UK crime drama "Line of Duty" on Amazon Prime - really excellent. Also "Unforgotten" on PBS [View all]

My wife and I really enjoy multipart crime dramas - the first from years ago we loved were Touching Evil and Prime Suspect (Helen Mirren - say no more).

We found one that we really enjoyed recently - Unforgotten - starring Nikola Walker (we enjoy watching her in everything she is in). We watched it using PBS Passport streaming on our Roku. It is in the Masterpiece Mystery series.

A UK gardening friend just suggested we give Line of Duty a try - holy shit - edge of the seat, really complex story lines, great acting - highly recommended (though it is hard to get to sleep after watching it!).

Happy watching!
