    Brilliant Season with Riveting Finale!

    I was waiting expectantly for the 4th season of "Line of Duty" and was pleased to see it appear on NetFlix. It did not disappoint in the least. Although the 4th season got off to a somewhat slow start, the suspense kept building through each successive episode. The final episode was absolutely riveting, and kept me right on the edge of my seat.

    Strong arm tactics

    The series wraps up but a bit jerkily for me. It's as if they were stumbling to a conclusion with this episode just being the usual length unlike the final episode of the previous series.

    The right result is reached but there does seem to be a huge leap to reach the conclusion.

    As with previous series, the journey outweighs the arrival.

    For me this season was poorer than the previous ones which were screened on BBC 2 unlike this one that has moved to the main channel.

    As I watch this series, BBC 1 is actually showing series 6 which is receiving a great deal of publicity.

    I just hope by the time I catch up, the quality of the show is as high as the hype.

    A Very Handsome Show

    The way our Superintendent Hastings fire the gun was so cool and handsome. He is the preserver of justice as well as the source of amusement in this show. Can't imagine this show without him.

    Of course, Kate and Steve are our favorite too. Very dedicated, hardworking and thoroughgoing. The team is solid, and the teamwork is amazing.

    Sad when sometimes there were traitor in the team though.

    Superb conclusion

    AC12 continue to investigate the Huntleys.

    This is a very strong finish to the forth series.

    There is little about the story I can say without spoiling, but it's safe to say that there is a satisfying conclusion to series 4 and all characters are used well by the the writer, especially Ros Huntley, Nick Huntley, Lakewell, Hilton and Desford.

    The highlight for me is how it links to the overarching narrative of the show and develops more intrigue about the wider conspiracy. There are also some very good suspenseful moments.

    As always the cast are excellent, with Thandiwe Newton and Adrian Dunbar standing out for me.

    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Goofs
      In the presentation of evidence against the suspect, they state the killer used the amputated fingers of the victims to operate his phone. The phone shown in the evidence looks to be a late model smart phone, in line with the technologically savvy victim. The fingerprint ID for the phone would therefore need a live finger to operate as the technology relies on electrical conductance as opposed to older phones that use optical sensors.
    • Quotes

      Roz: Am I still a police officer?

      Hastings: Yes for the moment.

      Roz: Thank you sir. James Lakewell, you do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned, something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be used in evidence.
