Diesel sucked dry!
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.

Outrageously good
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.
Fantastic but I hate waiting a week
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.
Simply sublime
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.
Fastest hour of the week.
Season 6 is delivering in spades. Each episode just ratchets up the tension and offers no end of plausible suspects/theories. The links with prior series's are genius. Life will be so dull in two weeks time. Please let there be a season 7.

When seen filming he simply said he was filming a scene for Bloodlands (2021) which was filmed in the same area and executive produced by Line of Duty writer Jed Mercurio.
- GoofsThe murder investigation team sets off to warehouse location #2 in two vans and two BMW 5 series G31 estate cars. During the journey one of the BMWs is briefly substituted for an earlier model BMW 5 series E61 estate, before switching back again as they arrive at the warehouse.
