Streaming

"Blue Lights" is back. Gerry may be dead, but the newcomers have to take the plunge as drugs and street thugs roam the streets of Belfast, and with a VPN, they can watch it from anywhere, and for free!

Some say the first season of "Blue Lights" went under the radar, but that's not quite true. The drama became a social media sensation among lovers of gritty detective dramas.

More akin to "Hill Street Blues" than "The Bill," the drama took us into the personal lives of new and veteran PSNI (Police Service of Northern Ireland) officers as they dealt with the problems they faced in the mean streets of Belfast.

As one of the producers put it, "'Blue Lights' is set in a very specific place. Although hyper-local, its themes are universal. Those themes are family, loyalty, hope in the face of despair, and the need to cope, never more so than when Gerard "Jerry" Cliff, a popular police officer played by Richard Dormer, is killed on duty.

A year later, the rookies are gaining experience, but the problem is real. In Season 2, a veteran leads a one-man revolution against the city's godfathers, wreaking havoc and running amok. [In this Season 2, a veteran single-handedly leads a revolution against the loyalist godfathers.

In the UK, "Blue Lights" Season 2 will be available for free streaming on BBC iPlayer on Monday, April 15 at 6am BST (1am EST/10pm EST) and on BBC One the same day at 9pm BST.
