Guys. We need to talk about Line of Duty last night because I’m having heart palpitations just thinking about it. By now, I feel as though we really should be used to Jed Mercurio leaving us on some of the biggest cliff hangers in British TV history, but last night???? How is he gonna do that to us????? And of course, straight after episode five of Line of Duty last night, everyone began to share the memes.

I need a second to come to terms with the Ryan and Kate shoot out, the return of Carmichael, Chloe having the entirity of AC-12 on her shoulders and then they just had to throw in Steve Arnott in his lil hat and uniform didn’t they? My blood pressure is not okay with it.

As always, Twitter was full to bursting with all the best and most hilarious reactions to all the drama. Here are the best memes about episode five of Line of Duty. Now we’re sucking diesel.
