I am unsure whether Bloodlands needed to return. It ended with DCI Tom Brannick (James Nesbitt) being revealed as Goliath and getting away with murders.
The second series opens with a flashback from 1998. Brannick carried out a hit on gun runners and found some bars of gold on a shipment of arms.
In the present day Brannick is investigating the death of an accountant with underworld links. He also meant to looked after the gold. The accountants wife Olivia Foyle (Victoria Smurfit) seems to be more involved than she lets on.
The opening episode was cold and moody. It was a tribute to those scandi crime dramas. Only DCS Jackie Twomey (Lorcan Cranitch) came across as a real person.
Still it was decent enough. It made me think if Brannick will get away with it again by the end of the series so he can do more mournful stares.
