BBC Line of Duty icon's 'brilliant' drama is climbing the Netflix charts

Netflix has just added a thrilling series to its library which originally aired on Channel 5 in 2018.

Line of Duty star Adrian Dunbar plays Jim, whose daughter Cathleen 'Cat' Hogan (Carolina Main) returns to Ireland following the mysterious death of her mother.

While her death is being presented as an accident, Cat begins to suspect her father may have had something to do with it.

All 12 episodes of the series, Blood, are available to watch on Netflix and the series has already made its way to number four on the UK Top 10 most-watched series chart.

Gráinne Keenan and Diarmuid Noyes also star as Fiona and Michael, Jim's other two children.

Fans took to IMDb reviews to share their thoughts, with suewaterall sharing: "Brilliant. Great cast, great acting, great story. Loved every minute."

Meanwhile anniebrodie called it a "bittersweet" drama, adding: "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 commented: "This is a wonderful series, it manages to pack so much in, drama, intrigue, deception, it's moving and engaging."

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

The action thriller was filmed in counties Meath and Kildare, and in Dublin.

Creator and writer Sophie Petzal previously spoke to RadioTimes.com about the show's success, 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."
