Oh my, ending on a cliffhanger like that should be a crime. Ok, Line of Duty is as mad as a box of frogs but it's a very well built box with very talented frogs.
Talk about intense, this rollercoaster series just went up another notch, how on Earth have they maintained this standard for a three episode run, this once again, was exceptional.
The face from the past, that was unexpected, and proved to be an irresistible twist, and by the end of the episode I was absolutely exhausted, fatigued mentally and physically, absolutely outrageous drama, you think you can breathe easily, and then you're given...
....That ending, when I thought it couldn't get any more intense, any more dramatic, they give us THAT ending, my heart was in my mouth.
Outrageous, everything is falling apart. 10/10.

I'm generally a pretty chill person but this episode had me screaming at the tv by the end. To tell a smart and engaging story like this with interweaving plotlines and threads unfolding over many years while still maintaining genuinely thrilling action from episode to episode is incredible.
If there are any script writers, producers, directors out there who want to know how to make a t.v. Series that is thoughrouly enthralling , riveting , captivating and simply sensational, just watch Line Of Duty!! Simply wonderful.
Wow! This episode is a total belter. On the edge of my seat and you will be too!
Lots of details, names and links to series 1&3 so really listen and I would recommend watching more than once!
