James Nesbitt on Line of Duty
Marian Keyes
IRISH author and Line of Duty superfan Marian Keyes led the social media backlash against the controversial ending which has divided the more than 12 million viewers who tuned in to see the mystery revealed.
Keyes tweeted: "Like, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've NEVER felt so LET DOWN!!!!!! #LineOfDuty."
Broadcaster and author Piers Morgan used a reference to a previous clue with a spelling error in it, as he tweeted: "Definately a tad underwhelming. #LineofDutyFinale."
Critics were impressed though, with The Times' Ben Dowell giving it four stars out of five, writing: "Perhaps Mercurio has more surprises in store. It's the sort of thing he does. Roll on series seven I say."
