Blue Lights Ratings & Reviews
- jam7410March 27, 2025Grim, gritty, solid
- CallumOctober 22, 2025⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (6/5 stars isn’t even close) “Blue Lights” isn’t just a police procedural — it’s Warhammer 40K with handcuffs. Every episode feels like it’s set in a grimdark Belfast where hope is the Emperor’s least favourite son, and every rookie cop is just trying to survive another shift in a world that actively hates the idea of law and order. The tension doesn’t simmer — it howls like a banshee through the bullet-pocked streets. You can practically smell the fear, sweat, and cold rain in every frame. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, “The Rookie” looks like the Saturday-morning cartoon adaptation of the same profession. If Blue Lights is a bolter-round to the chest, The Rookie is a glittery friendship bracelet — all smiles, hugs, and moral lessons wrapped in soft-focus lens flare. It’s not even apples and oranges; it’s grim determination versus My Little Pony: Patrol Unit Harmony. So yes — six stars out of five isn’t enough. If there were a scale that went to “holy Emperor, I can’t breathe,” Blue Lights would break it every season.
- UN1BALLOctober 19, 2025Absolute Classic comedy gold, could be right up there with Give my head peace in 20 years time. Glad to see some good comedy coming out of Northern Ireland again. I know the P.S.N.I (Police Service No Investigation) are a joke but to make a BBC comedy series of it is golden.
