“I know that many people gorged on the whole of Blue Lights weeks ago like a Christmas tub of Celebrations (and I don’t blame you) but it bears repetition: wasn’t the finale a cracker? The writers, Declan Lawn and Adam Patterson, have set a new standard for cop dramas because they rely not on big stunts and high drama but on character. Their storytelling comes from a gritty street-level perspective, digging into the smaller events that might be deemed uninteresting by flashier cop shows.”

“All this was old news, as was much of the detail in this hour-long programme. The first 20 minutes was largely a history of the internet, dreary padding that could easily have been cut.”
