Line of Duty

[MrsJBaptiste]

So, I'm very late this (8 years it seems) but as all episodes are on iplayer, we've started series 1 tonight.

Everyone raves about it and says how fantastic it is and yes, episode 1 was ok but I think I was expecting more?

Does it ramp up so you're desperate to watch the whole series at once? Then is each new series better than the last? Or is it a programme that has been vastly overrated?

I know we've only seen an hour so far but with some programmes (Capture, Night Manager, Luther) I was gripped after half an hour...

I binged it before Christmas whilst recovering from surgery. By I'd say episode three I was completely hooked and binged it within a few days! In my defence I was largely in bed rest at that stage lol!

Yes. Keep going.

Thirded - keep going!

Definitely keep going.

I tried to watch it and couldn't get past the second episode. Then I had some spare time and tried again, and ended up bingeing on the lot! It gets better - series 2 is where it gets really gripping but series 1 is alright once you get past the first couple of eps.

I only discovered it at about series 3 - just tried it one evening as there was a woman on the picture on iplayer in a sea of men.
Give it a few episodes and see how you feel.

Personally, it's one of my favourite ever shows. You need to fully watch it though, can't MN at the same time as it's deep.

It just gets better and better with every series - series four is brilliant. Keep going with it!

I like series 1, think Tony Gates character and story were quite believable. Show certainly gets more far fetched later on.

Keep with it. It’s edge of your seat compelling. So many outstanding performances. I envy you having it all ahead of you!

I'd watched a few episodes on tv and wondered what all the fuss was about.

Then I watched it all from the beginning, it's brilliant.

Definitely going to keep up with it, I just didn't know if I was missing something!

The only thing I find annoying is the character Steve who is the main Scottish guy in 'The Nest' at the moment. I like him in that but can't warm to him in Line of Duty but maybe you're not meant to?

We originally watched from series 3 soo started again last week keep at it you will/should get into it series 4 is also my favourite.

I've just started it too!
I know what you mean about people saying you will be hooked etc as the first few episodes I was like hmmm not feeling it I'm on series 2 and it gets good and you will warm to Steve hehe!
Enjoy :)

Steve is teeny tiny in one I think they realised and gave him a step and kate doesn't stand right next to him

Most of us warm to Steve after a while

He is tiny! He doesn't look that small in The Nest!

Keep going, I much preferred series 2 than 1. I did warm to Steve too.

It is sooooo worth sticking with. Probably my favourite show of the past 20 years.

Keep going and you need to watch it all as with each series, things from previous series become relevant. I binged watched 4 series in 11 days last year!

It is amazing if you stick with it. Honestly. And you do have the right to be interviewed by an officer of one rank or higher!

I preferred S2 and 3 to the first series so I would definitely stick with it until then.

It's amazingly good. Keep at it.

I thought this was totally overrated, but it seems I’m in the minority. I didn’t warm to any characters and thought the acting was terrible (especially Steve!).

Mother of god

Look fella, do your duty to the letter of the law - the letter - and watch every single one

You won't regret it 🙂
