Police procedural but quite spooky. Not perfect, a bit muddled and a bit sketchily scifi (mostly just hinted at until near the end of the series). I thought the characterisations were generally really good and I'll definitely watch the second series.
It ends on a cliffhanger so
Just caught the first series of Blue Lights another police drama, based in Belfast where partisanship and hatred is still strong. Gritty, obviously a bit violent at times but engrossing, rookie cops trying to cope feature strongly. Second series on the way and I'll watch that too.
I couldn't say, I usually give it at least a whole episode before deciding! I can't recall the first 10 minutes.
An exception was The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin which I stopped after 10 or 15 minutes. Silly with awful gags, but tried again and found some enjoyment because there's eventually a good line up of comedic actors (excluding Noel Fielding who has failed for me since the enjoyable The Mighty Boosh) including the wonderful Mark Heap, Greg Davies and even Hugh Bonneville, who all make it worth watching for me. Silliness isn't always a turn-off.
