From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Line of Duty is a British police procedural and serial drama created by Jed Mercurio for the British Broadcasting Corporation. The series revolves around Anti-Corruption Unit 12, a team of officers tasked with "policing the police". Over the course of the programme, AC-12 investigate a series of seemingly disparate cases; however, as the show progresses, they discover evidence that connects all their cases, and uncover deeply-rooted associations between the department's highly-ranked officers and organised crime. Line of Duty aired six series between 2012 and 2021, with the first three airing on BBC Two, and the latter three airing on BBC One. Since then, the fate of the show has remained unknown. The critically acclaimed programme has gained an international cult following. It has also won numerous awards and been nominated for several others, most notably in BAFTA TV and RTS categories.
