'Line of Duty' attracts record 9.6m viewers

As first episodes go, it's definitely the tamest so far. Even Ted is a shadow of his former self.
I don't believe that Jed Mercurio has run out of ideas so I would imagine the series will be a slow burner. The real Ted will return, soon !

It's all a bluff - as was Kate's defection to normal coppering in MIT because of being hacked off with Ted's inappropriate behaviour. In the fullness of time, it will transpire that this was a double bluff to get her into MIT - the double bluff being that she told her DI that she had been in AC12 - mark my words. Ted will be sucking diesel before long too.

Watched the first episode last night.
It was ok (Mrs fell asleep, as it was confusing & slow)

Lazy writing though, as they used the diversion tactic (betting office raid), in the last series (car crash with child)

Methinks the writer has run out of ideas

His 4 part series, Bloodland (I think) was a rushed ending as well
