Line of Duty Fans Are Hooked on ‘Absolutely Fantastic’ New Six-Part Police Drama Hit Point

A £10 million cash robbery, three masked criminals and two detectives pulled deep into London’s underworld set the stage for Hit Point, a new six-part police drama that viewers are already racing through.

Starring Nick Blood and Saffron Hocking as detective partners Leo and Bella, the fast-paced series mixes a high-stakes criminal investigation with shifting loyalties, dangerous secrets and a personal connection between its two leads that threatens to complicate everything.

For viewers waiting for more Line of Duty, the combination of twists, police work and moral uncertainty has quickly made Hit Point another crime thriller worth watching.

A £10 million robbery starts the investigation

The case begins when three men wearing animal masks intercept a Range Rover carrying £10 million in cash.

Detectives Leo and Bella are assigned to investigate, but their search for the people responsible soon takes them much further into London’s criminal world than expected.

As the investigation develops, the distinction between the detectives’ professional responsibilities and their personal lives becomes increasingly difficult to maintain. Their growing chemistry adds another layer of uncertainty to a story where the audience may even find themselves questioning whether they want the criminals to be caught.

The official description teases that “all is not as it seems,” with loyalty, secrets and relationships becoming increasingly important as the case unfolds.

Viewers say they were ‘hooked’

Audience reaction has been enthusiastic, with several viewers admitting they quickly binged all six episodes.

One fan praised the drama for having “lots of twists,” saying they watched the entire series in one go. Another highlighted the strength of the acting and writing, singling out Saffron Hocking as a particularly charismatic lead.

Others have become invested in the relationship between Bella and Leo and the way it affects the wider criminal storyline.

One viewer said the series had them “hooked HOOKED” and immediately called for a second season, while another simply described Hit Point as “absolutely fantastic.”

Who stars in Hit Point?

Nick Blood, whose credits include The Day of the Jackal and Slow Horses, stars as Leo, while Top Boy actress Saffron Hocking plays Bella.
