Bloodlands
9pm, BBC One
James Nesbitt stars in this Northern Irish crime thriller from executive producer Jed Mercurio. DCI Tom Brannick (Nesbitt) is on the case of the missing owner of an abandoned car, which he thinks might be the work of notorious serial killer Goliath – a criminal who was responsible for his own wife’s death decades before. Against the wishes of his colleagues, Brannick opens the Goliath cold case with his partner DS Niamh McGovern (Charlene McKenna) and soon uncovers suspicious gaps in the original investigation.

Elsewhere, she tries streetfood in the shape of scaligiozi, a fried polenta snack, and serves up steamed mussels in white wine with potato.

This weekend I got a sneak peek at
Bloodlands, devouring the first two episodes of the four-part Acorn TV/BBC One mini-series set in Northern Ireland. Folks, I will be needing the next two episodes posthaste. And you are going to be right there with me when the show is released in March.
What got me to pull the trigger on
Bloodlands is that it’s executive-produced by Jed Mercurio, the man behind
Bodyguard and
Line of Duty). The show comes from writer/creator Chris Brandon, and Mercurio’s involvement indicated that if nothing else, I’d be in for an edgy, compelling thriller and wouldn’t be bored. This was correct!
