Too bloody confusing and up it's own backside by half so far...we'll see

I don't think it's possible for a drama to be 'up it's own backside'.  A forum member can be!  It's not confusing to me. Good dramas demand your attention and have interwoven plots that slot together, it's not for everyone!

I think it's top quality drama with turns but its pace is steady.  There are some twists that hold the attention.  Eccleston is a very good actor - or perhaps - an actor who seems to choose his scripts and projects carefully.  I think some dramas suffer from gratuitou, twists and red herrings to pad them out and while it might hold the attention for a while, you can feel conned when it's overdone.  Blackout's pace is straightforward but not at all predictable.

I spend half my time during Line of Duty trying to work out where they are   the fraud squad building is in what used to be a Lloyds Bank which used to have Central TV next to it.

 

I loved the house that the Lafferty woman lived in  

 

 

All that said, I'm loving this series and thank you Baz for prompting me to give it a go
