TV Moments of 2011: The Shadow Line

On the surface, The Shadow Line looked like being yet another TV series about cops and robbers - that couldn't be further from the case. Despite The Wire being mentioned lazily in the hype, thanks to the central plot loosely having something to do with drug dealing - what we got was closer to State of Play as the conspiracy at the heart of the show widened.

In particular, Episode 2 is one to watch as both sides of the law close in on Wratten's driver, leading to some of the most tense television you'll see for a while - alongside the best use of train stations and the London underground since The Bourne Ultimatum.
