The first series of Line of Duty, consisting of five episodes, began broadcasting on 26 June 2012 on BBC Two. The series follows the actions of Superintendent Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar), DC Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure) and DS Steve Arnott (Martin Compston) as they lead an investigation into the corrupt actions of DCI Tony Gates (Lennie James).
Line of Duty follows Detective Seargent Steven “Steve” Arnott (Martin Compston), a former authorized firearms officer who led an operation to catch an Islamic terrorist intending to detonate a bomb, but the strike team mistakenly entered the wrong apartment and shot dead an unarmed innocent man. In the subsequent investigation, Arnott refused to cover up negligence in the planning and execution of the raid and unable to work in his unit anymore, Arnott receives a transfer to AC-12, a unit tasked with uncovering police corruption. Arnott is partnered with Detective Constable Kathrine “Kate” Fleming (Vicky McClure)), a highly commended undercover officer with a keen investigative instinct. They work under the supervision of Superintendent Edward “Ted” Hastings (Adrian Dunbar), who is one of several Senior Investigating Officers responsible for uncovering corruption within the police force. Throughout the series, AC-12 investigate seemingly disparate cases involving seemingly corrupt police officers, with each series focusing on a different corrupt officer and AC-12 soon realize the pervasive nature of corruption and the police’s deep-rooted links to an organized crime group with ties to drug running, prostitution, child exploitation and people trafficking.
It was a good series with a lot of action and thrill. This is one of those series which has one story each season. The overall series is quite good. It explores the police story line from a different point of view. It is more fast pace and quick results type series. It is not towards commercial audience than based on reality or details. But overall this a good entertaining series.
Storyline was good each season. direction was good. But the most outstanding thing was the cast. I thing the casting was really good and the bond and tuning better them shows well. It was well written and performed series.
Music was appealing and the editing was also up to the mark.
