Line of Duty has landed on Netflix, and if you’ve never dived into Jed Mercurio’s cult-classic cop drama, now’s your chance. Spanning six seasons since 2012, it follows Superintendent Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar) and anti-corruption team AC-12 (Vicky McClure, Martin Compston) as they sniff out bent coppers and organised crime. With a stellar 96% Rotten Tomatoes score (the first four seasons even hitting 100%), critics rave about its “brutal, thrilling” storytelling and “almost perfection” in plotting and character work.
Beyond the nail-biting investigations, Line of Duty boasts an all-star guest lineup—Lennie James, Keeley Hawes, Thandiwe Newton and more—and has fuelled endless chatter over a potential Season 7 (though cast say it’s a long way off). Whether you’re in it for the meticulous writing, unforgettable villains or just top-tier police drama, head to Netflix (or catch up on BBC iPlayer) for a binge that’s still setting the gold standard.
