Line of Duty series five kicked off with a bang - but what did viewers think?

The fifth series of Line of Duty kicked off with a bang last night - but what did viewers across Nottingham think?

BAFTA-winning actress Vicky McClure was back on our screens to much delight, but some viewers seemed to see Bodyguard writer Jed Mercurio's twist from a mile off.

Some people even thought it was a little too violent this time around.

We've compiled a few of the best tweets from the first episode which aired at 9pm on Sunday, March 31.

Here's what you thought of the very first episode of the highly anticipated series - including the appearance of a Forest mug!

High praise for Vicky McClure

'I guessed that twist five minutes in'

The twist was spotted by many viewers from a mile off on the night, it seems...

Too much violence?

One viewer did not think much to the high levels of violence throughout, what did you think?

No spoilers today, please...

While many jumped on their sofas for a Sunday evening of high intensity police drama, others unfortunately missed it.

Good luck to those who did, there will be plenty of spoilers doing the rounds today.

New recruit?

Some viewers loved it so much, they decided to hastily draw a balaclava on their face on Snapchat.

Can't fault the commitment...

The next episode will air next Sunday at 9pm.
