The accuracy is laughable. Episode 1 the lady on thE republican estate swinging two kitchen knifes. The PSNI aren't going to try and talk to her while she's jabbing them towards member of the public. It would be straight out of the car with taser or more likely in NI a side arm pointed right at her, shouting for her to drop them. Not this softly sweet talk approach.

I'm 4 deep and think it's brilliant. Right up there with Line Of Duty for me, really intense stuff.
Same really enjoying it. Got me immersed early on.I see above people say its not a patch on happy valley. I have never seen it so if thats actaully better i look forward to watching it as well.
Finished Blue Lights tonight and the ending didn't disappoint, really enjoyed and hope for a follow up series.
Are you suggesting it gets much better, or we just have different taste?
A lot of the details and procedures are shall we say, interesting.
My biggest wtf was the probationers seemingly calling the shots, particularly just ignoring their tutors. But this was particularly bad in episode 1.
I was going to bin the whole thing but something made me keep going. It’s a drama not a documentary. Pleased I did though as I enjoyed how it developed and in the end thought a second series could be good.

I've only seen ep1. It seemed a bit silly, but was intriguing to see Belfast.
Parking the Police cars facing into the cul de sac, requiring a 3 point turn to getaway from trouble was a schoolboy error. The English woman officer parked her Skoda/Audi forwards in her drive too.

Ep 2 so far. The acting is awful. The accents are worse. The Sergeant has her stripes upside down. The continuity is laughable and it's just not credible.
If it doesn't markedly improve, I'm out.
The sergeants stripes are the correct way for PSNI. HTH with the credibility If it doesn't markedly improve, I'm out.

I don't expect it to mirror reality but some things make you sit up and say WTF. Like the female cop disobeying orders to withdraw from the out of bounds area leading to the officers coming under attack. Ditto with her giving the same woman a lift home in her personal car.

Glad I stuck with it as the last couple of episodes were reasonable though.
