Any UK forumers watching the latest series of Line of Duty?
Such a great show. Every series has been utterly fantastic (the last one a little drop off but that was fair enough after the conclusion of such a main storyline).
Bodyguard was good (also by Jed Mercurio) but not a patch on the team from AC-12.
BENT COPPERS!!!
(Every time I hear that it makes me giggle, no idea why if I'm honest 😂)
I'm watching Line Of Duty... I actually only watched series 1-3 a couple months back (Got the box set dirt cheap new off amazon) before watching the currently showing season 5!
This series early 'twist' was a bit predictable - but it is still the best UK police show for a very long time.
Haven't seen this week's - so it's looking like a GoT LoD kind of evening!

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy S4 is on Netflix. I only got into it a year ago and got through S1-3 quickly and was lucky that S4 dropped soon after I’d watched those.
I find it fascinating in a Kojima/MGS way to know quite how far in advance he’s had some of these stories ready. For instance, having so many people who could be H; did he purposefully give so many people surnames that fit with that or has he worked it in subsequently?
Oh I know @Thrillho ... just I don't have Netflix for 11 months of the year as a self imposed rule (I waste it otherwise) . And my internet's crummy most of the time anyway 😅
I'd say it's a mixture of both as I doubt all the seeds were planned way back in season one (Though he could've had a brief outline for it) only to get expanded as it went along

@Thrillho Yeah, I'm a week behind though, not watched last night's yet. I've heard there's a twist or two. Does Hastings finally get sick of Arnott being such a boring arse and give him a slap?
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
@Gremio108 I still can’t get over the fact the guy playing Steve is actually Scottish and has a Glaswegian accent (I think). They obviously weren’t allowed two Scottish officers in AC-12.
@Tasuki I watched Smallville because back then it was the only superhero tv series available but continued to follow the series mainly because of Kristin Kreuk <3 and also hoping Clark would eventually where his costume and become Superman. Speaking of Smallville, Allison Mack finally pleads guilty in alleged sex cult case.
I'm a bit sad Gotham is coming to an end. It's a terrible, terrible show, but one I've faithfully followed since it first aired. It's incredibly enjoyable trash.
By the way, has anyone else here watched the insane Christopher Meloni vehicle "Happy!"? It's turning into one of my favorite shows. A disgraced detective-turned-hitman (Meloni) is scouted by an imaginary blue alicorn named Happy (voice of Patton Oswalt) to find a young girl that was kidnapped. Just the perfect mixture of horrible violence, big city scuzz, and a wonderful tension between the main character's deeply cynical and nihilistic view of life and Happy's childlike innocence.
@RogerRoger I always rotate between the subscription services, cancelling one when I'm at a good point to stop watching for a few months. I've got NOW TV for Game of Thrones and Netflix cos it's free until next month. I wait and see before what is on Disney+ before subbing. Looking at the shows that were going from NOW TV, there wasn't a great deal that I either watch or am interested in.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@RogerRoger Oh I still have loads to watch of each of the streaming services. I might keep Netflix as like you I have people using it under different profiles. I agree that with NOW TV things can dissappear quite quickly. And I've never been a fan of having separate packages for entertainment and cinema content. Ok I understand sports being a separate more expensive package because of the billions it costs them for the Premier League and so on. At least with Amazon Prime and Netflix it is all there under one package.

@Thrillho Yeah, Arnott's Scottish all right. He was in Doomsday, the Neil Marshall one, although I didn't realise until later. It's kind of hard to get my head around.
