Nesbitt tried to give us a character churning with conflicting emotions; most of the time, he just looked like he could do with a couple of Rennie Deflatine to get rid of some trapped wind. With terrible reviews and a lot of negative comments on social media going against it, how come Bloodlands is coming back? Well, the ratings were good, especially in Northern Ireland, but that’s neither here nor there. The most likely reason more Bloodlands is being inflicted on us is because a second season had already been commissioned before the first was shown, when nobody knew for sure if it was a crock of television gold or a crock of something else (we know now, mind you).
