Anybody watching
Line of Duty on BBC2? Seriously, this show is as great as any American cop shows, which is saying something, since the Brits usually offer us murder as parlour game, or the Merry Murders of Midsomer.
Line of Duty has the cops investigating their own. We're on series two - and we're still no clearer on who's setting up who, who done what and who didn't. There are dodgy cops galore, but it never gets ridiculous. The highpoint of last nights ep was a 17-minute scene where a top policeman was interviewed by the main detectives over his involvement in corruption, underage sex and conspiracy. The script was tighter than two coats of paint, the turnarounds and revelations were spectacular, and it left us with another twist in the tale, until next week.
I thought the first series was amazing, but they've topped it here. Written by Jed Mercurio, who wrote the best hospital drama I've seen,
Bodies...
