There is no way after being smashed around the head with a baseball bat and flung down a couple of flights of stairs that someone would be back at work (in a chair) within months, never mind days. Also after an amputation the same. Its just badly written, it almost as if the writer just hoped that we would all ignore the above, and as for giving away your password, when you work for AC12, and not saying, 'well actually I gave it to a colleague' while being bollocked, do me a favour. Surely during the script review and production someone would have said, this is just totally implausible? Its just total dog shit.

entitled to your opinion but couldn't disagree more.
Certainly far fetched, has had holes in every season but still think its gripping tv and I think a lot of people do indeed ignore some of the stuff you mentioned because its such good tv.
If it's not X Factor or equivalent and 'er indoors still enjoys watching it then it works for me as a relaxing Sunday night programme even if it does stretch credibility sometimes. That said, being the warped git I am, I did enjoy the solicitor's 'Ironside' quip.

Agreed. I've been disappointed with the points Greenie has raised, but nonetheless I'm gripped by it and can't wait for the final episode. The implausible parts were unnecessary/could have been better scripted, which is a shame. Almost as if written in a hurry.

It's not often that I manage to stay awake through a whole drama series, but I have with Line of Duty. Agree that some is a bit far fetched, but gripping none the less.

And indeed you are entitled to your opinion, and you are entitled to embrace mediocrity, I expect better, much better!

would suggest the general opinion on the programme proves the majority do not find it mediocre. But of course won't be for everyone.

Watched it up to last weeks, been giving it the benefit of the doubt, then the penny dropped. The other half watches it, it's on while I'm reading or changing guitar strings or something !
TV would be a fucking borefest if scripts strictly adhered to fact IMO
But that's where a good writer can make a good story, and make the unbelievable, believable! It really is lame! But there's a lot that enjoy it, like a lot of people like to eat Maccy D's. It's a shame because it started off very good!
Got to agree with Greenie here. What did it for me was that guy giving away his password - he's in the police for Gods sake! No way he would do that. If there are people in the police who are that dumb they must all be waiting on a cheque from a Nigerian prince.
. Sorry the stop was to remove something which I'd posted that demonstrated that cops, en masse, can do very dumb things sometimes! I then realised I was making a very dumb disclosure! And thought better of it.
That last shot right at the end though... surely, SURELY they weren't even hinting at the possibility Hastings might actually be bent. Right?
Not quite sure having everything wrapped up in a short interrogation was the most satisfying way to conclude things, interesting to have Roz just buckle and confess though - redeemed her somewhat. Though that idiotic Jodie person is still colossally stupid for a police officer!

I'm sure i read the writer talking this up in the same league as ' The wire' during one of the previous series.
Now that is funny!
Excellent series
