The six-part police drama Blue Lights is set in Belfast. Not only a politically and socially difficult environment for a police officer, but also an extremely dangerous one given the increasing drug violence. Blue Lights is very good. What works well is the interaction between the three barely prepared agents in training and their more experienced colleagues. Of great added value is the ample attention to the personal backgrounds of the rookies. The wheel is not reinvented in Blue Lights, but the doubts and fears are convincingly portrayed. Blue Lights has a fast pace with quite a few storylines during the first season. Storylines that are not always well rounded (including those of everyday racism). Credibility is also under pressure here and there.
But it is exciting. This is mainly due to the excellent screenplay by makers Declan Lawn and Adam Patterson, who previously worked on The Salisbury Poisonings and The Undeclared War. The somewhat older newby Grace Ellis (played by Siân Brooke - Trying, The Terror) also adds a dimension through her experience and natural persuasiveness. Comparable to the best British series such as Happy Valley, The Responder and Line of Duty, Blue Lights is a small highlight in the 2023 series season.

Only six episodes in this first season of this excellent Irish police series, but each one is worth watching. In fact, everything just gets better as the plot lines progress. The characters are fascinating from the moment they are introduced and the series is also visually very strong. And the best news: there will be a second series!
