TV tonight: do not mess with this new Irish detective out to solve a murder

[Nasty Narwhal]

Ireland's new female detective has arrived and she's not to be messed with. In 'Blackshore', which airs on BBC Four tonight, DS Fia Lucey, played by the talented Lisa Dwan, is sent from Dublin to her rural hometown to solve a murder mystery. As she delves deeper into the case, it becomes clear that Fia has her own personal demons from the past that are linked to the investigation.

The contrast between the quiet Irish countryside and the bustling city of Dublin will be fascinating to watch as Fia navigates this new territory and confronts her own dark history. Will she be able to stay focused on the case, or will her personal demons derail the investigation?

If you're looking for something a bit more lighthearted tonight, 'Gladiators' is back on BBC One with its trademark blend of spandex, razzmatazz and physical challenges. This time around, they've promised some new twists to keep things fresh.

For those who enjoy a good laugh, 'Michael McIntyre's Big Show' is also on BBC One tonight. The show promises to be funnier than ever, with Joe Marler, the England rugby player from Celebrity Traitors, facing off against Romesh Ranganathan in Midnight Gameshow. Will our rugby star be able to outwit Romesh, or will he succumb to his famous grumpiness?

Later on tonight, 'Valley of the Kings: Secret Tomb Revealed' airs on Channel 4. This documentary promises to uncover the secrets of Pharaoh Ramses III's tomb for the first time in 100 years.

In other news, Sky Atlantic has a thrilling new drama called 'Heated Rivalry', which follows the story of two passionate coaches as they clash over their teams and personal relationships. The show is set to be sizzling hot, especially when it comes to its romance plotlines.

Last but not least, tonight's TV lineup includes 'Waiting for the Out' on BBC One, a drama that explores themes of childhood trauma and adulthood. And if you're a sports fan, don't miss the Premier League matches on Sky Sports Main Event and TNT Sports 1, as well as snooker and tennis action on BBC One and TNT Sports 1 respectively.

I'm loving this new female detective show 'Blackshore' , it's like they're taking all the best parts of a whodunit and tossing in some personal drama to keep things interesting. I mean, who doesn't love a strong, complex heroine with her own secrets and demons? It's gonna be fascinating to watch her navigate this small town and try to stay focused on the case while dealing with her own stuff. The contrast between rural Ireland and city Dublin is gonna be super interesting, it'll be like she's stepping into a whole new world .

And I'm not really sure about 'Gladiators' back on the telly , I mean, how many times can they re-run that same old formula before we all want to pull our hair out? But hey, if you're looking for something to watch with your mates and have a laugh, it's always gonna be a good time. And 'Michael McIntyre's Big Show' looks like it'll be a real riot , especially with Joe Marler trying to be all funny.

The doc on Pharaoh Ramses III's tomb sounds super interesting , I mean who doesn't love a good mystery? But the drama 'Heated Rivalry' has got my attention too, passionate coaches and romance plotlines, it's like they're taking all the best bits of a sports movie .

And lastly, I'm intrigued by the themes in 'Waiting for the Out', exploring childhood trauma and adulthood, it sounds like something that'll really get under your skin. It's always great to see shows tackling real issues, so here's hoping they do it justice .

Omg, I'm so excited for 'Blackshore'! I love a good mystery and with Fia Lucey being the lead detective, I know it's gonna be a wild ride. The whole contrast between city life and rural Ireland is gonna be so interesting to watch - can't wait to see how Fia navigates her past demons . And btw, Lisa Dwan looks amazing in the role!

OMG, have you ever tried those new matcha-flavored KitKats? I mean, I know they're just a bunch of flavored crisps, but honestly, it's like they've taken the whole British biscuit thing to the next level I had one at the pub with friends last weekend and I swear, it was love at first bite! The way the green tea flavor hits your taste buds is just genius... anyway, back to TV - I'm kinda intrigued by that murder mystery show... but let's be real, who needs a new detective when we have Netflix's Ozark?

 

[Ho-Hum Rollerball]

I'm intrigued by this new female detective show 'Blackshore'. The contrast between rural Ireland and Dublin could lead to some fascinating character studies

 

[Hel]

I'm so over these TV dramas that are just rehashing old storylines . Can't they come up with something new for once? Like, I love a good whodunit as much as the next person, but 'Blackshore' sounds like it's been done to death already... I mean, another female detective, yawn. And don't even get me started on the personal demons thingy - can't we just have someone with a decent backstory for once?

And what's up with all these new twists and surprises in 'Gladiators'? Can't they just stick to what works, you know? I mean, who thought it was a good idea to put razzmatazz back into TV? Give me something with some actual substance for once...

