Acorn TV invites viewers to the quaint, seemingly peaceful town of Blackwater, Ireland, in its new crime drama, “Blackshore.” But don’t let the tranquil scenery fool you; beneath the surface lies a current of dark secrets, and DI Fia Lucey, played by Lisa Dwan (“Top Boy,” “Bloodlands”), is about to get pulled in.
Premiering Monday, March 10th with a two-episode drop, “Blackshore” finds Fia returning to her hometown under a cloud of disciplinary charges. The disappearance of local hotelier Roisin Hurley presents a chance for Fia to prove herself, but the case is more tangled than it appears. The town, and perhaps even Fia’s new partner, Detective Furlong, seem oddly resistant to uncovering the truth.
As Fia digs deeper, she unearths not just clues about Roisin’s disappearance, but unsettling connections to her own tragic past. The idyllic Blackwater of her childhood memories takes on a sinister new light, suggesting a link between the town’s dark history and the present-day crimes. The first episode sees Fia forced to confront her demons while investigating the missing person case. The second reveals a murder.
“Blackshore” looks to be a character-driven mystery with a brooding atmosphere. It’s not just about solving a case; it’s about confronting the past and uncovering the truth, no matter how painful. The first two episodes of “Blackshore” arrive on Acorn TV Monday, March 10th at 3:01 AM EST.
