Taking to social media, one fan commented: "Tense complicated relationships, great plotting, nice pacing, wicked dialogue and clearly defined characters - Blue Lights has it all."

A second wrote: "Brilliant actors, wonderful setting, super script and storylines. Recently watched the first series which confirmed my view that it's the best drama for years. Reminds me of how I felt watching the initial outing of Line of Duty."

"Seriously. Blue Lights is EXCEPTIONAL television, screaming at the scenes," said a third.

While a fourth commented: "Lovely to have Blue Lights back. Gives a sense of the real problems facing the police in modern UK society."

Last month it was revealed Blue Lights had already been recommissioned for a third and fourth series before season two even aired.

"The BBC have been exceptional partners who have helped us elevate the show.

"A big thank you from everyone in the Blue Lights team for the faith and support given to our show; we are working with the best people.

"There are so many more stories to tell and we can’t wait to get going again with the Blue Lights squad in Belfast.”
