Season 1
If you think catching criminals is tough, try catching police officers.
Synopsis
Line of Duty (2012), Season 1 is the BBC crime drama you can watch online on iFILM — five episodes that introduce anti-corruption squad AC-12.
DS Steve Arnott refuses to sign off on a botched counter-terror raid and gets shunted into AC-12. His first target: Tony Gates, the city's most decorated detective, a man whose clear-up rate looks too clean to be honest. With Kate Fleming working him from the inside, the team tugs at a single loose thread — a covered-up crime, a vanished woman — and the whole story unravels. Who is hunting whom keeps shifting.
Creator Jed Mercurio sets the template right here: marathon interrogation scenes where one phrasing ends a career. It is the shortest run of the show, and the one that explains why everyone later learns to fear AC-12. Stream Line of Duty Season 1 online on iFILM.
