'Line of Duty' attracts record 9.6m viewers

[Elwood Blues]

I think you mean Unforgotten, but yes, way better in my view. It was much more understated, less self-conscious, more realistic and plausible, better acted - and yet here's the thing - it was more dramatic, exciting and surprising than all those gun fights in the streets, murders, killings, kidnappings, that were happening what seemed like every day in LOD.

Sorry, Unforgiven was a, very good, Clint Eastwood wasn’t it?

I binge watched it yesterday (there wasn’t much else I could do in that weather) and I suppose the fact I stuck with it says something, but that was partly down to a feeling that it had to get better, yet, if anything, it got worse and I’m sure the last episode would have been universally panned if the programme wasn’t so high profile. By the end, I thought Hastings was veering into self parody and, as has been mentioned before, the “alright mate” conversations between the other two main characters were becoming jarring as far as I was concerned. A few weeks ago on here I said I slightly preferred Unforgiven to Line Of Duty, but the last series of that knocked the seventh aeries of Line of Duty clean out of the park.

Knocked it out of the park probably overrates the last Unforgotten (which I did think was very good ) and underrates Line of Duty(ditto)
