I constantly see people gushing over Line of Duty and Happy Valley as if they are the only two British police procedural shows worth watching. I just finished season one of Blue Lights which was finally made available to watch in the US on BritBox and it was so much better than the first two shows I mentioned.
I loved and cared about all the main characters in the show including Jen as she definitely redeemed herself in the end. The writing and acting is so much better than Line of Duty that it's not even close. I also love a show that isn't afraid to kill off a main character even if it's heartbreaking for the viewers which seems to be popular with UK police shows. I've seen a few police procedural shows that take place in London but this is the first one I've seen set in Ireland and I'll definitely be looking for more of them to watch.
