Blood Money (TV series)

Blood Money is a British television crime drama series that aired on ITV in 2017. The series was created by Colin Black and starred Pauline Quirke in the lead role as Detective Inspector (DI) Linda Philips.

The show centers around DI Philips, a no-nonsense detective investigating complex and often ethically ambiguous cases in the city of Liverpool. A recurring theme throughout the series is the exploration of money's corrupting influence and the lengths people will go to for financial gain. Each episode typically focuses on a self-contained crime, allowing for different guest stars and storylines, but the overarching themes of morality, justice, and the impact of financial pressures remain consistent.

Blood Money was generally well-received for its gritty realism, strong performances, and exploration of contemporary social issues. While the series only ran for one season, it provided a compelling portrayal of the challenges faced by law enforcement in a world increasingly driven by financial motivations.
