Tonight, you can watch the Irish detective drama Blackshore on TV. The show, described as ‘gripping,’ centers around DS Fia Lucey (played by Lisa Dwan) who has to go back to her hometown after facing accusations of wrongdoing.
As Fia rebuilds her life, she starts looking into a disappearance in town. However, the case stirs up painful memories from her past, causing her significant emotional turmoil.
So, I’m playing this game and my character ends up back in her hometown, a place that still remembers her family’s really sad history. It’s a small community, everyone knows everyone, but it quickly becomes clear they’re all hiding something. There are secrets everywhere, and it feels like nobody’s telling the whole truth.

A new six-episode series starts tonight on BBC Four at 9pm, with the second episode right after at 9:55pm. New episodes will air each week, and you can also watch all episodes on BBC iPlayer after they’ve been shown on TV.
The Irish crime drama Blackshore first aired on RTÉ in February 2024. It stars a largely Irish cast including Rory Keegan, Stanley Townsend, Clara Fitzgerald, Orla Charlton, Dara Devaney, and Barry McGovern in supporting roles.
In a review giving it three stars, Digital Spy complimented the detective drama for its compelling portrayal of themes like regret, loss, and making amends. The review also noted that the show begins powerfully with a striking opening scene involving the character Fia, which effectively explains why she returns home.
The show truly shines during its exciting moments – whether it’s action-packed fights or important story developments. This is mainly because the actors are fantastic, have great chemistry with each other, and clearly care about the story they’re telling.
Viewers on IMDb generally liked Blackshore, giving it an average rating of 6.8 out of 10 based on over 2,700 reviews. One reviewer specifically praised its stunning visuals, editing, and music.
One viewer called the show “gripping” and “bingeworthy,” praising its suspenseful cliffhangers and the fantastic performance of the lead actress. They felt the actress perfectly embodied the character, especially considering the detective’s complicated past.
I saw another viewer saying this show is really good and totally worth checking out. They especially loved Lisa Dwan – said she gave an amazing performance and looked great, and that the whole cast was solid too. It sounds like everyone’s doing a good job!
Blackshore airs tonight on BBC Four and streams on BBC iPlayer.
