I suppose there are only so many plot lines you can have on a segmented train travelling in perpetual motion and after seeing the film you have seen most of them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdabush Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Forget about who it was revealed to be but the pacing of that episode was dire. A finale where there's barely any drama and it happens in the first half of the episode? Bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 That little tinker Mercurio, tied up the whole H case my foot, season7 will be a corker, hoping for more of Carmichael, good character. But have to say that was a bit underwhelming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 2, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2021 That was awful. The last 2 series have ruined Line of Duty to be honest. The best bit was Ted Hastings whacking his head off the car as he got out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizzzle Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) I wouldn't say it was an awful season finale of line of duty but it was definitely disappointing and ended on a wimper. I hope there is a season 7 On a side note that new show by the makers of line of duty that was advertised after it looks alright Edited May 2, 2021 by Bizzzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Line Of Duty just seems like one of the programmes that they don't know how to end, or the writer knows how to end it but keeps getting paid loads of money for a new series and it gets more and more convoluted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I really enjoyed the LoD finale tonight and was surprised to go online afterwards and see so many people slagging it off. Spoiler Buckles as Boris Johnson, the bumbling buffoon who fails upwards but you have the suspicion knew what he was doing all along by cultivating that persona. Institutionalised corruption either being ignored or swept under the carpet, or written off as a few bad apples rather than a rotten tree. Very astute social commentary on 2021 Britain for me. Not sure what people were looking for? Why put in a big twist for the sake of it. There have been plenty of dramatic set pieces throughout the series, don’t think the finale necessarily needed one. Whilst I've enjoyed this series, I didn’t think it was LoD at its absolute best whereas the reaction (on Twitter at least) after each episode seems to have been that each one has been the best episode ever. Found it funny to see that reversed tonight! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found it funny to see that reversed tonight! I thought that. Seems the masses haven’t ‘got it’. I’m sure Jed Mecurio and the cast are feeling disappointed with the reaction as I know Martin Compton was quite vocal about hoping the ending lived up to expectations. I don’t think it did really. I was a bit underwhelmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted May 3, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 3, 2021 Always the same problem with TV shows people are invested in. How the heck to end them and satisfy the majority. Meh - ultimately they are vignettes / short stories that producers are happy to keep paying writers to squeeze life out of for as long as they make money or maintain peoples interest. Unless someone has a really clear idea of where a show is going to go and how long it has to get there it's never going to feel complete and satisfying. TV just isn't made that way.

Seat68 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Over time I have come to realise that Jed Mercurio rarely if ever writes the ending I want. LoD on a scale of 1 to Dexter was OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
