Blue Lights - Greg - 11-17-2025
Police procedural set in Belfast. It's kind of like the Rookie but much more realistic. And like almost every detective novel I have ever read set in Northern Ireland it's kind of bleak, but I'm down for it.
Through the six episodes, the show follows three probationary constables and their more experienced partners driving around Belfast. Their main opponnent is a drug gang in one neighborhood. The constables are constantly thwarted in their efforts by the populaces distrust of the peelers and their own government seeming protecting the drug gang in the hopes of tracking the drug gang to bigger operatives.
The whole show for the first season (only six episodes) was really good. Some really twisted things happen. You get a slice of life for what the Belfast officers go through. The accents are as thick as coffee left on the burner for two days. I can't wait to watch the remaining two seasons.
One thing that might be unclear for the uninitiated, one of the ways the IRA funds their operations is by selling drugs.
