Line of Duty is one of the most intense and thrilling Series ever made. Created by the consistently brilliant Jed Mercurio, the BBC series follows a special unit that uncovers police corruption. Line of Duty has given us many heart-pounding stories but we had to say goodbye to our favorite characters in 2021 as the series ended after six brilliant seasons. So, if you also miss the series here are some similar shows you could watch next.
