Paddy Meehan is a feisty young Glasgow journalist looking for a break. When her ten-year-old cousin is charged with the brutal murder of a two-year-old, she defies her formidable boss, her tight-knit Catholic family, and the male-dominated world of Scottish newspapers to pursue the truth, putting herself in great danger and changing her life forever. Based on the novel by award-winning crime writer Denise Mina, starring Jayd Johnson (Dear Frankie), David Morrissey (The Walking Dead), and Peter Capaldi (Dr. Who). 4 episodes, 4 hrs, 2 DVDs, SDH.
My Thoughts
The Field of Blood is a great addition to the Acorn Media Line Up. Set is Glasgow in the 1980's, Paddy is a female reporter trying to make a name for herself while dealing with an overbearing family pushing her into marriage. But she doesn't let anything get in the way of getting her story and she's not afraid cross lines to make headlines. This first DVD set includes two exciting full-length episodes.
THE FIELD OF BLOOD: - The year is 1982. Paddy gets her first big break when a child she knows personally goes missing. Her family is furious that she uses the tragedy to enhance her career, but she believes she knows whose responsible and is ready to prove herself.
THE DEAD HOUR - In 1982 Paddy is finally promoted to junior reporter. Other reporters accept bribes to keep a story quiet, but Paddy is on the case and this story may lead to a few dirty cops. Even when lives are on the line, Paddy keeps pushing for the big break in her story.
I really enjoyed this new series. Paddy is a strong female character who never gives up. I look forward to additional episodes and seeing just how far she'll make it in her career.
