I wouldn't say LoD finished on a cliffhanger. The fourth man was identified, a lot of the other storylines could be interpreted as being tied up and there was some sort of closure to the murder trial that was one of the main threads of the series.

Having said that, it also leaves the door open to another series, where those 'tied up' storylines could be revitalised again. That's kinda what I was saying. It's over, until another season is announced. Clever writing, the more I think about it, TBH.

I remember watching a show called "By Any Means" which ended the first series with a cliffhanger of two protagonists pointing guns at each other then the screen going black as shots were fired (a bit like episode 5(?) of this series of Line of Duty). It was never recommissioned so it was never revealed what happened.

I wasn't disagreeing with you. There are enough threads left un-pulled for more story.

One of the biggest running strands - the historic paedophile ring stuff - still hasn't been satisfactorily sorted. Hopeful for a 7th to focus on taking the nonces down.
