Line of Duty - Series 6

Yes I love it! I think it has started well.
I think Killing Eve was the best series for ages-especially the first 2 series, the 3rd was a bit of a disappointment TBH. \It is a shame the next series will be the last.
I also love The Killing & The Bridge- I don't mind the sub-titles. I do wish they would make more series of them now though.

Oops, dare I admit? I fell asleep!

Have enjoyed all past Lod series but having had a busy gardening day, all the acronyms sent me to Dreamland.

Why so many initials? Seemed almost another language - one I don't speak!

I had better re-watch or I won't have a remote chance of knowing what's going on in the next episode.
OAO.

While on a walk this morning I listened to BBC Sounds podcast by Craig Parkinson (Dot) with Sarah Millican they dissected the first episode and came up with different theories a couple that hadn’t occurred to me.
Worth a listen

I am waiting (not sure how) so I can binge watch the series.

I love all the scandi crime series and convince myself I can understand what is being said, I can’t.

There was a French crime series that was quite good but it disappeared I think it was called Spirals??

I couldn't wait until 9pm on Sunday til one of my most fav programmes returned. Now I'm wishing I could of watched it again( haven't got catch-up). I got confused from the very start and really hoping next week will help me understand what in earth is going on. My friend isn't even going to watch next week as he was totally baffled. I love Ted's use of his wee N.Ireland sayings, at least I understood those.

Line of duty is my number 1, crime series. I am a massive fan, and know all the characters names.
The first series was my favourite, I’ve lost count the amount of times I’ve watched it.
So the new series is eagerly awaited.

Alioop I m a little bit with your friend but I will watch next week but can’t so far see what all the adoration is about

I’ve never watched any if it. Been tempted a few times when others have raved about it but then the thought of all those bloody acronyms puts me off.

I love Line of Duty with all its twists and turns and do enjoy all the Scandi offerings such as Bordertown and the Bridge. One I got hooked on during lockdown is Spiral. What a cracker of a police series! 15 years worth to enjoy too.

The first episode of a series is often confusing, as you try to work out who people are and what they're doing. This is particularly true of crime series. I've watched some that seem to be telling several different stories at the beginning and don't make much sense until eventually they join up. You have to give it time to get going.

The jargon is a bit confusing but I don't think it matters if you don't know what most of it means. If it's important for us to what "A1 on the Matrix" means, for example, presumably they will tell us. As for the unfortunately-named CHIS, I shall say no more.

I like Kelly Macdonald and think that she will be a good lead character. Everyone seems to remember her from Trainspotting, but to me she is the sweet police officer in Giri/Haji. (An excellent series, by the way, and well worth watching.)

I also like Steve with a beard, though I may be in a minority. He is rather cute - I like a man in a waistcoat. He does look even more irritated than usual. Possibly constipated as a result of all that codeine.

Blue cat and low in mood, muggy headed as a result of too many strong pain killers and chronic pain. In reality, he should be off sick - therapy for the impact on the assault and help to wean off all those meds

He does look even more irritated than usual. Possibly constipated as a result of all that codeine.
Should we send him some packets of soft prunes?

Spiral came to an last year with Gilou and Laure walking off hand in hand. Can't stand LOD - seems I may be in a minority of one..

They are all on i player.

Thanks Tanith, the bbc sounds podcast is really good.

I have never watched these series. (Don't know why) Is it too late for me to pick up? Not sure I can be bothered with iplayer.

I just read an article from the Independent which suggests there was something significant about Steve’s flashing car-headlight signals to Kate when they had their clandestine meeting.

I’ll say no more to avoid any possibility of a spoiler.

I’d say no

You need to start with Series 1 Episode 1 because there is a plot which winds throughout and it is very complex. Each series has a different story but they are all connected. And the earlier series are so good! We don't know yet whether this one is.

I watched all of Spiral during this long lock down. I loved it, the scenes of Paris, the way their colonial past had come back to haunt them, the casual dress in CID, those flics running out to catch bad guys whilst pushing their guns in the back of their jeans. The way Gilroy/anyone would suddenly slap a suspect. Oh yes, all that shameless smoking. The way the French are casually unconcerned about use of language.

It was part Life on Mars, part the Sweeney - highly recommend ???

That should say Gilou. Blinkin predictive text

Just love lod. We once binge watched on all the previous series to the point that it felt ac12 had moved in with us! Sad! Ted is looking a tad tired perhaps after all that walking in Ireland. Jed mercurio is a talented writer.

Jed Mercurio is indeed talented. Lod has also had a strong cast, throughout

I've never watched it

Is it just a PC word for a grass?

I thought they used to call them "informers", but grass probably does just as well
