Love Hate rerun?

MadamX

Think I heard somewhere Love Hate seasons 1-3 are being rerun prior to the start of season 4. Can't find anything on this anywhere now though. Anyone? Or did I dream it!

ted1

Starts next Friday, get series linking

When they where filming in clonee, friends of mine asked them when would it be on tele and the crew said said late sept early oct

MadamX

Thanks ted1. Series linking! I wish!! On stupid UPC mmds service so fancy stuff like that's not available

(And yes, have looked at changing to Sky but it's the best option for us pricewise with 3 decoders)

Vivienne23

Starting from scratch on channel 5 soon they are playing the ads for it constant so it can't be too far away !

just as a FYI you could get one sky box and the rest could be generic free sat boxes which require no sub.

Anyone know the name of the song in the ad?

Double bills every Friday on RTÉ Two HD. In HD too which is great as I've not seen it yet.

prettyboy81

Nice definitely worth another watch especially in HD. Roll on Season 4 in November.

Excellent, feel like I've missed out on something by not watching Love/Hate. Will be nice to see what the fuss is about.

Radio5

Not that great for those of us who've seen it before and would prefer to be watching new episodes of Blue Bloods which is now gone back to 11pm.

Sorry, could you explain that please. Sign up to Sky, pay for one box then get generic free sat boxes (what are these? Where can I get them? Can different programmes be watched at the same time?). How exactly would this work? Would really appreciate it explained? Bet your sorry you offered the info now!!

JonathanAnon

Yeah I thought it was a great idea from RTE.. Double bills .. great stuff..

Hard hitting drama for the summer, and then back to the hard hitting interviewing by Tubridy in September :D

As much as I adore love/hate I have to agree. Last weeks blue bloods was great . Pity it can be so sickly sweet and slightly preachy at times though

On the ads it seems to hint that this will be on the RTE player as well, can anyone confirm this as I only watch stiff online, don't have a saorview box or sky or anything like that.

yes it can be all of the above but at least it tries to tell a story, its not all CSi-like with computers solving crimes and lots of people staring at computer screens for most of the episode. Nor it is too excessive on the blood and gore that seems to pass as entertainment these days.

Love Hate- Series 1 kicks off this Friday at 9pm on RTE2. Its a double bill so thats my Friday evening sorted!!

DubTony

I didn't watch it when it was first broadcast and just had to find out what all the fuss was about. I have to say, I'm sorely disappointed. Lots of scenes of cars driving around, extremely uninteresting cityscapes (Dublin's hardly New York), predictable story lines, lots of unnecessary shouting and too many party scenes where nothing's happening. All very "soap-ish" IMO.

Only 2 scenes really caught my attention. Morton's pub in Firhouse ('cause I live near it) and

Aidan Gillen's character getting his in the pub (that was a shocker)

. Tom Vaughan-Lawlor is good, but contrary to what he has said in interviews, I don't think it's a stretch for him at all. (Maybe he is that good)

The Darren and Rosie scenes are absolutely mind numbingly horrific. "Oi luv you Rosie. ... Don't kill anyone Darren" FFS!!! :mad:
Having said that, if they're designed to show the pathetic-ness of the Darren character, they work.

I think the only real reason to watch it is in the hope that you'll see your house on TV. Mrs. DubTony will make me watch season 3 though. Maybe that's better.

Season 3 was terrific, definitely worth watching. You don't need to have watched the first 2 seasons to follow it. I only started watching the show this season.

After hearing so much about the wacky advetures of Darren, Nudge, Joey Pork Belly et al, I am looking forward to Love/Hate arriving in the UK.

Are all Dublin gangland members as dreamy as Robert Sheehan?

I could get lost in his eyes!

Same here, I was pretty scathing of it once on here after watching a couple of mins of one episode...sat and watched the last 2 episodes of series 3 and thought pretty damn good...so need to catch up from the beginning

The Hd really makes some difference. Adds such a dimension especially when youve seen this episode in SD before

Didn't realise Siobhan was in it from the first episode. Had a lol at Darren's brother picking up the "Dazzler" magazine in the shop.

Darren looks so much younger in the first series.

Have the writers done this deliberately over time to show Darren's descent from some form of normality towards becoming a fully fledged member of gangland?

Not the face indeed

Totally agree, they make it very hard to build an audience for a show when they keep changing its timing and all to show Love/Hate, which is after all a repeat.

Given that its due to start on CH5 soon, it strikes me as though RTE are trying to milk it for all its worth before it gets shown in Britain. But why move a show back two hours in its Friday night slot, just to show two hour of repeats ? Couldn't they have left Blue Bloods on at 9pm and put on Love/Hate afterwards ?

Watching that made me remember how painfully boring that Darren and rosie story was.

Mick Murdock

Watched all 3 series of this recently. It starts quite poor in my opinion, but starts to get going in the second series. Anybody, not convinced at first, give it a chance.

Superb show. Blown away by how good it was.

terrible drama like a bad e4 drama

where is the CAB in the storyline

dubmick

only really starts to get good in the 2nd season

Yeah, in fairness, as I remember it, series one was fairly ropey, but there has been a gradual increase in the quality since then. It's still not perfect, but the best thing of it's type RTE has done. (not a high bar to get over obviously.)

Don't they go after Aiden Gillen's (forget his name) character in it?

Having watched the last few episodes of series 3 and been impressed.....watching it now from the beginning for me what makes it poorer is the Jon Boy character played by Aiden Gillen, they where clearly edging for a "Monk" type character but he's not believable in the role, doesn't look nor sound the part

prettygurrly

it's on player for anyone that missed the first two episodes of season one that were shown last week...like me...although after reading the ****e reviews maybe I'll just watch from season 3 onwards?

Love/Hate starts on Channel 5 on Wednesday 24th. July at 10pm

Ha ha there was never a dull moment with Hughie around. He was the equivalent of Fran coked up to the b*llocks. A complete and utter nutjob.

Actually now that you mention that Fran was a carbon copy of Hughie in Fran's first series, he matured a bit in the second. Poor writing actually never noticed that before.

He's not really a carbon copy. Just sharing some of the same nutjob sensibilities isn't he?

I wouldn't call it poor writing.

He was a fill in though, the comic relief, the Launcelot character. The writing on Love Hate in the last series was imperious among all other irish and maybe British tv drama.

Hughie had some aim, managing to pinpoint his one braincell exactly.

I actually thought they should have kept Hughie on, although it probably wasn't feasible once it was revealed he had shot Darrens brother (still, if it was a choice between Hughie and Darren I'd have killed Darren off in Series one.) I thought Brian Gleesons performance was one of the best things in it and there was more potential with his mad bad and dangerous to know character.
