To hear our review of the show, listen to the latest episode of Backstage, the film and TV podcast from Sky News. Intergalactic is available on Sky One and streaming service NOW. "I think timing is always key, as you know, in television, and I think now is that time." I think there's so much more to it, and it's reflected in Julie's scripts - it's so rich and layered, and how often do you switch on the telly and see a massively diverse, strong female-led ensemble? It just doesn't happen. I think with Intergalactic, you can't just put it in a science fiction/ drama. The show is written by the award-winning Julie Geary, who known for her female-led dramas including Prisoners' Wives and Secret Diary Of A Call Girl, and has a cast of recognisable faces including Poldark's Eleanor Tomlinson, Sex Education's Sharon Duncan-Brewster and Natasha O'Keefe, from Peaky Blinders.Īnd Parkinson says while it is set in space, it can't easily be categorised.

"Because it's not black and white - he's not the bad guy or there was more to it - and we hit upon a tone that was almost Lynchian, it's almost like a David Lynch character, very clinical, quite anal, but needs to be in control. "We started to discuss this character that initially I was quite afraid to take on because it was very different to anything I've ever done," he says. The actor says it wasn't until he talked about the character with director Kieron Hawkes that he was sure it was right for him. Parkinson plays the mysterious Dr Benedict Lee, a leader whose motives aren't immediately clear. The show follows a group of female criminals on the run through space, and a wrongly accused police officer forced to help them.

In the UK, the first episode of the latest series was the most-watched drama launch since 2013 and had the highest ever. The Line of Duty US release date sees the show coming to BritBox just a few weeks after it will have ended across the pond on BBC1.

There's also more to explore in Osbourne's suppression of police corruption more broadly.Įven though there was some frustration at how the finale reflected real world concerns over fantasy, it's probably more important now than ever with scrutiny over police conduct in the news across the world. There are still loose ends to explore, not least the OGCs who Ian Buckells was working with, as well as the other corrupt serving officers who had to have abetted his plans for them to fully work. Specifically, what happens to Ted is a big cliffhanger, but there are also suggestions in the finale that the H reveal wasn't as complete as it may have initially seemed. Even without the specter of H - or the "fourth man" - and the Caddy still holding sway over everything, there is more than enough potential to continue Anti-Corruption investigations in the police force. To paraphrase Ted Hastings, Line of Duty cares about one thing and one thing only, bent coppers.
