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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
