Line of Duty fans - new recommendations please!

[Smillar2020]

Loved Line of Duty, Bodyguard, Suits, Homeland, The Nest, Dirty John. I don’t like anything too brutal or creepy! Any recommendations?!

Happy Valley?

I've just started watching The Shield on Sky, the whole box set from the start in on catch up really enjoying it so far. Its about a corrupt police unit in America, very fast paced like Line of Duty, it reminds me a bit of Sons of Anarchy.

The Wire is really good as well.

Happy Valley is ace.

Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes are both on Netflix at the moment.

We’re watching Bosch on Prime and it’s really good. Think there are about 6 seasons.

We're watching old series of Our Girl on iplayer. The more recent series are better imho but they're all watchable.

I second The Shield! I watched it when I was a student, absolutely loved it. I seem to remember it's written by the same people as Sons of Anarchy, that's probably why it reminds you of it, @MrsDoylesTeaBags. The characters are difficult to like to begin with, but once you start to see the nuances it draws you in. I'm off to try to find a box set, this has reminded me how good it is!

Unforgotten, happy valley

Unforgotten is just brilliant.
I thought happy valley was very good big tough going.

Just looked up The Shield - sounds awesome! But I don’t have Sky box sets ☹️

Spooks!! On BBC1 iPlayer, it’s bloody excellent!!!

Happy valley is the best!!

Spooks in brilliant

The Bridge (the danish/Swedish version) is one of the best things that’s ever been on TV

Unbelievable on Netflix.

What have you got access to,

Got Netflix and Sky Entertainment package - box sets apparently not included! Have iPlayer etc too

Good shout on Spooks although I remember some people telling me they are still haunted by some of the episodes even 18 years on - a deep fat fryer rings a bell!

We are watching Spooks and Hustle from the start again.

Unforgotten is on Netflix, all 3 series

DCI Banks on ITV hub

The Stranger on Netflix was good
Marcella was on Netflix, not sure if it still is

Unforgotten is great - I think first 2 series are on Netflix - I had to buy series 3 and that was only 3 weeks ago.

Happy Valley is brilliant. Richard Norton is amazing. And I think Sarah Lancashire plays against type.

Am just working my way through Spooks - love that Nicola Walker is in it!

The Stranger on Netflix is very watchable if a bit far fetched.

Last Tango in Halifax was good, I think it is on iPlayer.

Yes to all the above. I'm watching new ITV offering Van der Valk. It's pretty dire but I've started so I'll finish. Wouldn't do it twice though.

Bodies is available on iPlayer, written by Jed Mercurio same as Line of Duty but about a firm of Obstetricians /Gynaecologists. Really good but can be upsetting at times.

Safe on Netflix. Just binge watched it. No plot line left unfinished and an unexpected ending.

Also Criminal UK on Netflix is very good. It’s purely set in a police interview room (and the room next door) so if you enjoy those long set pieces in LoD, you’d enjoy it
