We have seen 3

4 is this Monday coming

I've caught up on the first 3, enjoying it so far. Why wasn't Aisling offered counselling?

E4 tonight

Yay!

I really enjoyed series 1 but went off series 2, dont like the blonde haired, english pc.
but has series 3 improved?

so upset to lose Gerry

I think it's better than 2.

thank you, @dapsnotplimsolls
i saw a snippet of the most recent episode and that drew me in to watch it

I think it gets better each series as we get to know them better

I’m disappointed we didn’t see more from Aisling going into the house!

Yes I had hoped for me tho mum hugged her and dad gave her names

I was a little confused why Annie couldn’t go to her mum’s funeral. Who would have killed her /why was it dangerous

Recap e4

https://reelmockery.com/blue-lights-series-3-episode-4-recap/

The wreath with a bullet was a threat.

The police found out there was a threat against Annie from the IRA. Her senior officer (can’t remember her name) said she had had a personal threat too in the past so sympathised.
ETA yes, the wreath with the bullet.

Think I cry in nearly every episode

As an aside - there is a really good documentary on iplayer called Once Upon a time about the Troubles. It really brought home to me (in my 40’s) how little we had been educated about the war and how much propaganda we had shoved down our throats in the 80s and 90s e.g Brits = good and Irish = bad. It is quite shocking in hindsight. Has anyone from the ROI or NI seen it? What did you think?

There is also one called once upon a time in Iraq too that is well worth a watch.

I’m from Belfast & watched it, thought it was great, very representative of my experience growing up in the 80s & 90s. It annoyed me at the end though as it acted like the GFA solved everything & quite clearly omitted the Omagh bomb which happened only a few months afterwards.

Ah the bullet. Thanks. I read that in the recap as well

A bullet in a completely black wreath. 😥

Annie looks like Sophie Ellis Baxter - does anyone else see it?

Yes - they have the same face shape, don't they?

Yes - glad it’s not just me!

I’ve noticed that everything is blue again! Next time you watch, just look at the decor as well as the tones of the light. In one scene yesterday (can’t remember whose room/house it was), all the accessories were blue - plant pots, picture frames, etc

I thought the actress playing Grace was brilliant when she was talking to Lindsay , made me cry .

This programme just gets better and better .

Yes Grace revealing some of her childhood makes sense to how she is
