Expect sharp turns on a white-knuckle ride. Go to Full Review Andrew Billen The Times (UK) 12/31/2017
5/5
The characters have been memorable, sometimes indelibly so. The plotting has been meticulous, demanding our more than usual attention. Yet it has remained a work of social realism. Go to Full Review Brittany Frederick CBR 08/21/2024

Line of Duty Series 3 deviates from the winning formula. Go to Full Review Cameron K. McEwan Digital Spy 10/17/2018
From hereon in, each episode ramped up the tension with surprises galore. Go to Full Review Radio Times Staff Radio Times 10/17/2018
If the first three series have taught us anything, it's that the web of corruption stretches far and wide. Go to Full Review James Walton The Spectator 09/07/2018
Yet, what makes Line of Duty so good is not just the traditional pleasures of plot, pace and characterisation. It's also Mercurio's entirely justified belief that the more technical aspects of an anti-corruption case can be extremely dramatic too. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen S @RT85234118 07/18/2024 Season 3 could also have been a fantastic movie. The twists and turns in this season were incredible. The acting got even better this season in my opinion. This show has the most action of any of the UK police procedurals I've seen yet. I'd put it in the top 5 of any TV season or movie I've ever seen!! Its that good! See more Anita F @RT48915707 07/29/2023 Another great season. Can't wait for each episode to begin! See more Andi @RT84690732 01/14/2023 Probably the peak of any crime TV. Cannot get any better. See more ma'ark t @RT57514104 05/16/2022 Season 3 of Line of Duty packs so much into so few episodes. A great crime thriller that ties up previous seasons as well. See more Biff H @RT78223616 10/11/2021 Very well written and acted. Engrossing. See more Dave C @RT09838700 05/22/2021 The behind-the-camera teams have worked out what will make the seasons run as one over-arching story, whilst delivering set themes for each, individually. This season is held together more by the developments of the former than of having anything particularly notable about the latter See more Read all reviews
