Line of Duty - Series 5
Tonight on BBC One at 9pm
Line of Duty has been around for quite a few years now, but they are airing a new series (five) tonight. Who else is watching?
In case anyone hasn't seen it before, Line of Duty is a police investigation-type show which focuses on anti-corruption of police officers.
This series, however, they are focusing on a gang (aka Balaclava Men) which was revealed at the end of series 4. This consists of a network of criminals and corrupt police offers.
Give it a watch tonight and see what you think. Although it helps to see the past series, it's not really necessary
EDIT: >Trailer<
Important
Spoilers may be posted in this thread, but they should be in spoiler tags (including past series), e.g:
Code:
[spoiler]
Martin Compston is actually Scottish!
[/spoiler]
Although not a rule, this prevents ruining episodes for people who may not have watched it yet
Great show.
I'm probably gonna wait until all the eps of the series are out so I can binge it.
Series 5?! Get in. Absolutely loved this show, its indepth but also quite a good watch.
For anyone wondering (who isn't in the UK) series 1-4 is on Netflix, due to the nature of the show you really do have you start at series 1 just due to the overarching narratives, otherwise in later series you might miss big drops that are majorly important to the whole narrative.
Due to each series linking in its well worth a watch of all, even if its a time investment. Its worth it.

Spoiler Alert: This contains quite a few spoilers, its meant really for those who've watched Series 1-4 so far, or have good grasp of it. Do not read if you are wanting to watch LOD.
I did, Maneet was corrupt in AC-12 at much the same time if not later than Dot Cotton, she supplied information to ACC Hilton and possibly a few others, had connections to bent police officers and kept trying to pin it on others, she got Jamie kicked out of AC-12 by using his login info under false pretences who later turned out to be corrupt as well.
(As well, if you pay CLOSE attention, she's killed in the same place as the Social Worker from Series 3 and also ACC Hilton at the end of Series 4)
Having links to the gangs were much the downfall of many in LOD, Hilton, Denton, Gates are just the biggest ones. I think the only one who wasn't connected to the overarching Gangs was Danny Waldron, at least not in S3 that we were subjected to.
In S4 Roz Huntley was slightly connected, however I couldn't desern any major things
