Blue Lights [BBC]

Watched it all on the player.

Enjoyed it, a solid 7.5 or 8/10 for me, even though some of the characters were a little stereotypical.

I watched episode one and the ex-social worker did my head in. It was as if she were talking to a four year-old all the time, no matter who she was talking to. I don't know if I can listen to her for another 5 episodes. 😜

Her stupidity is really annoying and distracting from what could be a good show. Only watched the first episode so maybe she gets better.

In reality, most social workers are as hard as nails with what they've had to put up with, and they can treat people with respect and humanity without treating them like children.

The Grace character, and how she acts, is a work of fiction. 😜

Just catching up on this now. Think it's interesting how they look at the different approach and moral compass of the officers, the new recruits as opposed to the old guard.

Causes problems in the organization.

Renewed

Excellent finish to the series, nicely wrapped up

watching first episode. Anyone explain why they didn’t charge the dangerous driver with dangerous driving?

What accent? He was brought up in Dublin, and he’s playing a Dub again, as he did in Love Hate.

Enjoyed this, looking forward to Series 2, however...

At the end of series 4(the full moon one) who was the actress who spoke with the ombudsman? I recognise the voice but not the face.

Did RTE pick this up yet or did I miss it?

I believe Series 2 release is imminent, saw a promo on BBC advising to catch up on Series 1 before 2 is released. They have also renewed for 2 more series.

Looking forward to this tonight!

It's already on iPlayer.

Loyalists this time. Presumably series 3 has Alliance party criminals.

Solid episode 1 of season 2 I thought.

Finished S2, thought it was a good improvement over S1.

I've only seen the first two episodes, but he only made a very brief appearance. So far.

I imagined that the 2nd series wouldn't be as good as the 1st given that Richard Dormer wasn't in it, but I think it turned out to be better.

I didn't realise that Desmond Eastwood who plays the part of DS Murray Canning is the brother of Colum Eastwood the SDLP leader. That kind of thing seems to happen down here as well with people like Killian Scott being Eoghan Murphy's brother. Politicians are probably good actors as well. 😛

I finished it last week. I thought Season 1 stood up better. I hadn’t rewatched S1 but I wasn’t sure who DrugMammy was. The woman the two estate leaders were getting their split from and contract on the ground the the “Dublin fellas”.

Seemed more like a general fallout season after S1 and I wasn’t convinced with the ending as a vacuum wouldn’t have existed for king so the estate probably wouldn’t have all been so happy.

And, yes, part of the duties of a PSNI officer appear to be available to get off with and ride your fellow officers 😀

Great finale to S2, quite enjoyable.

It's been renewed for two more series, something to look forward to.

Desmond Eastwood is not related to Colum Eastwood the politician.

He does have a brother called Colum but he is a filmmaker.
