The big socio-political themes are there, but never at the expense of the storytelling. If there is anything close to a successor to Happy Valley, it is surely this. It would be a disservice to say that Blue Lights is one of the best police dramas on television. It’s one of the best dramas full stop. Read full review

The Telegraph Benji Wilson

One that skips effortlessly from comedy to breakneck drama, profundity to arguments about cake. When you have writers and a cast who can sustain that tension, you have must-see TV, both effective and affecting. Read full review

Radio Times James Hibbs

Apr 15, 2024

In choosing to focus on more character-led stories this time around, and hints that we'll get to see deeper into the personal lives of the characters, Blue Light season 2 leans into its strengths and is all the more watchable for it. Read full review

The Guardian Jack Seale

Apr 15, 2024

By the time the credits roll, though, any Grace/Stevie shippers have been smacked around the head by a wisely observed reality check about what the pair’s relationship is really based on. In hard times, Blue Lights continues to skip deftly between light and dark. Read full review

The Times Carol Midgley

We also see the force being stretched to breaking point: fewer coppers on the ground, having to double as mental-health experts. The story is still warming up, but this is dense, rich soil, and these are the perfect writers to till it. Read full review

The Observer (UK) Barbara Ellen

While inevitably this second outing doesn’t feel quite so unexpected, Blue Lights continues to be big, brutal and vivid. Read full review

The Independent Nick Hilton

Apr 15, 2024

If the show lacks the narrative thrust to attract new viewers, it will undoubtedly satisfy those who were already invested in Grace, Annie, and Tommy’s progression through the ranks of the constabulary. But in a genre begging for fresh ideas, you have to try a little harder to stand out. Read full review
