Netflix has just dropped a gripping series onto its platform which first broadcast on Channel 5 back in 2018.

Line of Duty favourite Adrian Dunbar takes on the role of Jim, whose daughter Cathleen 'Cat' Hogan (Carolina Main) comes back to Ireland after her mother's puzzling death.

Meanwhile anniebrodie described it as a "bittersweet" drama, noting: "Great drama with an unusual storyline that had me jumping to conclusions early on. It all sorts itself out, working it's way to the poignant ending. Well worth watching."

Sleepin_Dragon remarked: "This is a wonderful series, it manages to pack so much in, drama, intrigue, deception, it's moving and engaging."

Whilst boomer-kris posted: "No one does family tragedy like the Irish. The cast is superb as is everything in this series, including the traditional music."

The crime drama was shot in counties Meath and Kildare, plus in Dublin. Creator and writer Sophie Petzal previously spoke to RadioTimes.com about the programme's triumph, saying it was "a really pleasant surprise".

She added: "Not because we didn't believe in it or didn't think it was good, it just felt like such an underdog.

"It was a tiny show that had broadcast on a channel in Ireland, and Channel 5 wasn't known for its drama at all.

"It could have just flown under the radar entirely and that wouldn't have been surprising, so to not only do really well figures-wise but the positive reaction felt like a really pleasant surprise."

Blood is on Netflix.
