Line of duty season 5 trailer, from the maker of Bodyguard
- Thread starter Tugatrix
- Start date
Looks good, but also very Line of Duty. To a certain extent, you've seen one series, you've seen them all.
If they're going for the "top man" in the police corruption though, maybe this'll be the final series.
Only so many series they can do because it doesn't quite reinvent itself each time.
Stephen Graham (sp?) will be aces though.

Go and watch all of Line of Duty now if you haven't already. A superior, if slower paced, show.
Problem is how i get my hands on it? I'm in Sweden. Hopefully it comes to netflix sooner or later.

it's for all europe? I only got luther and bodyguard after shows ended
1st episode is out. Absolutely fantastic to have back on the telly and an amazing twist as usual
Just watched the first episode. I was expecting a twist as the set-up is never all it seems but I actually wasn't expecting that, makes me wonder what's the deal with Lisa.
They're obviously making hints about Hastings too but I just don't see him being corrupt. It would betray everything we know about his character and need an extremely good explanation to pull off. Something's going to happen there though.

Yeah, I suspect there's something going on with him, but it's not necessarily him having been "H" all along.
There's not any senior cops from previous seasons still kicking about?

No way Hastings is corrupt. Maybe another affair? Also
pretty easy to tell she wouldn't be the mole.
I think you meant "producer" because it is pretty weird to use the word "maker" on film terminology.
Btw are you talking that Bodyguard show from Nx?

I've seen season 1-4 plus bodyguard and I think these shows are absolute shit. They do this thing, much like 24, where everything from plot to characters are sacrificed to the benefit of having constant cliffhangers and twists until the last moment of the show and it's never the sort of things that's fun or rewarding to think about and try figure out yourself, it's just layers and layers of stupidity and bad writing on top of each other.

yeah the little rascal all grown up.
I don't think H is ted but he maybe has done some wrongs in the past and is now trying to clean is wrong doings with AC-12
Yeah, but start at the beginning because if you jump straight into the new series then not only will you miss a lot of background plot and not really know WTF is going on, but you'll also miss all of the clever little callbacks.
FWIW this is about 100 times better than The Bodyguard.
Thanks for the heads up, I'm excited to start the show. :D
I thought Ted was being framed last week and now I'm convinced. Money trouble, freemason links, questionable shooting and a history of dodgy staff one of whom he's ensured died with a record clean enough for her family to be looked after which could easily be twisted. Perfect fall guy.
The clincher was him being ok with the other OCG being framed last week. Double whammy of looking like he's helping Stephen Graham's lot and an odd sort of karma coming back to bite him

Fucking hell, edge of the seat stuff. Yeah it's likely that Hastings is a red herring, but still no guarantees.
Also based upon what John Corbett said to
, last week, it's likely that he
, which falls in line with what he told Steve.
Also based upon what John Corbett said to
Maneet, before having her killed
really thought she was bent and deserved to die

Absolutely,
Making Corbett something of an unhinged vigilante happy to have corrupt officers murdered was an interesting route for the character - at the start I was expecting him to either be a straight up "honest" undercover cop or an outright corrupt, criminal one.
Also good to see Stephen Graham getting to use his own accent!

According to Google it's going to be available in May on something called Acorn TV..
I honestly thought that it was a female undercover officer.
The first two episodes have been great, but series 1-4 set high benchmarks.
I think for me personally, series in order of preference (not including 5):
Series 2
Series 4
Series 3
Series 1
Just finished the 4th season a couple of hours ago. This series is absolutely amazing. I've seen people comparing this to Luther but despite being British and related to police/investigation, there is not much else similar (I cant choose which one is better).
I hope they release the 5th season at the same time in my region.
edit. wait, what? there are 3 episodes already? gotta watch asp

I'd say no chance unless it's a double bluff. The show is rarely that telegraphed but there's obviously something yet to be revealed happening there.
The casting in this show has always been excellent, in my opinion. Graham no exception.
Up to this episode I was sure Hargreaves was the H. He isn't H but I am glad I was right at least.
The show is selling Ted to be H but in theory that would indicate that he isn't (they never do the obvious thing). I always thought Gill was a fckng bet copper so I would bet on her. Or Ted. I dont know.
What was he doing with that laptop in this episode? Any plausible non corrupt explanation?
