Shows Like Line of Duty

Blue Lights

A Belfast-set police drama following rookie officers navigating a force under real institutional pressure — less about internal corruption than Line of Duty, but the same ensemble-driven, high-stakes tension.

Trigger Point

Line of Duty's own Vicky McClure leads as a bomb disposal officer in a high-tension London thriller — created by Jed Mercurio's production company and carrying the same relentless, edge-of-seat pacing.

Unforgotten

A cold case unit unravels decades-old crimes with real emotional weight — quieter than Line of Duty, but built from the same conviction that every character, however minor, deserves a full story.

The Responder

Martin Freeman is unforgettable as a morally compromised Liverpool cop unravelling in real time — less about the institution than Line of Duty, but every bit as unflinching about what the job actually costs.

This one's ended — two series, complete.

The Tower

Gemma Whelan investigates when a veteran officer and a teenage girl fall to their deaths from the same South London tower block — a tightly plotted, underseen procedural that deserves far more attention than it got.

DI Ray

From a Jed Mercurio production company, Parminder Nagra leads a Birmingham police procedural that examines race and gender inside the force with the same sharp institutional eye Line of Duty brought to corruption.
