When Fran came to help he was driving a left hand drive car. The next scene it was right hand drive. Or maybe I'm seeing things.

You weren't imagining things, I copped that one straight off.

Remember in the last series Sheehan had a ronny & goatie (bum fluff) on & off too

he needs to get rid of the beard and leave the ronny

amazing the amount of folk in here who watch it with their glass of vino on a sunday night and claim to know what is and what isn't realistic in gangland ireland. that for me is the best comedy of all

I find Darren totally believable, don't understand all the scepticism of his character. The way he fired the barrel at Git's head was brilliant.

Maybe because he's hardly saying a word anymore.

The big flaw with him was the accent, at least for Dublin viewers (I think).. So they've sorted that one out, by giving him less to say.

In the meantime we have Nidges wife Trish (Aoibhinn McGinnity) and Tommy's missus Siobhan (Charlie Murphy) to feast our eyes on and also Git's tasty daughter in law thrown into the mix though i do hope the lovely Mary (Ruth Bradley) comes back. You can never have enough talent on screen in my opinion

Dano's wife played by Eve Macklin......mmmm yes please

If you have been affected by the issues raised in tonight's program such as an empty belly from a hard night of corpse disposal, please call Fran who'll tell you the location of the nearest 'All day breakfast'

I don't think Ruth Bradley is going to be in this series, I'm sure I heard her say in an interview she was filming "Grabbers" or working on a new film at the same time that Love Hate was in production.

Yeah id say they'll probably write her out of it by means of having fell out with Darren after the disappearance of that young lad Luke the last series. An Awful pity though she is absolutely gorgeous.

Jasus the acting is still as bad as ever (better than Fair City all the same) but the story line keeps you coming back for more,it's like car crash tv

Actor who played Git is a film-maker and director also

I think Tom Vaughan Lawlor (Nidge) is a class actor especially when you hear him give an interview off screen and see how different he is. One of Ireland's hidden gems. He deserves a big break after the blinder he has played throughout every episode. His face is so familiar but i cant remember what i seen him in prior to love/hate. Think he does mostly theatre.

I thought the acting from Sheehan tonight was brutal. When he was telling Nidge that Aido had been kneecapped it looked as if he was going to burst out laughing. Absolutely woeful. Taxi to Carrigstown for Robert.

Fran is brilliant but probably overacts a small bit.

Overall a good cast. Its not easy to know how to play a scumbag. While you can stereotype them you cant exactly go up to them and ask to live with them to get more insight into their character.

Here's an interview from last series with the guy who plays Nidge.

Ok RTE so it's worth paying my licence now but can we have Tubberty and that frontline fool burried in that same grave?

I'm still finding it hard to forget the Chill ad he was in though.. (because of his very distinct voice)

When Nidge rang him tonight, I was half expecting him to say "It's okay Nidge, I'll take it from here"..

Good start to this series. The Lads up North won't be happy when Git doesn't turn up. Looks like there may be a bit of grovelling to be done by Nidge. Anyone think Fran might still have it in for Darren?

He'll need to do a bit more than that if they find out he's responsible:). Anyway I think a previous poster had it right when they said he'll blame it on the guy who had his cheek bitten off.

Dont think Fran has it in for him but understandly he's probably still a bit pissed about his dog & that pipe bombing incident from the same gang.

Have been looking forward to this series for awhile & its lived up to expectations. I hate to give RTE credit considering how badly run an organisation they are but this show is top class. Fair play

First time viewer here. Watched it because apparently I must. Gratuitous violence, rubbish continuity and ham acting. Are standards driven so low now that this is regarded as really, really good?

The only, and I mean only, good thing about the show is it is an Irish production set in Dublin.

It bears a striking resemblance in story and theme to Romanzo Criminale. A little too striking, perhaps.

TheBlock

I'm sure he will blame Aido but will the Northie Nutters believe him? I think Fran might be looking to become Nidges goto man rather than Darren. Can see this story taking a couple of twists as Nidge trys to stay above ground.

Isn't this is an Independent Production?? Not sure the level of input into the scriptwiting they would have had. I suppose they did stump up the cash though.

Meh to pretty much everything you've typed.

The soundtrack to this is topnotch . Zepplin for the opening credits and that country song with frans little shimmy and darren laughing at him at the end . Even the cheesy techno its all well chosen and perfectly fitting .
