Sad to see that Sara Hughes the TV critic for the Guardian wrote her last review for Line of Duty on Saturday 3 April for episode 3 of series 6 (obviously TV critics see them in advance) from her hospital bed and then passed away on Monday.
The Guardian is not having a new reviewer for the rest of the series, but leaving it as an open thread for viewer comments
Daytime soap is a well known phrase but I have never heard of a daytime crime drama. Any examples?
Most shows are full of holes. I watched Unforgotten and thoroughly enjoyed it but what I found a bit unbelievable was that they found witness who had clear recollections of events 30 years ago or shops or companies that had still got 30 year old receipts and were able to find them with no trouble at all!
But such devices are common in crime dramas.You often have to suspend belief otherwise you would never watch them!
well ,yes actually.
There a document from Cambridgeshire constabulary freely available on the net which says as it's 1st paragraph
"We recognise that in policing, we tend to use many acronyms and other jargon terms. To make this easier for you to understand, we have made a jargon buster to help you identify some of our language."
There follows a long list in Alphabetical order of such jargon one of which is......

And Dunbar said he uses' Mother of God' and others because his father used to use them. Other phrases are Belfast phrases that he knows and uses. Some are from Q and A sessions wth Belfast audiences. He is of course Irish himself ( from Enniskillen) so he should know!!!!!
I think the acting in it is really good, the brummie guy who got locked up was excellent I thought.
I don't get why anyone would watch something that they dislike that much, seems madness to me.
The enjoyable thing that keeps the viewer hooked is trying to work out what's going on.
The script, dialogue and staged conversations are a bit much at times, but I do enjoy it.
24 Hours in Police Custody is on tonight for something more realistic.
OMG. Line of Duty is a paradise for acronym lovers. CHIS, AFO, ARV, ARU, MIT, TA, UCO to name but a few. WTF.
you lot need to get back to your Z cars
Well , in answer to your last point yes actually.
