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.

After finding three bodies on an island in the Belfast Lough, DCI Tom Brannick, played by James Nesbitt, carried on with his investigation into Goliath – a serial killer responsible for four deaths leading up to the Good Friday Agreement and believed to be somebody within the police.
