Confession - I have never watched it!

Yes, you should watch it but you will need to start at series one to understand it.

You should also have seen Breaking Bad and Sopranos to keep up with current culture.

Started watching Breaking Bad - hated it, never watched Sopranos. What is it about Line of Duty and Sopranos that means I should be watching them?

Oldwoman, Line of Duty is so cleverly written and full of twists, turns and red herrings. Just when you think you have worked it out, another spanner is thrown into the works.

You do have to watch it from the beginning to get it.

No need to watch if it doesn't interest you Oldwoman it's not everyone's cup of tea. I never understood what made Breaking Bad so popular but my husband loved it.
I agree with Marydoll's comments, I am a fan of Line of Duty.

You should definately definitely watch!!

The world and his wife were watching Game of Thrones.
I never thought for one moment should I be watching this

I have never watched it either. Seen clips, and it just does not grab me!

I ve tried twice with Line of Duty but didn’t get into it at all but I suppose that’s because I haven’t seen it for the start and I really can’t be bothered or have the time to go though 36 odd hours of watching
Some dramas you can pick up on without going back to the beginning but obviously with Line of duty isn’t one of them
I have never seen breaking bad or sopranos so won’t bother now

Me neither- I watched a couple of episodes and couldn't figure out what was going on so I don't bother trying. Just because everyone else finds it unmissable doesn't mean you have to. Watch what you like!

If you choose to give it a go then set aside plenty of viewing time. It has to be watched from the first series or it will make no sense at all. Personally, I have to watch each episode twice as there are so many clues to spot. I also listen to two Podcasts which discuss each episode. Obsessed? Haud yer wheesht, fella.

Sopranos is Shakespearean in the way the relationships work. Brilliant writing. I've watched it 2 or 3 times and will probably watch it again.

I never thought for one moment ^should I be watching this^

Game of Thrones is another I didn't watch (beginning to think there is no hope for me!)

We’ve never watched Peaky Blinders and have to admit I hadn’t a clue who Helen McRory was.

Only ever watched one series of Line of Duty.
Currently catching up with Unforgotten, having gone through 6 series of Spiral since Christmas. (Strictly rationed, one episode per night).

In my defence not many of my friends watch it either so it isn't a topic of conversation when we talk - I think I am just intrigued that so many people seem gripped by it

I find Line of Duty very intriguing and exciting. The plot is so complex you could easily watch it again from the start (over time). I don't like blood and gore so I have to look away for the murders, but I am a fan of the series.

I checked out Breaking Bad on Wiki and that was enough for me. The characters all seem to be involved in drugs and murder, so if that is 'current culture' then you can keep it.

I’ve never watched Home and Away and only a couple of episodes of Neighbours years ago. I like Line of Duty but we are only up to series 5 here. Looking forward to series 6. One I never got into was The Wire.

There’s no reason why you should watch it if it’s of no interest to you. I have watched it since it began because I love a well written police or crime drama. The Sopranos was a brilliant series.

There are so many programmes which don’t interest me in the slightest but I’ve never thought that I should watch them.

Do you watch TV at all Oldwoman, if so what do you enjoy?

I tried to watch it because my friends said I was missing out. I just could not get into it at all it’s like a soap opera not for me.

Never watched Line of Duty
Game of Thrones
Break Bad
The sopranos
The Wire
Unforgotten
or Spiral
This is Us
and many many others people seem obsessed with
I watched Peaky blinders once for a bit but the accents were just awful so I had to turn it off

I'm not sure you should watch anything just because someone else thinks you should.
I love Line of Duty but came to it late. I never had an interest in watching The Sopranos and came to that late. What a fantastic series. I was hooked. My favourite of all.

I have never watched line of duty, peaky blinders or Game of Thrones but I loved breaking bad

Perhaps I shouldn't have used the word "should". As I say I am intrigued that so many people are gripped by the programme.

I confess I don't watch much TV these days - I tend to watch DVDs but I did enjoy The Mentalist, Criminal Minds, Law & Order UK and Person of Interest (oh dear I have just realised those are either American programmes or based on an American programme!)