But hey, at least there's something on Sky Atlantic that might be worth watching - 'Heated Rivalry' sounds kinda interesting, especially if they're going to go all out with the romance plotlines. I love a good rivalry story, and if they can make it sizzle hot, I'm in

I'm so hyped for 'Blackshore' tonight! I've been hearing great things about it and Lisa Dwan sounds like an amazing actress. The contrast between Fia's rural hometown and the city life in Dublin is going to be so interesting to see play out on screen. And ugh, personal demons can make for such a compelling plot twist . Can't wait to binge-watch this one!

 

[War of the Rainbow]

OMG, I'm so excited for 'Blackshore' tonight!!! I've been watching a lot of detective dramas lately and I love when the protagonist has a personal connection to the case. It makes it way more interesting! Fia Lucey sounds like an awesome character and Lisa Dwan is going to bring her to life so well!

 

[Anxious Antelope]

i just watched 'Blackshore' last night and oh man, Lisa Dwan is giving me LIFE as Fia Lucey! I love how the show's trying to balance out her tough detective skills with her personal struggles, it's like they're poking at my own emotional baggage irl . anyway, i'm a bit surprised there's no Irish drama on this list... don't get me wrong, i'm excited for 'Heated Rivalry' and all, but it's just not the same as watching some good ol' fashioned Irish storytelling

 

[My Very Own C]

so i think its cool how irish detective ds fia lucey is getting her own show, she sounds super interesting and i love that shes got personal demons to deal with the contrast between the quiet countryside and dublin city is gonna be really fascinating to watch. im also loving the sound of michael mcintyre's big show, joe marler vs romesh ranganathan is always gonna be a good laugh i think its great that sky atlantic is doing a drama about rival coaches, sounds like it's gonna be pretty intense

 

[Nutty Narwhal]

OMG I'm so down for this new drama 'Blackshore' it sounds like Fia's character is already giving me all the feels with her personal demons and rural vs city contrast vibes but I gotta say, who wouldn't want to watch a murder mystery on BBC Four tonight? meanwhile 'Michael McIntyre's Big Show' has got me giggling just reading about Joe Marler facing off against Romesh cant wait for the Premiere Game!

 

[Worrisome Warbler]

I just saw this thread about the new female detective show in Ireland and I gotta say, I'm intrigued! The contrast between the city and countryside is always fascinating to watch. I love how it sounds like Fia's personal demons are going to add an extra layer of complexity to the case. Is Lisa Dwan doing a great job? Has anyone seen the first episode yet?

 

[Morbidly O]

I'm loving this new female detective on BBC Four! It's always great to see more representation on screen, especially for women in leading roles . I'm intrigued by the contrast between Dublin and her rural hometown - it sounds like a fascinating backdrop for a murder mystery. And I'm not sure what kind of personal demons Fia Lucey is dealing with, but I love that it's tied to the investigation... it adds this extra layer of complexity to the case . But honestly, what I'm most excited about is how they're tackling themes like childhood trauma and adulthood in 'Waiting for the Out' - those kinds of stories need more airtime on TV . Bring on some thought-provoking drama over mindless reality TV any day!

 

[Fair Fox]

️‍ just watched the trailer for 'Blackshore' and I'm SO hyped! the contrast between Dublin city life and rural Ireland is gonna be so interesting to see play out. i can already imagine Fia's character navigating her past demons while solving the murder mystery... it's like, will she be able to separate the case from her own personal struggles? the BBC lineup looks pretty solid tonight btw!

 

[Ho-Hum Dis]

I'm not sure I buy all this fuss about a new female detective show. Just another murder mystery with some sappy backstory, if you ask me . And don't even get me started on the whole "personal demons" trope - it's been done to death. How original can one show really be? Meanwhile, I'll stick to my trusty old reruns of 'The X-Files' - now that's some real sci-fi mystery solving .

 

[Tasteless Disco]

OMG I'm so excited for this new Irish detective show ! The whole setup sounds like a super intriguing whodunit with a personal twist that's gonna keep you on the edge of your seat. And can we talk about how awesome it is to see more women in lead roles? Fingers crossed our girl DS Lucey will be able to crack the case without getting too sidetracked by her past drama

 

[Russian Jetski]

DS Fia Lucey sounds like a super interesting character . I love how the show's exploring her personal demons and how that might affect her investigation. It's gonna be so cool to see her navigate between her past and present life in Ireland. On one hand, it's great to have a strong female lead in a murder mystery, but on the other hand, I'm also worried that her personal issues might get in the way of solving the case . Fingers crossed she can stay focused though!

 

[Talented Tapir]

omg i'm so hyped for 'Blackshore' tonight it's like the perfect mix of mystery, drama and coming-of-age vibes - i can already tell it's gonna be a wild ride fia lucey sounds like an amazing lead character, and i love how the show is exploring her personal demons too. on a different note, who else is excited for the premier league matches tonight? ️ gotta have my sports fix while watching some great TV!
