Bloodlands launched with an average of 8.2 million viewers, making it the biggest new BBC drama launch since last June. In Northern Ireland, the premiere episode had a 52 percent consolidated audience share (live and time-shifted viewing), making it the highest BBC drama to launch locally on record. Following this success, the BBC have ordered a second series from writer Chris Brandon, who had his first original drama commission in Bloodlands.

Futon Critic, 1/27/23 AMC Networks press release says "Bloodlands Season 2 will premiere on Monday, February 6 with the first two episodes, followed by two episodes per week on Mondays through February 20 on Acorn TV..." By the scores on TVMaze it seems "some" folks liked it ok. We'll see.
A 2nd season for what? First season was crap and i only watched to waste 4 hours of my life. Background noise as i was doing other things, like taking a nap.
I watched all episodes hoping that James Nesbitt would shine again, like he did in Stan Lee's Lucky Man. Afterall, he's Harry Bosch's doppleganger! I was so disappointed on how episode 4 ended, that I could not rank this particular episode with more than 5 stars. The pandemic is the reason why it had so many viewers due to people being up to date with many tv series out there... I think BBC is making a terrible mistake in ordering a second season of Bloodlands.
Christ, really? This was total pants. Gave up on it halfway through episode 3. Was really hopeful about it going in, the idea of a cop show, procedural or thriller set in NI with all the local complications that entails was a promising one. But this was dire.
