TV Shows Like Line of Duty
If you like Line of Duty, here are 11 similar TV shows — each with its current AI renewal verdict, so you can see which are still going and which have been cancelled.
BBC One · Crime · Line of Duty is renewed
Line of Duty works because it takes the procedural formula and makes the procedure itself the subject. You are not watching detectives solve a murder; you are watching them interrogate suspects and colleagues to find which officer has crossed the line. This focus on internal conflict, on the slow erosion of trust within an organization, gives the show real stakes. Every interview is tense not just because someone might confess, but because the investigators themselves might be wrong, might be the corrupt ones, might be stepping over their own lines in pursuit of a conviction.
The best shows like Line of Duty
1. True Detective
True Detective shares Line of Duty's skepticism about authority and the systems that claim to enforce it. The investigation itself becomes secondary to the personal and professional compromises revealed in the process, and the nonlinear structure means you are constantly reassessing who you trust and why.

The Closer centers on a detective whose unconventional methods and personality create constant friction with her own department. Like Line of Duty, it understands that the biggest obstacles to solving crimes are often the people you work with and the departments you work for.

More on shows like Line of Duty
Fans of Line of Duty tend to be drawn to shows that maintain this kind of paranoia within organizations. They want procedurals with friction built into the system itself, not just external enemies. They like tight writing where dialogue does real work, where a character's choice of words or a hesitation can change the meaning of a scene. They appreciate shows that are skeptical of authority and interested in how organizations protect their own, sometimes at the cost of justice.
The shows recommended here all explore corruption and compromise in some form, though they approach it from different angles. True Detective uses the murder investigation as a way to unearth personal moral failure. The Closer is interested in how a detective's methods and personality clash with the people she works with. 21 Jump Street explores the danger of deception and the cost of living undercover. Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent follows an elite unit investigating both crimes and corruption at the highest levels. Vigil takes the murder investigation offshore, setting a civilian police case against the tensions between police and military security. None of these shows is quite like Line of Duty, but all of them understand that the real conflict in a crime story is often about whom you can trust and why.
