Denton was the best drawn character outside the three main protagonists, But you saw her death coming. Georgia Trotman's death was hands down the most shocking, heart stopping and upsetting death I've seen in all of British TV.

Danny should be number 1. No one saw that coming. You thought he was the main antagonist for Series 3.

Lindsay Denton was the most complex character on line of duty, and Keeley Hawes played her brilliantly! I was gutted they killed her off!

[lisayoung]

Georgia’s death was the most shocking for me, thought she would be in a lot more episodes. Maneets death was the most heartbreaking. 😢😢😢💔💔💔

[bizarrebunny]

Danny was expected to be the protagonist of the series so that was shocking and Georgia’s was so shocking... I loved her character

[chrisxavier]

Yes, DC Trotman's defenestration was the most shocking death. Ryan should have bitten it that way

[andrewlocke]

Lindsey Denton is definitely my favourite character

[Overyvonne]

Line of duty had such a strong start Tony gates and the laverty storyline was the perfect opener

[pmyraje]

For me Lindsay Denton's death was the most dramatic, and she and John Corbett were my favourite characters on the show. But Georgia Trotman was the most shocking, as it happened so fast and unexpectedly, while Maneet Bindra's was the saddest as we had more time to get to know her and see her struggle.

Ryan Pilkington is my favourite death, since season 1 I hated the little shit.

[chrisxavier]

Maneet's death was the saddest and Pilkington's should have been more lingering the wee demon!

[JustinLozada]

DC Trotman’s demise was a serious OMG moment for me. That’s how you start a new series! Did not hold back.

No too sure of the characters name but it was pretty shocking when Ryan killed the female cop by swerving the car into the lake and drowning her, granted she wasn't a main character but still it was shocking.

[platniumfoxx]

Honest to God, Dot literally took the bullet for Kate. I do think he loved her her

[MindfulnessGamer]

Georgia’s death always stuck with me the most in this show for some reason

[fern]

Why do the characters always fancy Kate 😂 Dot, Jo etc

[kalmes]

Georgia Trotman's death was most shocking to me. Stuck with me ever since.

[hazelnut]

The last series was a big disappointment.
The actors tried their best but the script and direction was quite amateurish.
Don’t know if it was due to lockdown disruption or too much emphasis on fleshing out characters personal lives.
All a bit Eastenders with guns .

It was quite obvious that Denton was dead as soon as the car entered that cargo place. Georgia Trotman was the most surprising imo, probably followed by Jackie Laverty and then maybe Corbetts.

How about Marcus Thurwell. When we were all told their would be a huge cameo in the episode. Their were a lot of rumours who it could be. When we found out it was James Nesbit as Thurwell even though they said his character was dead. Because it was James Nesbit who is a big name British actor we all thought the character was still alive and had faked his death. we were all shocked to realise he was dead and James Nesbit's role in the show was as a photo. For none British fans he was one of the dwarfs in the Hobbit trilogy. He played Bofur in the trilogy.
