Crossing the Line
Prismark107 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Sgt Ian Durrant turns up at the wake for DCS Jack Mulgrew.

He was the policeman who found the body in the first episode of the third series. In fact he turned out to be the murderer.

DI David Bradford thinks this is nothing suspicious about this behaviour or that Durrant tells him that he knew Mulgrew.

However eventually Durrant becomes a person of interest when another policeman dies, this one served at the same station as him.

DC Rob Brady and DC Billie Fitzgerald make the horrifying realisation that Durrant has been targeting black coppers.

I was not convinced with the lone wolf scenario, when the London Metropolitan Police have been found to be institutionally racist in the past. London Kills very much sanitised the racism angle.

It's been a slog, and this was a damp squib.

Vivienne is confronted Billie as to why she's so detached about the death of her ex husband, meanwhile the killer tries to cover their tracks.

Something has been off with this third series, and I can't put my finger on it, is it the vibe, the story, the acting, or the production in general, I'm not sure what it is, but I've found this third run a bit of a slot, this fifth and final episode was perhaps the lowest point so far.

Were they trying to do a cut priced, daytime version of Line of Duty, that's what this third series has felt like, an u know criminal mastermind at the top of a web manipulating all around him, whilst remaining hidden in the shadows.

I will credit them for tying up the loose strands, and for at least giving some sort of resolution, I'm just not sure it worked.

Benjamin O'Mahony was the standout as Sgt Ian Durrant, he made it interesting.

It surprises me to see that it's coming back for series four. This series was a drag.

5/10.
