Netflix has obtained a new crime drama series featuring Line of Duty's lead actor from ITV.

In the latest crime thriller to hit Netflix, Stephen Graham stars as the lead in The Walk-In. The gritty drama, which originally premiered on ITV in 2022, follows the story of a journalist who teams up with an inside source in a neo-Nazi organization to expose their violent plans before they can strike again.

Based on a true story and written by the renowned Jeff Pope, the show centers around Graham's character, a reformed neo-Nazi named Matthew Collins. After being approached by the police, Matthew works with an undercover mole named Robbie Mullen (played by This Is England's Andrew Ellis) to infiltrate the dangerous group, who are determined to start a race riot in the UK.

The star-studded cast also includes Jason Flemyng, Dean Lennox Kelly, and Tracy-Ann Oberman. Originally airing in 2022, the five-part series is now available to stream in its entirety on Netflix.

Stephen Graham's portrayal of Matthew, who was once a member of the National Front and British National Party, has been praised by both critics and viewers. The show currently holds an 80% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has been hailed as "necessary" viewing for our current societal climate.

The series follows Matthew's journey as he becomes a mole for the anti-fascist magazine Searchlight, after participating in the 1993 Welling riots. He went into hiding in Australia for a decade before returning to the UK as an activist and lecturer against fascist ideologies.

In an interview on The Graham Norton Show, Graham shared how important this role was to him. "It's very close to my heart – it's a very poignant and powerful drama that's really relevant to what is happening today," he said. "I was a bit nervous at first about people's reaction to it, but the way it has been received is phenomenal."

The Walk-In has been described as intense and gripping, with a sincere message and important themes. The show's success can also be attributed to its star-studded cast, including Graham's This Is England co-star, Andrew Ellis.
