This would have to be the best series I've ever seen. It's fast paced, thrilling and every actor is brilliant, please watch it you will love it as much as I do its so well done.

The first few episodes in Series 1 were really good but by episode 4, the writer seemed to have lost the plot and started to develop ridiculous situations that were beyond fantasy. This was not helped by miscasting. What holds the viewers attention is not the plot but more the private lives of the characters. The lead actor is not a physically imposing personality, and one just keeps wanting to put him in his pajamas and send him off to bed! I'm not saying it's not watchable, it's just not that great!

Line of Duty just keeps getting better... we are up to Season 4 on Netflix, but Seasons 5 & 6 are coming. In fact, we are re-watching Season 4, intrigued by the many twists and turns we forgot. The case involves a serial attacker and a DCI (female) Huntley who is tasked with investigating a case of a young girl who was nabbed, and tied up in a flat that was set on fire. The occupant of the flat is a young dim witted guy who doesn't drive and can barely speak. Yet, he is later picked up at work and grilled for the crimes (as if abducting a girl, chaining her up in your home, and setting it on fire is typical stuff you do before reporting for your 10 o'clock shift).Because charges are laid against this poor loser, even when more exculpatory evidence emerges, the Anti-Corruption Squad (AC-12) are called in to review the whole process. They are headed by a Superintendent Hastings, played masterfully by Adrian Dunbar, a superb Irish character actor. Dunbar is so convincing that I frequently say that if I was being framed for a felony, I would want him there to dig out the truth. Now, that's acting. Lee Ingleby (of 'Inspector Gently' fame, playing Gently's troubled assistant) also shines as the spouse of a senior officer.There are several twists & turns, right up to the end. No bad language, no skin. Just a fabulous ensemble performance, and an excellent script.Getting ready to re-watch first seasons... c mon, Netflix: get Seasons 5 & 6 on board here in Canada.p.s. my first version review was labelled SUPERMODELS instead of a 'super model to follow'. All fixed now. Tnx, IMDb.
