i freaking love Line of Duty
i havent the foggiest who H might be and im waiting to be shocked and surprised if/when we find out!

the acting is a bit hit and miss but im not really watching for the acting and its not stand-out poor to me

Last series had me feeling like it was running out of steam and stretching the believability of the whole setup by a long way, this series has been a lot better though - the episode before last especially was great. I'm kind of hoping that Ted's retirement/increasing desperation is leading to him being out of the picture one way or another for the next/final series and that Kate's going to step up to fill his boots, she's by far the strongest lead character imo.

As for H, the Carmichael theory seems a bit too much of a reach to be legit - Lakewell was a lawyer, he knows that "I deduced it was her from a riddle" wouldn't hold up as a justification for a police investigation into her. Osborne is my top pick for it currently, it would bring things full circle and create an interesting setup for the final series of "how do we investigate our highest boss who controls all our resources and command structure"

I’m now fully up to date with Line of Duty, just finished watching S6 E6 and frankly have no idea who is actually going to end up being ‘H’, if they are identify them in the next episode. It also feels like wrapping everything up in one more episode would be too rushed unless it’s a 2 hour episode to end it on a high? Alternatively I could see a 7th series with 3 episodes, so we get the identity of H this evening and a shortened 7th series pieces the evidence together behind them.

Looking forward to watching it tomorrow :toot:

Here we go. I’ve avoided this thread. Will catch up later. Suspect it’s the very end tonight.

That certainly felt like the last one ever.

strawberry floating Osborne. strawberry floating Carmichael.

Bastards.

Yeah, there was a tiny glimmer of hope that Carmichael could carry the torch, but that was soon eliminated. That’s all folks.

Smugness you could suffocate in.

Seems like most people hated that finale but I thought it was good. Resolved most remaining questions and felt like the end of the show.

I do think on a whole Line of Duty is really good, I do feel that a little bit of the insane numbers/reviews it gets is down to it being a really good programme on the beeb rather than a classic 10/10 programme.

I’m calling that H is Buckells, he’s been there from the first series and is so unassuming that everyone should be more amazed at his promotion let alone being H, always hovering around the main cast and storylines too.

Please note, the above is largely rubbish and intended for the purposes of a joke, please don’t hand me a yellow notice

*applauds*

I thought the finale was fine but a bit of a damp squib. Mercurio's new submarine show looked interesting

I just read a theory on who H is. Possibly bollocks but sounds compelling to me. MASSIVE SPOILERS obviously.

I actually hope that isn't true. That character would be far better as just an evil passive aggressive bully than an actual criminal mastermind

Love that. Definitely the writers playing games with the clue-hunter viewers.

An anticlimax as predicted but I much prefer that to some of the preposterous convoluted theories I was reading in advance. Felt like they were setting up another series with Carmichael replacing Hastings but I hope not.

Thought the last episode/ending was naff. Boo hiss.

PostRe: Line of Duty by **Preezy** » Sun May 02, 2021 10:23 pm

Highlight for me was the woefully ropey CGI of them all in the lift at the end, clearly spunked the budget on Jimmy Nesbitt.

Very anti-climactic end to it all.

Thought it did a good job of managing to wrap everything up tbh. The comparisons it's getting to the shitshow Game of Thrones finale on Twitter is dumb.

I'm not surprised people are finding it anti-climatic though, the amount of insane hype series 6 and the finale seems to have come from nowhere compared to previous years. Reminds me of Breaking Bad, barely anyone knowing it exists for years before exploding into the mainstream on it's final couple of seasons.

I'm kind of with you. I thought it ended well suggesting the police are more interested in looking good than actually being un-corrupt that they let corruption slide and then try and force out anyone who trys to sort things out.

It was anticlimactic but a pretty realistic ending. No criminal mastermind, just greed, coverups and incompetence.

It's definitely left open for further series though. There's still plenty of questions open and people that can be investigated.

With the AC departments being headed by Osborne-loyalists? It’s over.
