Bloodlines is a two-episode British detective fiction thriller and a leading dramatic vehicle for Emma Pierson, who stars as rookie police officer Justine Hopkin. The series, produced by Granada Television and directed by Philip Martin, premiered on ITV on 31 January 2005, at 9PM, with episode two airing on 1 February 2005, again at 9PM. Episodes one and two are each 90 minutes in length. Initially envisioned as returning series, ITV chose not to recomission Bloodlines after viewing figures fell well below the expected target.
After Elaine Hopkin (Jan Francis) is found dead, the victim of an apparent an OD suicide, her firstborn Mark (Kieran O'Brien) refuses to even inform his dad James (Kevin McNally), who is locked up for murder. Kid sister Justine (Emma Pierson), a cocky uniformed cop, goes to visit him, only to learn that he has just been released. After the autopsy concludes asphyxiation, she comprises friendly DC Jake Bannerman (Max Beesley)'s official investigation by taking rash actions against procedure.
