Why did the female sergent and yer one change into civvies to tell the old guy about his daughter? I couldn't get my head around that part.

Not entirely sure but I wonder if that is the new protocol these days? I'm guessing the show must have done some research on the issue and not just lobbed it into the storyline.

Found this strange myself,it must be a regular enough for guards to break bad news to family members,also the fact that they arrived to the house in the squad car made them changing clothes pointless....

I'd rather the "sarge" wear nicer looking clothes if she is going to break me bad news.

Yeah, they were both a bit too casually dressed in jeans (though the younger girl looked good in civvies for a change)

Sadly RR is starting to get a little unrealistic in places. A sister representing her brother on a manslaughter/murder charge ??? With her husband the Super in the investigating station??

The "not here " bit was sadly ridiculous too. Somehow they considered it better to discuss the case in a parked car directly opposite the station entrance in broad daylight instead of at home or in his office. Just to add a signpost to what they were talking about yer man was smoking a cigarette outside!!!

Let's hope that the RR thread goes down the same path as the FC thread!

I figured out FC is Fair City. Not being a viewer of FC and not visiting the FC thread, I meant what route do you hope this thread goes down?

The FC route. Banter! Or, to be a little more descriptive, ripping the p&ss!

Hopefully not. It's bad enough that the Fair City thread went that way in the first place. It was once a decent thread many years ago - now people who genuinely like the show have to go elsewhere to discuss it.

I hope I never have to go to that elsewhere place to discuss FC!

No - the show went that way. People on the thread are true fans unlike the current FC writers who treat the viewers as morons with no memories and pay no regard to fact. Hopefully RR will not go down that road by firstly paying careful attention to continuity and secondly researching the storylines.

Nice bit of comedy locking the funeral director in the pantry, could see people doing this when they are told how much the costs are.

The thief called " blue ray" because he stole dvd players..

People who buried their son days before?? Eh no . Thought I was watching some Roddy Doylesque version of Dublin " working class "'. Awful.

walshb · 21-01-2015 10:21pm

My god that was a dire episode....

TOMs WIFE · 21-01-2015 11:50pm

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Really enjoyed the "Bluray" scenes with the cop. Thought the "love scene" with herself and the ex husband was done quite well also, bit raunchier than you would find on Fair City :P

Edit : Oh, and I think the theme tune is growing on me!

JP Liz V1 · 22-01-2015 1:46am

The Hennessy's pub looks quite dingy for a rich family

Luke92 · 22-01-2015 1:48am

Just recently watched this. Better acting in Fair City! I really can't watch something with god awful acting.

Maybe that's why they are rich, they are not spending money on decorating the pub, but I would have to see some scenes in their home just to confirm this.

They'd prob apply for some of the cost from the Social Welfare.

It's not my type of show. Thought it was quite slow moving. The families and the town are not all that interest, they could be dropped in favour of a show just about The Gaurds. It's hard to see how the Keilys, Hennessys and Reids will relate to each other. I imagine Bridget will get with Liam to get at Patricia.

The chap who opening the cafe place with his daughter ..... Who is he in real life, and what have I seen him in before? It's driving me nuts. TIA

Penny Dreadful or The Tudors?

Have enjoyed tonight and last night's episodes. Liking the "cop drama" piece the best.

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 23-01-2015 2:43am

Yer man playing Robbie was great - shame he was only in it for the one episode.

Think the show as a whole is really starting to find its feet now. I find myself warming to the characters a bit more as it goes on, particularly Sharon and Katie (which makes sense as they've been the most prominent so far). And during the first 2 episodes I thought there'd be a danger of Paudge getting annoying very fast, but he's becoming a bit of a legend in my eyes.

Elmo · 23-01-2015 4:39am

I can see them dumping The Red Rock Families.

Red Rock Blue

It reminds me a lot of The Bill in the olden days.
