Hit Point: The New Police Drama Winning Over Line of Duty Fans
If you’re missing the tension and high-stakes investigations of Line of Duty, a new six-part police drama is already giving viewers plenty to get hooked on.
Hit Point follows two London detectives whose latest case pulls them deep into the criminal underworld, blurring the boundaries between their professional duties and personal lives. The series stars Nick Blood and Saffron Hocking, with BAFTA-winning writer Howard Overman and director David Caffrey behind the project.
Viewers Are Calling It “Absolutely Fantastic”
Since its release, Hit Point has attracted enthusiastic reactions from viewers, with fans praising its twists, performances and fast-moving story.
One viewer wrote: “Binge watched it all….so, so good! Lots of twists. Loved it.”
Another praised the writing and acting, particularly Saffron Hocking’s performance as Bella, describing her as a charismatic lead with a “big future ahead.”
Other viewers were equally impressed. One fan said they were completely hooked by the relationship between Bella and Leo and the consequences it has for Leo’s criminal operations, while another simply called the series “Absolutely fantastic.”
A Ten-Million-Pound Robbery Sets Everything in Motion
At the centre of Hit Point are detective partners Leo, played by Nick Blood, and Bella, played by Saffron Hocking.
Their latest investigation begins when three men wearing animal masks intercept a Range Rover carrying £10 million in cash. As Leo and Bella work to uncover what happened, the case takes them into increasingly dangerous territory.
But the mystery is only one part of the story. Their investigation also brings an unexpected romantic tension between the two detectives, creating another complication as their personal and professional lives begin to collide.
The series itself poses a provocative question: do the detectives actually want to catch the criminals?
With secrets, shifting loyalties, sharp humour and high-stakes action, the drama keeps its characters guessing over who they can trust — and what might happen when those secrets finally come to light.
Nick Blood And Saffron Hocking Lead The Cast
Nick Blood, known for The Day of the Jackal and Slow Horses, stars as Leo, while Saffron Hocking, whose credits include Top Boy and The Devil’s Hour, plays Bella.
They are joined by Peter Serafinowicz as Carter, a former police officer, and William Abadie as crime boss Pascal Dubois.
The supporting cast also includes Brendan Coyle, Nadia Parkes, Moe Bar-El, Ossian Perret and Joshua Sher.
Behind the camera, BAFTA-winning writer Howard Overman, known for Misfits, has written the series, while David Caffrey, whose credits include The Gentlemen and Peaky Blinders, directs.
For viewers searching for another tense police drama packed with twists, complicated relationships and criminal intrigue, Hit Point is now available to stream on U.K. television service U.
