Line of Duty: Series 1 (DVD), Acorn, Mystery & Suspense

As you move through the five episodes, your opinion of Detective Chief Inspector Tony Gates will change sharply and without warning: is he the keeper of justice and reason the streets are safer or an arrogant cop superstar, or both... This is the role of Lennie James career. There are no one-dimensional or stereotypes here. Every character has major flaws but some also have an unerring sense of right. Gina McKee brings a bit of the MI-5 intrigue to the story as well with a richly-variegated character.

A gritty, believable, good vs `evil in the ranks` police drama taken to new heights. Superior writing, great, often chilling, performances. Suspenseful to the max - not for the weak hearted. A well developed story, environment, and set of characters, many thoroughly chilling. The type of drama that the Brits do so well. Is the ending expected? Well, that depends on how cynical you are.
