Line of Duty (TV Series) Lying Nest (2017) User Reviews

Now we're sucking diesel.

[Sleepin_Dragon · 9/10 · 21 November 2020]

To answer the question, I think it's Mary Healey who played The Grab, an actress who's been around a very long time.

Part five, superb, excellent, it's another incredibly strong episode, and this time it's not an individual that's under the cosh, it's AC12 itself, Hilton has truly got it in for them, but does he have it in for her?

Now we finally get the links to the past. I think this has been my favourite episode of Series four. It contains some really shocking scenes.

I am blown away once again by the sheet quality of this episode, truly amazing in every direction, as a production it's fabulous, but it's the characters and story that are extraordinary.

Love them all in this, Ingleby and Baladi are given more to do here, both excellent, but it's Newton that I find the captivating star here.

Excellent, 9/10.

Final countdown

[xmasdaybaby1966 · 8/10 · 20 April 2021]

Another strong episode as things start to unravel but also more information is brought into the mix.

A good set up for the season finale.

'Ironside and Tit' theme

[hdokubo · 8/10 · 7 April 2021]

This is a great series since been given then nudge to watch this series back to back. I really can't believe I passed on this show?!

It's amazing pace, dialogue delivery and in some cases funny given the some circumstances of the cat and mouse journey all involved face. Go watch it!

Brenda Blethyn cameo?

Who is playing Michael Farmer's gran? It definitely sounds like Brenda and could look like a non-glamourous version... Can't find anything online, maybe I am completely off the mark...

Everybody arrests everybody in Line of Duty

[snoozejonc · 8/10 · 31 March 2023]

DSI Huntley's injury is getting very severe and AC12 look for ways to pursue the Huntleys in spite of being off the case.

This is another strong episode that increases the tension around certain characters.

The best aspect the plot is how the writer links the story to the overarching narrative of Line of Duty. Similar in a way to great shows like 'The Wire', Line of Duty has obviously been meticulously planned to connect various events occurring across different seasons.

There are some quite exciting moments, as we see officers urgently rushing to apprehend suspects. I also love how virtually everyone who is a main character in Line of Duty seems to either get arrested or get served with a Regulation 15. It feels sensational but always provides great entertainment when it happens.

Some scenes between certain characters are quite touching, which is a much needed ray of sunshine in an otherwise downbeat and confrontational show.

All actors are on great form, especially Thandiwe Newton, Adrian Dunbar and Paul Higgins.

Everyone's arresting everyone!

Series 4 has to be the worst so far. So many betrayals, so many twists, and as usual, the protagonist always seems to be in the right spot at the right time. The writing could be so much better. I'm only continuing to watch because Ivevinvestedvso much time in the series.
