With the sixth series of
Line of Duty approaching its midway point, it seems like things are starting to heat up for Steve Arnott and co.
Episode three features the most memorable set piece of the season to date, as nefarious officer Ryan Pilkington (Gregory Piper) attempted to drown a key witness and fellow police officer after a lakeside car accident. The scene embodies much of what makes
Line of Duty great: it’s unexpected, edge-of-your-seat stuff that manages to sell a ridiculous twist as completely plausible.
Elsewhere, the episode is more subdued, though no less tense. DCI Joanne Davidson (Kelly Macdonald) is proving a wonderfully slippery foil for Arnott (Martin Compston), and the pair’s investigational tête-à-tête is carried over from last week without missing a beat.
