the show, giving brilliant performances. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61204-line-of-duty-general-discussion/#findComment-3623325
tkc September 10, 2017 Share September 10, 2017 I do like the three leads, but I agree with you that the three actors you've mentioned have been wonderful. I'm in the middle of watching S4 right now (Thandie Newton's series). At this point, I think Keeley Hawes has been the best of the three, but that's no slight on the other two. 2 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61204-line-of-duty-general-discussion/#findComment-3625015

I only started watching in S4, and was half hoping that the suspect would get away with it, solely because of the (IMO) smugness of the lead characters! Might have felt differently if I'd watched the previous seasons first - only picked up on this one because I like Lee Ingleby. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61204-line-of-duty-general-discussion/#findComment-3625160

LakeGal October 14, 2017 Share October 14, 2017 We finished watching season 4 today. I love this series. They really do cast great villains. The writing and the acting is great. Thandie Newton was intriguing. I don't want to say too much and give away the outcome to anyone that hasn't watched it yet. But I kept changing my mind who balaclava man was. I was suspecting everyone of wrong-doing. I certainly hope they have a season 5. 1 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61204-line-of-duty-general-discussion/#findComment-3720964
tkc October 14, 2017 Share October 14, 2017 From what I've read, there is a commitment to a series 5 and a series 6, but production won't begin until 2018. The prediction is that we won't see new episodes possibly until early 2019. In the meantime, showrunner Jed Mercurio is working with Keeley Hawes on a different show. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61204-line-of-duty-general-discussion/#findComment-3721802

palmaire April 22, 2019 Share April 22, 2019 Ahem. I rewatched the series this past week and got so annoyed with Kate and her crappy undercover work! All she did in every office was stare suspiciously at people and ask intrusive questions that made her stand out like the snitch she was. Most of her supervisors immediately picked up that something was off and tried to get rid of her. Even after binging, I still didn't catch if Kate is still living in her car or not. And did she reveal her dire financial condition to her superiors in accordance with professional conduct section 238[d](1)? Those fucking prison matrons made me angry all over again. Lindsay being a venomous snake doesn't make it okay. Sorry, but Steve is too short and Charlie Brown-ish to be the suave ladies man the show would like us to believe he is. 2 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61204-line-of-duty-general-discussion/#findComment-5229102

MakeMeLaugh May 20, 2019 Share May 20, 2019 Just finished the last episode. Which was ridiculous with the nonstop interrogation of the arrestee, the same thing (document 69, page 20, paragraph 3, blah blah blah). We get it, painstaking work, but omg I was falling asleep. Needed a lot more cuts with Steve and Kate racing around at the same time to get statements and evidence from random witnesses. Really weak compared with the first 5 episodes, and imo this whole season was really weak compared to the previous ones. Not enough of a story so it kept going in circles imo. Still worth watching.

Superpole2000 June 5, 2019 Share June 5, 2019 The finale of Season 5 was poor. Too much screen time was spent interviewing Hastings (I actually dozed off once or twice), who we all knew wasn't going to be the real catch, while the work to nail the actual criminal went on mostly off screen. But what annoyed me the most was the return to Dot's dying declaration video. While he had a giant fatal wound in his chest, apparently he was tapping out messages in Morse code? Get real. That's so incredibly implausible, and now they're going to build an entire sixth season off of that ridiculous premise. And all of the non-case stuff like Steve's back injury and Kate's relationship problems didn't go anywhere. I still want to see Season 6, but I felt like Season 5 was the show's low point so far. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/61204-line-of-duty-general-discussion/#findComment-5350248
