      Graeme Blundell The Australian The stories are topical, brutal, tragic and mesmerising, treachery coming from all directions. Feb 23, 2022 Full Review Alexandra Heller-Nicholas Film International Bloodlands is a gripping, edge-of-your-seat police procedural with the legacy of Northern Ireland's political history burning deep in its belly. Rated: 4/5 Jun 16, 2021 Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine This slow-burning but not overlong mystery contains no wild, subversive stylistic flourishes; it's just a chilly, thoughtful, well-written and superbly acted story that connects specific, personal grief with the larger understanding... Apr 3, 2021 Full Review James Walton The Spectator Bloodlands is a drama whose heart lies in political debate rather than flat-out thrills. My advice is that it's well worth watching -- just don't expect Line of Duty. Jul 19, 2021 Full Review Harry Fletcher metro.co.uk Nesbitt is so impressive, in fact, it's a shame that most of the supporting cast of Bloodlands are drawn paper-thin. Rated: 3/5 Mar 23, 2021 Full Review Joel Keller Decider A solid drama that moves through its story efficiently without a lot of fuss. Mar 19, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

      Caroline I love this show and hope there is a season 3. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/16/23 Full Review Anita F Great performances. Just enough twists and turns to keep you wanting more. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Paul P You'll think you have it sussed, but part way through all logic shsattered as the viewers world gets turned upside down. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/24/22 Full Review Audience Member While it lost it's way a little during the middle, that was really just a bit of misdirection to keep us guessing and there were enough twists in the plot to keep us guessing until the end. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Yes, it's grim and not always entirely logical but it is thrilling throughout and has a really good twist. I also really liked the acting as well as the conections to Irish history. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review michał m Dark and surprising show. Some history of IRA too.
