Line of Duty: Negative Pressure (2016)
Season 3, Episode 4
9/10
Another great advert for police integrity
22 March 2023
Denton is out of prison, more information is revealed about the current case and focus grows on "The Caddy".

This is another very strong episode with great plot development and memorable character moments.

The story is driven by a number of elements, particularly the behaviour of Dot and the impact he has on numerous the investigation. You want to see him caught and that alone compels you to keep watching.

I think the links between the current investigation and the previous case shows a good level of intricacy and planning by the writer. This has the effect of making everything every episode feel like an important part of a jigsaw to a bigger puzzle. I hope this continues throughout the series.

The character of Lindsay Denton continues to hold interest for a number of reasons. Her life since being released from prison is pretty engrossing, plus there are important questions that remain unanswered. Keeley Hawes is brilliant once again and she has excellent material to work with.

Overall it's another sensational and damning portrayal of corruption and underhanded behaviour by the UK police, but you cannot deny it is entertaining and very well made.

For me it's an 8.5/10, but I round upwards.
