Jayd Johnson was the central character in the Field of Blood Series, this being the second installment. David Morrissey of Walking Dead fame plays the part of a Newspaper Editor. Peter Capaldi, recently Doctor Who, was also in the first series. In the first series she was a "copy boy" for a small newspaper near Glasgow, Scotland. In this series she is an aggressive reporter/journalist. In both series she is a person who tries to resolve crimes as a news person and at the same time do the right thing for her family that she lives with. The only unfortunate issue was the fact that both series were only two episodes. And equally disappointing is the fact that the talented Jayd Johnson has not appeared in anything since.

Paddy's back on the case.

A human rights lawyer is killed, just hours after a visit from The Police and Paddy.

I always thought this show has so much potential, theoretically this could have run for quite some time. The first two parter was excellent, I can remember it coming as something as a surprise this follow up.

It's a very good start, the story is intriguing, the characters are excellent, production values are too notch, plus throw a new owner and chief into the mix, and you have a formula for some very good drama.

It's very well paced, it doesn't lull at any point, it's dramatic enough to keep your attention throughout.

The first story was very, very male oriented, Paddy was definitely living and working in a man's world, now I'm not saying things have changed much, but there's been something of a shift, Katherine Kelly's hard nosed chief boss sees to that.

8/10.
