by

Okay, so I just heard some awesome news for fans of Blue Lights! This show, which won a BAFTA and is set in Belfast, is now available on a new streaming service here in the UK. Seriously, everyone’s been raving about it – critics love it, viewers love it, and some people are even saying it’s the gold standard for police dramas. I’m stoked I’ll be able to easily watch it now!

I’m so excited – the first season of Blue Lights is now streaming on U, completely free! You can watch all six episodes right now.

This series centers around three newcomers to the Belfast police force as they navigate the challenges and risks of their new careers. The show features Siân Brooke in a leading role, alongside Katherine Devlin, Nathan Braniff, and Richard Dormer.

If you’re disappointed that Line of Duty is over – and many of us are – then definitely check out this excellent, fun, and well-made police drama.

One viewer called it exactly what a police drama should be, saying it’s a show that will make you laugh one moment and feel deeply emotional the next.

The drama series Blue Lights won the award for Best Drama Series at last year’s BAFTAs, after its second season aired.

The third season of Blue Lights premiered last September, and the BBC announced a fourth season even before the third season had finished airing.

Filming for season four is already underway in Belfast, and the BBC shared a preview of what the new season will be about last month.

Police constables Grace Ellis, Tommy Foster, and Annie Conlon have been working as response officers for three years and are stretched to their breaking point. They’re now dealing with a dangerous new problem on the streets that the police are struggling to contain.

The trial of Gerry Cliff for murder uncovers a hidden and dangerous secret, causing turmoil within the police force and throughout the city’s criminal network.

Grace, Tommy, and Annie are at a turning point in their lives, and as they make big choices about what’s next, they’re forced to confront a dangerous reality: the truth.

You can watch Blue Lights on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. The first series is also available to stream on U.
