21 Reactions To The Line Of Duty Finale That Summed Up What We Were All Thinking

πŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™Œ

With a less than straightforward plot, Line Of Duty is one of those shows you’d think everyone has to put their phones away for in order to pay 100% attention.

Luckily though, there are heroes that walk among us who can get to grips with the twist and turns AND provide hilarious commentary at the same time.

So as the final episode of series five unfolded on Sunday night, the internet was awash with reactions as the β€˜who is H?’ mystery was (kinda) put to bed.

Here’s those that summed up what we were all thinking...

1. The finale could not have come at a better time

3. The interrogation scenes between Carmichael and Hastings were electric

Adrian Dunbar and Anna Maxwell Martin are powerhouses and we’re not worthy of this level of TV! #LineofDuty https://t.co/3Y2UITaKpr

4. Although, it was not good seeing Hastings on the other side of the table

@ShrineOfDuty It’s so wrong seeing β€œAC-3” on the screen!!

5. When Gill Biggeloe arrived seemingly to save the day, we celebrated a little bit early

Patricia: Why wasn't I informed?
Gill: You just were.

6. Especially when it looked like she’d managed to get Hastings off the charge thanks to AC-3β€²s incompetence

Loving all this passive-aggressive quoting of the literal numbers of the law THE NUMBERS #lineofduty pic.twitter.com/sPiQfuuQQs

7. As all the evidence started to come together, many were forced to re-evaluate everything they’d previously thought

8. While Hastings’ hair on Corbett’s body was rather damning evidence, many rejoiced at his luscious locks finally getting some attention

I am *thrilled* that Ted’s hair is having a starring role in this #lineofduty finale @ShrineOfDuty

9. Hastings’ misspelling of β€˜definitely’ coming back to haunt him acted as a lesson to us all

And here’s why spelling and grammar matter, children #lineofduty

10. And his porn admission had people asking if he even knew how to use a computer properly

Once Ted hears about private browsing he's going to kick himself #LineofDuty pic.twitter.com/sZM2ytCKCy

11. There was impatience at Fleming and Arnott taking forever to get their ducks in a row

There's like 30 minutes left, hurry up Steve and Kate!!!!! #LineOfDuty pic.twitter.com/A7W7gtmqH6

13. And then came Fleming’s delicious unmasking of Biggeloe

Kate: β€˜You have the right to remain silent’
The British public:

15. Carmichael was left with so much egg on her face that she could have made an omelette

Well that’s all a bit embarrassing isn’t it Carmichael? #LineOfDuty pic.twitter.com/aG3uksRj1w

16. Then no-one arrived to save Biggeloe

17. A revisit of DI Matthew β€˜Dot’ Caddy’s dying declaration put everything right back at square one

21. And as the titles rolled, the nation was left wondering what the hell they are going to do with their lives until the show returns

That feeling when it’s all over for another series. #LineOfDuty pic.twitter.com/fzn2qav5ub
