Bloodlands

I’ve had a look on Google to see if there’s any mention of a third series. The tv critic for the Belfast Telegraph thinks we need one.

We were so disappointed with the final episode……so many questions to answer…so many loose ends..Surely it can’t be left like that!!

Should have finished with this series. Too unbelievable and pity his daughter didn’t shoot him! He’s a great actor tho.

We found the ending frustrating and annoying. Having watched both series this last episode was a prime example of writers not knowing if it will be renewed so deciding to leave a small opening for it to continue no matter how much it stretches the storyline.

I didn’t understand why the explosion didn’t go off when Izzy opened the bag of gold.

I think the possibility of another series will hinge on whether Brannick is dead. I’m not convinced that he was fatally wounded last night. I’d have liked a few more episodes to see how his daughter reacted to the devastation of discovering her beloved father was a cold blooded killer. Also his fellow officers who were approaching the final scene before it abruptly cut off. Too many loose ends for me.

I too think it might be a third series after the ending. I have enjoyed it but cant see how much further it can go.

I was disappointed. I rather wish it had come to a definite end.

A third series? Do you think so?

Did James Nesbitt die? Did he kill his wife in the first series? Will his dastardly deeds be found out?

Everybody lying presumably dead, not much left for another series surely?

That was a disappointing ending and presumably has left it open for a third series.

I’m really enjoying this series. Like James Nesbitt as an actor. Looking forward to the final episode on Sunday. Still quite a few questions to be answered. My only criticism is Victoria Smurfit’s acting.

I bet his wife reappears at some point...

I too hope he’s caught out in the last episode. We are thoroughly enjoying this series, it’s taught, unpredictable and for us a must watch.

I’m hoping it doesn’t go to yet another series Calendargirl without uncovering his vile deeds. I think he was beginning to show cracks after Birdy’s killing .

I’m looking forward to seeing how it all unravels for him in the final episode.

I’m gripped but agree, some scenes are shocking. Imo,
Victoria Smurfit would look much better without the ‘work’ she’s had done on her face. I understand some of the pressures female actors are under but faces that have had work rarely look better

I don’t think there will be another series - they’ve shown his hand too much in this one. And despatched a major character. The last episode was shocking.

Does anyone think James Nesbitt will get his comeuppance in the final episode next week, or will he live to fight another day in Series 3?

Far fetched, but I have enjoyed this series very much.

T&R is Trial and Retribution Bea, a police series a few years ago.

Victoria Smurfit is an Irish actress,was in Ballykissangel, also years ago.

Such a shock at the end of the last episode.
I don't really know who Victoria Smurfit is.
But, I do think James Nesbitt's eyebrows need mention. So dark, thick and mobile. Have they been dyed? They change with each episode.

SORRY what is T&R? Agree with comments about face make-up from episode 1-4 her makeup seems to have dried up on forehead and then in episode 4, she looked so different..maybe was filmed over months..Nesbitt also looked like he is wearing eye liner beneath eye...maybe it my eyesight

Oh yes, cyberburg, thought I’d seen her before, I too liked T&R….she has had some work done ?…..I’m still enjoying Bloodlands though. Just 1 or 2 episodes left isn’t there?

Yes, her cheeks (and eyes) look like so many celebs do if they’ve had something done.

Trying to look like they did 20 years ago.

Just end up looking permanently startled, and frankly, weird.

Well VS needs to ask for her money back Calendargirl, her cheeks look very odd.

Just caught up with this.

Oh no! Birdy!

I think Victoria Smurfit has had some ‘work’ done.

She was very pretty in T&R.
