But please can we find out who H is?

If you're obsessed with Line of Duty then you'll be excited to know that the smash hit BBC series will be back for another series! And hopefully we will have some of our questions answered!
Who actually is 'H'? Will the balaclava gang finally get their comeuppance? and will DS Steve Arnott and DS Sam Railston finally get back together?
POLLY WALKER'S CHARACTER 'GILL' IS BOOKIES FAVOURITE TO BE 'H'
But we might have to wait until at least MARCH 2020 to find out those answers, that's if this Sunday's 90 minute extravaganza does not come to a neat and tidy end. And in true Line of Duty style, the likelihood of this happening is slim but 10 million of us will still tune in anyway!
Will you have nothing to watch on a Sunday after Line of Duty finishes? Check out our Netflix suggestions, perfect for satisfying those Sunday blues
The Good Place

Come for the entry level philosophy jokes and Jameela Jamil's acting debut, stay for the genuinely jaw-dropping plot twists.

Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life
There are few things more reassuring than a chapter of Gilmore Girls, and the four feature-length episodes that make up Netflix's Year In The Life reboot, set ten years after the show's final bow, have all the qualities we love. There's the speedy script, delivered at break-neck pace by Rory (Alexis Bledel) and Lorelai (Lauren Graham), the soothing backdrop of Stars Hollow, the same low-stakes romantic dramas and coffee. So much coffee. Though the ending - spoiler alert - has proved divisive, it's still the perfect comfort watch.

Queer Eye
If anything can ward off a Sunday night mood-spiral, it's the combined charm offensive of Queer Eye's Fab Five. In each episode of the newly rebooted makeover show, Jonathan, Tan, Karamo, Antoni and Bobby are tasked with transforming the life of someone (unlike the Noughties original, the show's subject doesn't have to be a 'straight guy') who's feeling a little lost, whether that means overhauling their wardrobe, teaching them to chop avocados or instilling them with some much-needed confidence. It's heart-warming stuff that'll encourage you to, in the words of Jonathan, 'just like own your own space, and stuff.'
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is televisual serotonin. It's hard not to be charmed by the relentlessly sunny Kimmy (Bridesmaids' Ellie Kemper) as she adapts to life in New York after being liberated from an underground doomsday cult, but best of all are the gang of supporting characters: her musically-inclined roommate Titus (Tituss Burgess), her erratic landlady Lillian (Carol Kane) and her glamorous trainwreck of a boss, Jacqueline (Jane Krakowski).
Glow
Big hair, neon and a whole lot of spandex: GLOW transposes Flashdance's underdog story to the hyper-camp world of '80s wrestling, with an added dose of female empowerment. Alison Brie stars as Ruth Wilder, a struggling actress whose last-ditch attempt at success leads her to try out for an all-female wrestling league. Consider it the cheerier cousin of Orange Is The New Black (the shows share an executive producer, Jenji Kohan).
Lovesick
An STI diagnosis forces Dylan (Johnny Flynn) to reconnect with his former partners: if the premise sounds familiar, that's because the show formerly known as Scrotal Recall was first broadcast on Channel Four a few years back. Happily, it was saved by Netflix, given a more, ahem, palatable name, and is now in its third season. Think of it as an extended, more foul-mouthed Richard Curtis comedy, populated with characters you've probably met on a night out.
Crazy Ex Girlfriend
Don't be put off by the title. To paraphrase the show's theme song (yes, there's songs. Lots of songs), Crazy Ex Girlfriend is 'a lot more nuanced than' re-hashing boring relationship tropes. The brainchild of writer and comedian Rachel Bloom, the series follows compulsive over-achiever Rebecca (also played by Bloom) as she decides to pack in her high-flying city job and move to California, following a random encounter with a childhood crush. Even if you're not a musical fan, Bloom's songs and scripts have a knack of skewering everything from relationships to mental health.

She said: "I'm sure you're all well aware, there's still another series to go and there's lots of details". She also revealed people don't want to know who 'H' is.
"They say, 'Actually, you know what, don't tell me'. They want to keep it a secret, and they like being the detectives as well. If somebody gave you a spoiler, that would be so rubbish".
But there's still one episode of this series left so let's not rush things. Let's enjoy the time we have left with the show for now.
