Line of Duty fans slammed Jed Mercurio s new series Bloodlands last night, which stars James Nesbitt as detective Tom Brannick, who re-opens the cold case for a serial killer in Northern Ireland.
When writer Chris Brandon first came up with the idea for Bloodlands five years ago, he never for a moment thought that the end product would be a prime-time series on BBC One. I think, in my head I was like, I m gonna make this for a fiver with my best friend, laughs the 39-year-old, who grew up in Strangford. I d been working as an actor in London for about 10 years and then I started writing and I ve been doing that full-time now for five years.
Bloodlands is Chris s first original drama series commission and the first drama from newly-formed production company HTM Television.
Northern Ireland can add another classic crime drama to its already weighty repertoire as Bloodlands, directed by Jed Mercurio, hits screens tomorrow evening.
