I have to say, initially I was sceptical about watching Blue Lights, generally I find Northern Irish productions can be quite irritating, I'm from here so I can indeed confirm that when I seen this advertised I thought here we go again...
Alas I was pleasantly surprised, contrary to some of the user reviews on here that have picked this show apart, there is no maximum age for recruits into the PSNI, so a 41 year old joining is not some kind of dramatic oversight, it does occur more than you would think. The characters are for the most part convincing,and the criminality portrayed in some of the dodgier areas of Belfast does actually occur and I commend the producers of Blue Lights for portraying these activities fairly accurately. You have to remember that this show is shown to a UK wide audience and the accents have been toned down for this and I thinks that it works. Overall it comes across as a fairly sympathetic portrayal of modern day Policing in Northern Ireland in general. Recommended!
What's not to like? Rolling thunder is a catch all for 70's cinematic indulgence, a top notch cast, and a revenge plot. Devane is understated as always and Tommy Lee Jones is superb. Recommended!!
