BBC police drama with star-studded guest cast and divisive ending jumps into UK trending chart

The popular BBC series, “Line of Duty,” featuring a stellar cast and a controversial finale, has surged in popularity once again as it’s now available on Netflix.

For six seasons spanning from 2012 to 2021, the series “Line of Duty,” conceived by Jed Mercurio, unfolded. This show primarily revolved around an anti-corruption unit within a corrupt and criminal police force operating in a fictional setting.

36 episodes of the police drama featuring Martin Compston, Vicky McClure, and Adrian Dunbar have now become available on Netflix, starting from this past Friday (June 27th).

After that point, it has proven to be extremely popular among viewers, climbing into the top ten series on the UK chart and now holding the ninth position (according to FlixPatrol).

Throughout its successful run, the final episode of the series sparked debate among viewers when the true identity of character ‘Fourth Man’ or ‘H’ was disclosed. Some found the twist anticlimactic and unsatisfying.

As a gamer, I’ve got to say that while there were diverse opinions about the reveal, I personally feel it was blown out of proportion. In 2021, I clarified this point by stating, “The Line of Duty finale may have sparked heated debates on social media, but the audience research paints a much less polarized picture.

He mentioned that an ending perceived as ‘negative’ might not be well-received by certain audiences. Moreover, he emphasized that such an outcome was simply a component of the collective television viewing experience.

Despite a brief hiatus, whispers abound about the creation of a seventh season. Notably, Compston mentioned his frequent conversations with Mercurio, McClure, and Dunbar.

The actor who portrays Steve Arnott mentioned that there’s a lot of discussion about different scenarios and timelines. Currently, everyone has their own commitments, which means that any potential plans are likely quite far in the future.

There’s a strong desire among us to collaborate once more in the future. We continue to gather… The importance of our work is something we deeply value, so any reunion would be driven by genuine intentions rather than just completing another project. Instead, if we reunite, it will be because Jed believes there’s a compelling narrative to share.

Line of Duty seasons 1-6 are streaming on Netflix.
