Line of Duty Season 1 is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Line of Duty Season 1 treats its mystery as a means, not an end in itself. DS Steve Arnott is transferred to the police anti-corruption unit after the death of a man in a mistaken shooting during a counter-terrorist operation by another cop. Martin Compston and Lennie James lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2012. What makes Line of Duty Season 1 hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Viewers who think they have seen every crime drama tend to find Line of Duty Season 1 proves them wrong. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Martin Compston carries scenes that would sink a lesser production. The resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary, which is rarer than it sounds.
