I’m a number of years late to the social gathering, however in the last week and a half my only occupation at night has been to binge-watch the popular drama Line of Duty on Acorn TV’s streaming service, which is like Netflix for prime British content. I was tipped off to the show when Acorn
buy Flixy TV Stick sent a press launch about a Line of Duty season 5 episode successful the prestigious Edgar Award for its teleplay from the Mystery Writers of America, and decided to test it out. I haven’t been heard from since. The premise of Line of Duty is straightforward, considering the show’s trademark gotcha complexity. In an unnamed British city (based round Birmingham in the first season, which began in 2012), the police anti-corruption unit AC-12 investigates incidents of doable police misconduct. After the occasions of the first season, they’re especially excited about "bent coppers" (that’s a crooked cop for my fellow Americans) and their hyperlinks to the organized crime gang that’s always popping up around city with balaclavas and assault rifles.
