Produced by "Line of Duty" creator Jed Mercurio, "Trigger Point" follows experienced bomb disposal operative Lana Washington, an ex-military bomb disposal operative and Afghan War veteran. She is pushed to her breaking point as she deals with a series of improvised explosive devices that threaten London during a summer terror campaign. Under extreme pressure from the public and her superiors, and in search of answers, Lana suspects that the targets on her team are premeditated and must race to discover the bomber's real identity.

Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) Feb 9, 2024
The new season addresses the implausible plotting -- it’s now wildly implausible. But as corny as this series gets, it moves fast and it has a magnetic lead performance from McClure. You can’t cut her wires. Go to Full Review Hugo Rifkind The Times (UK) Feb 2, 2024
Once you start picking holes in this show, though, there’s not much left. Go to Full Review Nick Hilton Independent (UK) Jan 30, 2024
4/5
By sticking to what it does best, Trigger Point manages to blow away the competition. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Sep 6, 2024
As long as the episodes of Trigger Point‘s second season continue to show Lana and the rest of the expo squad escape one tense situation after the other... the show will continue to be entertaining, even if the overall terrorist plot is just meh. Go to Full Review Taylor Antrim Vogue Aug 30, 2024
So let me recommend UK’s wonderfully silly, ruthlessly tense bomb-squad police drama Trigger Point, which is about to release its second season here in the US and will not tax your brain, nor release you from its grip. Go to Full Review Aidan Smith Scotsman Feb 5, 2024
It’s all about the explosions in Vicky McClure’s bomb-disposal drama and perhaps even if the script was of Aaron Sorkin or David Chase standard, we’d still be hanging about, waiting for the next big blast. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jack W. @jackwww57 May 11, 2026 The police act in a stupid manner, very frustrating. They use the old trope of the bad guys being omnipresent and the police leadership being stupid. Lazy writing. See more Andy R @HonestJohn Oct 24, 2025 Series 1 wen downhill from episode 1 when they killed off Adrian Lester. Series 2 is no better. The writing is weaker than a cup of tea made with tepid water. Shoddy plotlines and predictable character dialog. Attempted character development ends up in blind alleys and leaves you regretting giving series 2 a go because "well perhaps they have better budget and writing this time around", but no. Vicky McClure is better than this. See more Dave C @RT09838700 Feb 28, 2024 Having rewatched Series 1&2 recently, I think my frustration stems from 'Wash's' character traits. On the rewatch back-to-back, Series 2 is better than I remember, because of the aforementioned. She is meant to frustrate and annoy - she's antagonistic. It seems to be a curse of ITV productions, that they rarely seem to reach a level of creative, inspired, and truly engaging drama. This is the same. There are too many wholly predictable elements, and some poor acting and directing See more Niko O @nikos819 Feb 8, 2024 trigger point always delivers the goods. easy watch, great action and acting See more Will C @RT28791055 Feb 1, 2024 After an enjoyable first series, had high hopes that the second would, at the very least, maintain the same level. No such luck. The production values have dipped significantly, melodramatic, with tired dialogue and a general rushed feeling to it. No wonder the Met don't seem to have wanted anything to do with it. See more Paul S @PaulSmith Jan 31, 2024 Episode one was pàssable. But, by episode 5 we enter the same territory occupied by Hot Fuzz 😆 There's a scene with forensics officers that could have been lifted directly from that movie. The panto villain gets killed by a booby trapped cell phone; and two minutes later a 'detective', states with a straight face, "I think someone must have tampered with his phone". Do you think? 😆 See more Read all reviews
