    Another great season! Though not as slick as the earlier ones, but it keeps you engrossed in the proceedings. Great work by the writers!

    My wife has been watching for 5 years. I started this last season (5). The series seemed decent up to the last 15 minutes of the last episode. I have never seen such an insipid wrap up twisting everything so artificially - so bad that once it started, I was telling my wife what was going to happen and it did. Utterly brainless garbage. The writer, director, and production people whoMy wife has been watching for 5 years. I started this last season (5). The series seemed decent up to the last 15 minutes of the last episode.

    As ever, nothing is wasted; not a scene, not a line, not a beat. For every morsel of information gathered by the team and by the viewer, another turn reveals 100 hidden possibilities. It fits together flawlessly.

    If the new season falls slightly short of the show’s usual standard, it’s because neither this character (this season’s antagonist) nor the performance in the role is as interesting as its predecessors. Otherwise, all the elements are in place.

    Duty returns with a taut, screw-turning examination of an undercover officer gone rogue--the kind of slow-burn drama that earns your devotion. [17/24 May 2019, p.90]
