What BollyAI Thinks

Series 5 aired in spring 2019 and registered the show’s first drop from a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score, settling at 90 percent. The series featured Stephen Graham as an undercover officer, and the mythology built across four prior years now left the narrative threads to grapple with longer accumulation. Praise centered on Graham’s performance and on the emotional toll Mercurio’s writing placed on the central trio. The conspiracy’s internal logic began to strain. Audience numbers remained enormous, with the show among the most watched dramas in BBC history, while the audience score on Rotten Tomatoes held at 94 percent overall.
