Line of Duty fans react to the series finale and some aren't happy

The finale of Line of Duty on Sunday night left some fans feeling 'disappointed' and Piers Morgan saying he felt 'underwhelmed'.

Viewers had been desperate to discover the identity of 'H' on Sunday night's programme and to find out why Supt Ted Hastings had given £50,000 to Steph Corbett, the widow of murdered undercover officer John Corbett.

The lack of drama in the hour-long episode left fans feeling disappointed that it 'wasn't dramatic'.

Viewers have taken to social media to react to the BBC One programme.

“Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the wee donkey. I did not wait 10 YEARS FOR THAT ENDING,” one viewer wrote.

Another said: "I love Line of Duty but that was such a disappointing final episode. My favourite part was Jo's dog at the end."

Former Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan labelled the ending “a tad underwhelming”.

However, others were more positive.

“Good job of wrapping it up but also leaving it relatively open to continue,” one Twitter user wrote.

Another added: “I actually really enjoyed that episode. Series 7 announcement ASAP please.”

Line Of Duty, which first aired in 2012, has been a ratings hit for the BBC, pulling in millions of viewers.

The penultimate episode earned an average of 11 million viewers and 51.7 per cent of the audience share, according to the broadcaster.

A seventh series of the hit drama has not yet been announced.

Vicky McClure, who plays DI Kate Fleming in the series, said in a tweet on Sunday the support for the programme “has been unreal”.

She added: “It’s not lost on me how lucky I am to be a part of Line Of Duty, not just because of the success of the show but the life long friendships we’ve all gained.”

Her co-star Martin Compston added on Twitter he hoped the programme will “deliver an ending you all deserve”.
