I’d be inclined to watch James Nesbitt in just about anything he did, so it doesn’t take much to lure me to
Bloodlands when I see Jed Mercurio (
Line of Duty, Bodyguard) is a producer.
In truth this 4 part Irish police drama is written by actor-writer Chris Brandon (
Red Rock, Clash of Futures) and takes place in Belfast.
Nesbitt plays Detective Tom Brannick, a single dad whose wife was killed two decades ago by the IRA. Daughter Izzy ( Lola Petticrew) is a university, a student of attractive lecturer Tori (Lisa Dwan), who takes an interest in her father’s case.
