    Funniest show I have seen in a long time. Bloke walks out of scene fully clothed, two minutes his later he is at a party with his top off trying to climb a wall to get away from the cops. Gold.

    There was so many things that happened with no explanation (and something tells me will never be explained)

    The jumpin over fences?
    The lads taking money for people seeing the body.
    Jack txtin his wife that he was in the sports ground to fake his death...why? Is he a prankster !!
    Theres others but im not arsed. I found it funny actually. Jacks sons acting was by far the worst.

    That was weird alright.

    Not to mention Jack trying to kill himself (or was it mean to be fake?) at a rugby ground and being found in the middle of the pitch unconscious. Wakes up and he's grand. Not a mention of it afterwards. Jack gets on with his day. You would imagine that would be kinda a big deal.

    Madness............. but strangely compelling.
    The musical soundtrack is decent I have to say.

    Can TV3 do anything right? Awful stuff. I'm glad I was not the only one lost.

    Who produced/wrote? I'm waiting for someone to reveal that it was a transition year project. Fair City may have bad acting but at least it has a structured story. There has to be some explanation for this - TV3?

    As little was said, if they took out the curse words, there'd be even less!

    Yeah i think they were tryin to make the dialogue more realistic.. suppose it needed all the help it could get!

    Highlight for me had to be when the murder victim was carted out of the house in a coffin. No need for an autopsy, sure we'll just bring him to the funeral home, it'll be grand! Do we have any idea who was actually killed? Are Leigh Arnold and her daughter living in the crime scene house now? Is that what that mysterious no. 1 key was about? It's like a David Lynch thriller!
    Loving the thread commentary, so guess I will have to watch again next week!

    It might have helped if we were introduced to him before he met his end so that it might have some resonance, but I guess it's all part of the 'deception'.
    Anyway, on this most miserable of days, this has really cheered me up!

    I put my confusion throughout down to missing the first 10mins. This thread has cheered me up considerably! If this is what passes for writing I'm submitting my Lesbian Robot Wars screenplay to TV3 tomorrow

    It's moving fairly fast...I mean the story. Lots of scenes lasting 30 seconds which nothing much added to the story.

    Love all the Ros na Run actors speaking English...messes with my mind.

    Watched the first ten minutes. Wooden acting. Dodgy scriptwriting. Whoever directed it should be fired. Also might be no harm in sacking the camera men. Appallingly bad.

    Deception cost €1.2 million to make and was half funded by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland’s (BAI) Sound and Vision Fund.

    I doubt that very much so. Better maybe because it was so terribly awful.

    I did not feel there was excessive cursing plus cursing is now more common in our daily speech.

    For some cursing is their only form of punctuation!:)

    The excessive swearing reminded me of The Sopranos edited for tv:

    I saw pretty much the whole episode and it was comedy gold for me once again.

    I think I saw on the sign at the entrance to the estate:

    Jack French Developments
    'As Solid As The Man Himself' - this bit is hillarious.:D

    Leigh Arnold went out with Mr. Orange as did ...Katy French(RIP)...

    Hmmm...

    Yeah their use of the name "Catriona French" jumped out at me straight away too, couldn't be closer to Katy French if they tried. Surely Leigh Arnold would have copped this too - deliberate to maybe get a bit of controversy/press/publicity for the show?
