One of the best BBC police dramas Line of Duty, that's "brutal", "thrilling" and "almost perfection" is now on Netflix

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.
