    Was a very good RTE drama. Really enjoyed it. I presume it was only commisioned for 4 initial episodes to keep costs down and for RTE to see what the reaction to it was. Hopefully RTE give it the proper breathing room to develop the characters and commision 12 or so episodes.

    Yeah I reckon it was one of RTÉ's better productions although a bit short at four episodes.

    Still didn't have enough plot to fill the four episodes they had. If they'd slotted in a subpolt about someone actually suffering from the amount of drugs they consume, rather than just how much power and money you get from dealing them, it would've been a stronger show.

    But seriously, the musical number at the wedding? Beyond ridiculous. What they were thinkng, I'll never know.

    Have to agree. They could have easily placed a sub-plot in with relation to the woman that was handing money over to Nidge, she owes him 1000 euro.

    Here is a good drama about drug trafficing from Channel 4 (its an old one but a good one).

    Even Proof did a better job of dealing with Gansters etc.

    RTÉ show Love/Hate wins major award

    http://www.rte.ie/ten/2010/1115/rte.html

    RTÉ's gangland drama 'Love/Hate' has won the Cinéma Tous Ecrans (CTE) Best Series Award.
    1 of 2
    Love/Hate - Won the Cinéma Tous Ecrans Best Series Award
    The international film festival, held every year since 1995 in Geneva, Switzerland, brings together television, film and multimedia.

    'Love/Hate' was commissioned by RTÉ as a four-part series and produced by Octagon Films.

    Written by Stuart Carolan, it starred Aidan Gillen, Robert Sheehan, Brian Gleeson, Ruth Bradley and Ruth Negga.

    Jane Gogan, Commissioning Editor of Drama in RTÉ, said: "The high viewing figures the series commanded demonstrate that the series was of strong appeal, and is representative of RTÉ Drama's ambition to be relevant and innovative in terms of what we deliver to our audience."

    "This award is testimony to the overall calibre of the series and we have high hopes that as 'Love/Hate' is picked up by international broadcasters that its reputation and fan base will continue to grow."

    The series also secured a nomination for Best Drama at the prestigious Prix Europa Awards in October.

    I thought
    Darren
    had died until today. They're shooting some of it in a friends apartment, scenes with
    Darren and Rosie
    .

    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:

    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.
