What happened in the first series?

The show began with Lana Washington (Vicky McClure) and her co-worker Joel Nutkins (Adrian Lester) trying to figure out whether there was an active bomb planted in an estate flat bathroom.

Eventually the team realised the bomb was a dud but later found a man in a boot with a bomb strapped to him.

Lana carefully disabled the bomb and the estate residents were told to return to their homes.

But a bomb concealed in a van exploded and killed Lana's colleague and friend Joel leaving her distraught.

Throughout the series, the team put their brains together to figure out who the mastermind behind the bombs could be.

Eventually a bomb tragically takes another life of someone close to Lana - her brother.

As the series comes to a close, the team begin to suspect the bomber may not actually be terror related and they may be targeting the bomb unit specifically.

The final episode aired on February 27, 2022, on ITV at 9pm.
