Line of Duty (2012–2021)
Country of Origin: England/Northern Ireland
After refusing to participate in covering up a fatal police shooting, Detective Sergeant Steve Arnott (Martin Compston) joins a controversial anti-corruption task force charged with “policing the police.”
Line of Duty is one of the best procedurals available to stream. It takes great pains to develop its finely shaded characters — many of whom are not as they seem — and providing them with satisfying arcs that indulge the thrills audiences expect while eschewing obvious genre conventions. It’s a consistently surprising and rewarding cop thriller, and will undoubtedly be imitated for decades to come.
The Little Drummer Girl (2018)
