A second added: "Really disappointed about #TriggerPoint was so looking forward to it when the trailers started just keep waiting for it to get good… is it just me?" Another agreed, writing: "Think her brother Karl's involved… not gripping me like I hoped it would.  #TriggerPoint."

Meanwhile, other TV fans are invested in the drama, which has been created by Line of Duty's Jed Mercurio. One even made a witty reference to Line of Duty in their review, tweeting: "Jesus Mary and a wee donkey *H* is back - it’s another inside job @Vicky_McClure #TriggerPoint… Tense though, great viewing x."

Are you a fan of Trigger Point?

A second fan was equally impressed and wrote on Twitter: "Watched the first 3 episodes of trigger point last night. Such a gripping watch. Can’t believe I now have to wait a week for the next one. Great drama #itv #TriggerPoint @Vicky_McClure @warrenisbrown."

The official synopsis from ITV reads: "Reckless and out of control, Lana is ex-military and pushed to breaking point dealing with a series of improvised explosive devices which threaten the capital during a terrorist summer campaign. 

"Under extreme pressure and searching for answers, Lana can't help but become suspicious that the bomber is premeditatedly targeting her unit. It's a terrifying thought, but against all odds, how does she prove it and discover the bomber's real identity?"
