Eager young detective constable Chloe Bishop is trying to prove herself to her battle-scarred colleagues as the dysfunctional anti-corruption unit focuses its glare on the enigmatic DCI Jo Davidson (the ever-exceptional Kelly Macdonald), the senior investigating officer on a murder case.
The events of season five means the dynamic is a little awkward, but our favourite bent copper-catching trio Superintendent Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar), DI Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure) and DS Steve Arnott (Martin Compston) are back on the case - but even they're struggling to know what to make of DCI Davidson.
Jo has been handed the reins for the investigation into the murder of Gail Vella, an investigative journalist. It's a high-profile case that has left detectives scratching their heads for a year, but when new information about a potential suspect comes to light, Jo's bizarre conduct makes it appear as if she doesn't intend to bring Vella's killer to justice after all.
Is Jo up to no good, or she actually on the right side of the line? You don't have long to find out, as we explain how to watch Line of Duty season 6 online from anywhere – and completely FREE on the BBC for those located in the UK.
