The audience got an answer, in part because of a clue involving the recurring misspelling “definately”, but not all were satisfied. There was a sense that creator Jed Mercurio’s bravura technique – the breathless pacing, the shocking cull of crucial characters, the lingering reveals and outrageous cliff-hangers – was no longer seamless.

Line of Duty’s appeal. While the latest season has been streaming exclusively on BritBox in Australia, the previous five are available via Netflix and Stan (owned by Nine, the owner of this masthead) and remain eminently watchable.
