Fans took to Twitter last night to gush over the opening episode of Jed Mercurio’s cop drama Line Of Duty, with one calling it “absolutely cracking”.
“Best opening episode of a #LineOfDuty series yet [heart eye emoji],” said one fan.
As AC-12 returned to our screens to investigate the Balaclava Men, led by undercover cop seemingly gone rogue John Corbett (actor Stephen Graham), viewers couldn’t help but share their pleasure at the show’s triumphant return to BBC One.
“Can’t remember the last time a first episode of a new season had me that shocked,” said one, while another said of the week-long wait till the next episode: “The next 7 days are going to drag.”
