It comes to life.
Part one was good, but it was typical crime drama, Part two however is a different ball game, this has that spark of something that we associate with Line of Duty.
There is a depth to this story that is quite remarkable, it's being repeated now eight years on since its original transmission, it's as good now as it was then. Lennie James continues to impress, but it's the dramatic ending that makes this so good, bit many shows would be so brave as to take out such a big name so early on.
Excellent, 9/10.

Solid bit of storytelling
Gates is drawn in deeper as more information about Jackie comes out.
This is a compelling episode that makes you want to find out what happens next.
The noir-like aspects of the story are the best parts for me, as we see a flawed central character unravelling at the hands of a well-realised femme fatale. Some moments are predictable, whilst others, particularly the ending, are not.
Various scenes that seem to be inspired by 'The Wire', involving street gangs and life in drug-addled communities, plus the banter between the police are fairly good, but no characters outside of Superintendent Hastings have particularly entertained me yet.
For me it's a 7.5/10 but I round upwards.

Old
I like the bit where the old geyser hit that kid with his walking stick.
