A fourth added: “BBC what a gripping drama, literally had to cover my face most of it, really hard to watch. Brilliant drama, want more.”
“Absolutely brilliant! Heart in mouth stuff. Nail biting & emotional. I’m exhausted lol,” another fan concluded.
Crossfire also stars Harry Potter actor Lee Ingleby, Line of Duty star Anneika Rose and The Bay’s Daniel Ryan.
Bodyguard actress Keeley Hawes stars as off-duty police officer Jo and speaking recently about the series, praised her “non-passive” lead action role.

Keeley told Radio Times: “I’ve been asked, ‘How does this differ from other action-based pieces that you’ve done?’ Well, it’s the only one where I haven’t been passive.
“So something like Bodyguard, it’s an action thriller, but I wasn’t part of that action.
“So that was very exciting [on Crossfire] and very telling about the way that things have been.”
Crossfire is available to stream on BBC iPlayer now.
