Line Of Duty

Seasons 1-6 on BritBox

At the end of season 5 of British police drama Line Of Duty (2012-now) in 2019, South African fans were left with major questions about the mysterious “H” police corruption ring, which has been plaguing AntiCorruption Unit 12 (AC12) since season 1. We have been in the dark ever since the ITV Choice channel (previously DStv channel 123) left DStv in 2020. We haven’t been waiting alone. Line Of Duty season 6 has only just come out in the UK this year. And now, thanks to the new streaming service BritBox (see more on p14), we can catch up on all the action to date, from season 1.

But according to series writer-creator producer Jed Mercurio (who often cameos as a cab driver in the show) you can just dive right into Line Of Duty at season 6, episode 1…
