Blue Lights is back on BBC. Its well worth watching.
Seconded. Superb drama and if you haven’t seen the first two series then I can highly recommend them.

I don’t think the subsequent series were as good as the first one. There are some great bits to it involving the main characters but it’s more watchable in an easy viewing kind of way than really brilliant.Mikey Brown wrote: ↑Mon Oct 06, 2025 10:37 amWell… I’m on to season 3 now.paddy no 11 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 22, 2025 1:54 pm You'll know in 2 episodes if slow horses is for you or not, it doesn't change much as it progresses
It’s incredibly easy to watch, but more in a ‘so bad it’s good’ sort of way. Over-produced and under-written seems to be a real Apple TV hallmark.
I’m having fun watching it, which is a big thumbs up, but I’m sort of confused at the plaudits this show has received. I do feel for the actors though, this dialogue would take some real magic to turn around.

I haven't seen the latest season but it's certainly a good show up to that point.paddy no 11 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 30, 2025 10:44 pmAbsolutely agreeSandydragon wrote: ↑Wed Oct 29, 2025 5:39 pmI don’t think the subsequent series were as good as the first one.

From the trailer it looks like there's a massive budget increase for season 6 which is needed as 5 was quite dullSon of Mathonwy wrote: ↑Fri Oct 31, 2025 10:23 amI haven't seen the latest season but it's certainly a good show up to that point.paddy no 11 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 30, 2025 10:44 pmAbsolutely agreeSandydragon wrote: ↑Wed Oct 29, 2025 5:39 pm

Agreed that there's a drop in quality as it goes on. There is an inescapable problem that these are crap spies and yet, since they are the heroes, they must also be the best spies.
