Few Irish series arrive and too many cop ones. Blue Lights is closer to The Thin Blue Line or Damnation than Line of Duty . In this story of veterans instructing rookies there is a close approach and a peaceful pace to develop several parallel plots. The creators are Adama Patterson and Declan Lawn, who had already written series of a certain craftsmanship and personal stamp such as The Undeclared War or Death in Salisbury.
The script has maturity in the development of characters and a plot structure free of exhaustive investigations, chases and permanent twists. It's a drama rather than a thriller, internalizing the tension that agents experience when they start work. The great advantage is that the veterans are not a collection of sages and sourpusses who long ago stopped believing in justice and the law. In this sense the series is nuanced and measured, with a cast that conveys empathy with very natural compositions.
In short, a series that once again demonstrates that it is not important to tell a story that we have seen many times, but that this new reading has drama, characters and a different language when it comes to developing them.
