ITV viewers praise new Siobhan Finneran crime drama with “Line of Duty vibes”

Viewers are praising the latest crime drama on ITV, titled “Protection,” which features Siobhan Finneran, known for her role in “Happy Valley.

Developed by Kris Mrksa from White House Farm, this six-episode series features Finneran as Det. Insp. Liz Nyles, a character who becomes embroiled in a sensitive issue involving a security leak within her witness protection division.

In summary, “She is committed to revealing the genuine root of police corruption since her secret relationship with a coworker has put her professional standing in jeopardy. Liz will go to great lengths to restore her own reputation, that of her lover, and protect her witnesses and family members, including bending or breaking the rules if necessary.

After its debut on March 16, viewers are expressing their admiration for the series on social media platforms. Some have gone as far as drawing comparisons between it and the popular show “Line of Duty”.

On platform X, a user commented with the sentiment, “New Line of Duty feels” accompanied by #Protection. Another user shared, “Protection is reminding me of The Bay and Line of Duty, and I’m loving it!!”.

Another admirer praised Finneran for yet another perfect act, commenting: “She has an extraordinary versatility in her acting, as you can witness if you’ve watched ‘Alma’s Not Normal‘.

Another hailed Protection as “possibly” being “ITV’s best crime drama in years!”

In addition to its main cast, the show “Protection” features Katherine Kelly (known for her roles in “Mr Bates vs. The Post Office” and “The Crow Girl”), Nadine Marshall (“Sherwood” and “Trigger Point”), Barry Ward (“Bad Sisters” and “Save Me”), and Chaneil Kular (“Sex Education”).

I’m pumped up for my next adventure! I’ll be teaming up with Sex Education’s Asa Butterfield in Netflix’s forthcoming psychological thriller, Out of the Dust. Can’t wait to dive into this role!

In the heart of my gaming world, I find myself playing a character named Rosie, a devoted spouse and mom living in a traditional Christian community. However, things take an unexpected turn when I meet Sam, a man who’s broken free from the shackles of the law. This encounter sets off a chain of events that completely alters her life.

Protection airs on ITV and streams on ITVX.
