f**king Jimmy Nesbitt about to show up too.

Exactly my thinking. Better not ruin it :o

Am I the only one who hasnt seen a second of Line of Duty?
We hadn't watched any, and started with Series One last week. We're watching 2 per night at the minute and enjoying it.

It's not going to win any Emmy's or Golden Globes but it's entertaining viewing!

Apparently we're not allowed to enjoy TV made here should be catching up on the latest Scandi Noir to keep the snobs in the thread happy!

The wife watches it religiously. I haven't watched any of it.

It's an absolute load of cliché ridden, poorly written and, at times, terribly acted pile of w**k. Hastings is basically written as a parody of himself these days with his catchphrases popping up multiple times every episode. Don't understand the hype about Mercurio as a writer at all. Bodyguard was shite too. The Wire this most certainly is not. Stephen Graham was the best thing by a mile about the show through its run to date, followed by Thandie Newtown and Keeley Hawes. Kelly MacDonald is crap.

None of which prevents it from being a massively entertaining, gripping and frequently nail-biting show.

Watched the first episode of Mare of Easttown and it looks very promising and will cover a range of issues affecting middle America. . . Having watched Line of Duty and Bloodlands recently it's like going from the Vauxhall conference to the Premier League in terms of acting Kate Winslet is is one of the best!

LOD last night.

After last two episodes, it felt a bit slower paced. First 15 minutes I was asking "why the hell are they on the run?" Did Kate want to get more information from Jo and felt she'd a better chance gaining her trust further? Seemed like was a part missing!

Interview very good. Carmichael very unlikeable. I don't think she is a bent copper but takes authority to its word and is following Osbornes brief to the last. Maybe even she has one eye on him and is playing both sides.

James Nesbitt a red herring?

Lot to be sorted next week.

Has it been confirmed if there is another season?

<Spoiler alert>

I thought this was the last season?

One theory I read was Nesbitt was who Davidson thought was her da. I think that Davidson will have an attempt on her life and it will be unsuccessful and she will have a major part to play.

Not sure on Carmichael yet.

I wonder how much money Nesbitt got for his picture being shown up a good few times lol.
