My Thoughts
This is a series that is filled with plot twists and surprises, and each episode ends in a cliff hanger. Series 5 picks up with more police corruption. There are six gripping episodes in this unforgettable season.
1- Three police are killed during a hijacking, and other police may have been involved.
Overall, this was an awesome series. The action level is constant and there's never a dull moment. If you want to get the advantage of a full set of amazing stories that will leave you on the edge of your seat, than this is the box set for you. You can order Line of Duty Series 5 at Acorn Media. It's also available on Amazon.
