#BLUELIGHTS is "The Wire In Nire": a BBC cop show set in Belfast that bears comparison to The Wire (the greatest TV show ever). There's a superb line in Season 3 where a Priest says: "Life is Faith vs. Shite". Well, right now TV is "Blue Lights vs. Shite", because it makes all other TV look that bad
