Bloodlands.

I think it looks promising so far, and Jed Mercurio can usually be relied upon to write a decent drama.

Thank you, Grannyticktock; we managed to do it but it was like pulling teeth. Unfortunately, subtitles doesn’t work on ITV Hub. So much for super smart TV sets!

J enjoyed the first episode will definitely continue watching There are times when I can't understand the accent, not so much with James Nesbit, he's quite prolific so I'm probably attuned to his.

Yes it's a nuisance that ITV hub doesn't do subtitles. I have just purchased a new little gadget, called a Handy Wireless Speaker, which you connect up to the TV and it enhances the sound, especially recommended for clarifying speech. It cost about £145 but I am delighted with it. I hope not to need subtitles so much now. (Always said it was the TV's or the actors' fault, not mine, if I couldn't make them out!)

Well, didn't see tonight's ending coming!!
Should be last night's as it's 1 am, sorry.

Me neither!

I was shocked too! So is he Goliath? Or protecting Twomey?

I didn't expect that!!!

I'm enjoying it and my friends and I are working out where they have been filming it coming from N.Ireland. Oh and I have the accent Kircubbinn2000. Proud of it!

Nor me Nana3 and it's left me rather confused .

I thought Goliath could be Lorcan Cranitch’s character, but a bit obvious.

I don’t like James Nesbitt so won’t be sorry if he turns out to be the baddie. Even if he isn’t though, surely he shouldn’t just be shooting people?

And how could the doctor’s dad be the other dead one? I thought he was a priest?

Bent coppers! Call in Ted Hastings!

Can't wait for the next episode.

Not unknown for priests to father children Calendargirl.

Has there been a series before? I found it a difficult to get into, but managed to tune in by about the middle of the programme. We’ll carry on watching I think.

I actually started to watch McDonald and Dodds. Unbelievably awful. Switched to BBC.

I watched the first one but didn’t get into it I don’t know whether to try again or not seems mixed reviews on here

The dead priest is the doctor’s father.
I was shocked the Nesbit character didn’t involve the police when his daughter was kidnapped/returned.
I was even more shocked by the final scene.
Is his wife alive?
They need AC12 ?

Complette shock over the ending. Mind I did think shooting someone who was on oxygen seemsd a bit OTT easier ways to do it!

?. Good point trisher -

Yes, the end was completely unexpected and shocking!

We are on the edge of our collective chairs though and will be by our TVs next Sunday evening. It is quite exciting having to wait after endless binge watching during lockdown

Just discovered Denofgeek , which reviews dramas.I usually look at the Guardian review but that hasn’t caught up yet. It’s a useful read if you think you may have missed something in the plot!

We also use that den of geek! It’s very useful for complicated plot lines . We thought episode 2 was brilliant really enjoyed it . The accents are very accurate I think most of the actors used are from N.I. Best thing we’ve watched in ages !

Trisher ?
