Blackshore

I, too, found the opening and closing music to be haunting. There's a line in the credits that says the opening and closing themes are 'We, the Drowned' by Lisa Hannigan. Apple Music has three different versions.

About the series... it's very Irish and somewhat dark but very watchable. Lisa Dwan is very good. The plot is complex but not confusing in the end. Scenery is grand, as are the interiors of various homes and buildings.

All six episodes are on AcornTV (Summer 2025) so very bingeable.

I would absolutely recommend giving it a watch... since you can always bail out if it's not your taste.

This is an enjoyable series that's definitely worth watching. Lisa Dwan delivers a great performance and looks fantastic in the show, and the general cast are very good too. Murder mystery & history in rural Ireland. Feels pretty authentic and whilst the plot is quite similar to others, it keeps one interested. If you're looking for a crime drama to watch on a winters evening then this does the trick. The theme music is a great bonus - must check out the artist. Major gripe is the choice of young girl to play Fi in the flashbacks. Looks nothing like a young Fi (Lisa). Apart from that - it's good.

After an angry act in a pub, Detective FIA Lucey is sent home to Blackshore to solve the murder of Roisin, the case unearths memories of her tragic past, where her father killed her family.

Episodes one and two were decent enough, it turns up a couple of notches in episode three, and just gets better and better, it truly turns into a fairly captivating show.

A very effective whodunnit, you're made to wait to learn the truth, my focus moved from person to person with every episode, I got it wrong.

It's very well written, plenty yo keep you engaged and intrigued, you have two mysteries, Roisin's death in present day, and the mystery of Fia's past.

Well acted, Lisa Dwan is great from start to finish, Fia isn't perhaps the most likeable Stanley Townsend and Aidan McArdle are excellent in support.

I'd love to see a second series.

8/10.

Blackshore is one of the latest Irish TV Series that has been realased. If be honest I had very high hopes for this show after watching other recent Irish TV Shows such as The Woman in the Wall and The Vanishing Triangle. However, it was not what I was expected. Although this show is a decent one and the story is quite good, there are issues with acting. I do not know what other people think but I do not think that Lisa Dwan is fit for the role of Detective Fia. I did not like the way how she acts in this show. Nevertheless, the other actors are really good in particularly Stanley Townsted (Andor and The Spy). But still this series is a decent one and I give 6 over 10.

I've watched 5 out of 6 parts here and I'm really enjoying it. Nothing revolutionary it must be said but very solid throughout and I think Lisa Dwan is really on point as tough, ambitious, no nonsense DI Fia Lucey. The entire series is built around her character and she carries it off with aplomb. Looking forward to part 6. Perhaps the plot is a bit needlessly complex and it's hard to imagine a typical sleepy Irish town with so much happening beneath the surface. Still it has plenty of interesting characters on view and the finger of suspicion is shifting in many directions throughout. Bottom line, very decent series.
