    Maybe the high viewing figures and the International award might be a reason to fund it - just saying:rolleyes:

    Oh and I thought it was excellent too!!

    Serious lack of punctuation.
    There will be a second series and Darren is alive

    Just watched this on RTE player. I thought it was good up until the last episode. However, the character of John Boy was too unrealistic for me. Early on, He seemed like a reasonable guy, and that stable reasoning was why he was such a success.

    However, his reaction to Darren in the last episode was completely unreasonable. It was apparent that Hughie was in the wrong to everybody. The brother should have been able to see this too, especially based on the previous insights we saw of John Boy's character.

    Hughies shooting and the last scene did come very unexpectedly for me; certainly came out of the blue.

    Not sure what the whole Tommy - Mary thing was about. Thought something more would come from it???

    Would mammies from the midlands refer to their sons as "total rides"? :confused:

    We're all in this psy-op together.🤨

    The best thing about the last series was that young Gleeson lad and he was shot. I thought he was very good. Apart from that it was pretty awful and I was surprised that Aidan Gillen was such a bad actor considering how well he is doing. The other guy Sheehan was brutal. The guy that got married in the last series was pretty good though.

    Think I mostly enjoyed the first series. Just had to shelve any sense of reality and enjoy it as a crime romp, was a decent effort for RTE imo.

    Second series starts 9.30 tonight.
    RTE have played a blinder with the trailer and previews and kept the whole 'Did Darren survive?' thing in suspense. :pac::pac:

    I thought the bits used for the ad were badly acted ... Gillan saying "did you tell him, did you tell him".. I cant take him seriously as a "hard man".. I think he was far more suited to the role he had in The Wire..

    Yep, he does the background manipulator role far better than the hardman role. Plays similar character in Game Of Thrones that he played in The Wire and nails it there also.
    He's probably the only cast member of Love/Hate getting paid super dollars, so they must insist on him throwing a few punches and threatening with a gun, buts he's fairly laughable at it alright.

    I think its well made and a high quality production though a little of the acting is questionable, but when the first bit of dialogue at 9.30 on a Sunday evening is about some necropheliac putting "his muck" in a corpse I could just see thousands of people switching over to something else.

    The language and the violence is a bit over the top for the time slot, it doesn't personally bother me but there are plenty of people I know who would switch it off because of this. Pity.

    Its much better than the first series.

    Very violent i agree with @bijapos.

    Lots of ads, if I was in IRL I'd watch on the Player.

    it was worth the wait, Nidge started as slightly rogueish but he s a total backstabbing nut job this series. Darren ....well you just know it wont end well for him
    while i think its fab I cant help but think that scumbags could use it for ideas
    The model turned actress was great i thought.

    As I dont get out much this was long awaited by me

    Pretty good show.. very watchable.. I think Gillan would have been better if he'd been cast as the middle class coke sniffer who owed a debt to one of the thugs... cos he's not really intimidating enough to be a thug...

    Nice to see the guy from the Chill Insurance ad got a break anyway, after he explained the situation away for poor oul Dave..

    I reckon the story is only OK, some of the acting could be more convincing, can't say any of them come across as very threatening characters. I think who ever the guy is that plays John Boy is not suited to the part at all. Pitty they killed of your man Gleeson's character in the first series.
