Yes - finally. About to start tonight. 7 episodes. This is in my top three of great crime drama series. The Bridge is second with Shetland third.

The phone will be on silent and MrM had better not interrupt my pleasure. I think he's tempted to watch it though.

Jed Mercurio never ceases to come up with a great story line. Series 3 was probably be best so far for me.

How could buckles order kates murder if he was in prison?

Well I need to have a good think about this. I was really disappointed snd then began to think it was saying something really profound about the state of Britain ( not just the police). That what in a way we hope is organised well though out masterminded corruption is just sheer half arsed banal incompetence by a bunch of bumbling no hopers that have and will continue to fool us into thinking they are so much more than they are snd thus will continue to have powerf over us ( and breathe) Well it’s either that or I’ve wasted the last decade of my life ??

It was very flat. The only good bit was the speech about the importance of truth in high office.

Such a let down but open to another series.
A lot of hype with no answer.
Buckles was too young to have organised all that from years ago.

That was in answer to No one makes mugs of AC12

Clearly my timing was off confused

Nannylovesshopping Sun 02-May-21 22:19:26

So disappointed with this too, Joe, don’t bother to write another series ☹️

Marydoll Sun 02-May-21 22:18:55

I was disappointed too, but wonder if the ending is leaving it open for another series. ?

May7 Sun 02-May-21 22:18:09

Yes they do grin

Emily49 Sun 02-May-21 22:17:12

It was as if the writer had just run out of steam.....confused. A missed opportunity for a dramatic twist at the end.

Sar53 Sun 02-May-21 22:16:56

Disappointment here too, we certainly couldn't see Buckles as H. Not sure that there is anything left for another series. A bit of an anti climax.

Liz46 Sun 02-May-21 22:16:08

I expected to be flamed for saying it was an anti climax but you have beaten me to it. Too much posing too.

Pittcity Sun 02-May-21 22:13:52

Finding the box that tied up all the previous murders was too neat. The episode went downhill from there.
I thought they were suppressing giggles in the glass box interview.

Alegrias1 Sun 02-May-21 22:10:13

I liked it.... ?

No-one makes mugs of AC-10.

Grannybags Sun 02-May-21 22:10:03

I agree, what an anti-climax

merlotgran Sun 02-May-21 22:09:12

A big let down after all the build up.

Aldom Sun 02-May-21 22:08:12

A complete anti climax.

Purplepixie Sun 02-May-21 22:08:07

What a load of s****! The ending was terrible and such a let down. Not what I expected. Disappointed ?

That was crap sorry very disappointed, Buckles is H, really???

No.

Enough leeway for another series?

Kate1949 Sun 02-May-21 22:05:34

Yes disappointing.

Atqui Sun 02-May-21 22:05:33

Still could be Osborne

Atqui Sun 02-May-21 22:05:07

What a let down !!!!

Pittcity Sun 02-May-21 22:04:30

Line of Duty fans now....

Calendargirl Sun 02-May-21 22:04:18

I hoped it would be Osborne or even Carmichael.
