Line of Duty
Season One
Detective Chief Inspector Tony Gates (Lennie James) is an exemplary cop. He's got the best crime stats on the force and a loyal team working under him. But the head of the police anticorruption unit, Superintendent Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar), has his doubts about Gates. Is he really that good? And more importantly, is he really that clean?
Hastings decides to find out and calls on a new arrival to his department, Detective Sergeant Steve Arnott (Martin Compston), to help him do it. As the net tightens around Gates, reputations are on the line — and lives are at risk.
This BBC2 drama first aired in June 2012 and later in the US exclusively on Hulu. The series has been renewed for a second season.
