Blue Lights



"Blue Lights" is a show about 3 Probationary Police Officers in the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and how they deal with the regular crimes (thief, assault, etc.) and crimes specific to North Ireland (terrorism from the IRA and the Loyalists, etc.)

The PSNI was founded in 2001 to replace the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) which was heavily Protestant-run and very anti-Catholic.

I have been to Belfast and other locations in Northern Ireland and it shows how things haven't really changed - just below the surface -  much since the Good Friday Peace Agreement in 1998.

"Blue Lights" is a good show even if you don't want to deal with the Sectarian aspect of NI.

It is like “The Rookie” in the US or “Rookie Blue” in Canada.
