Any Line of Duty fans looking for a new high-stakes police drama to watch while you await season seven, turn your attention to Hit Point. Viewers are hooked on the six-part series, which is billed as an "edge-of-your-seat" drama about two thirtysomething police officers whose investigation pulls them into London's criminal underworld.
With BAFTA-winning writer Howard Overman (Misfits) behind the script and David Caffrey (The Gentlemen, Peaky Blinders) directing, the series is definitely on my watchlist this August.
