    And 95% is quite a low criticism rate when you look some of the other TV threads.

    Not looking at any show in particular.

    The worrying thing is, could this make or break TV3?

    Having lost other soaps to UTV Ireland they needed to respond.... I don't think this show will be a success.

    something tells me this thread will give the Fair City thread a right run for its money !! My favourite thing about soaps are the boards threads!

    Fair City gets sold all over the world.
    There's definitely a market for crap out there.

    Where else around the world is Fair City broadcast? All I found on Wikipedia was Nothern Ireland and some overspill into the U.K.

    I don't watch soaps generally but was curious about this one, maybe because I used to watch The Bill. I don't think it is going to be a "the Bill" but I found it better than I expected. I will watch again.

    I was cringing. The music, I almost felt it was trying to be a bit "oh we can be a bit Ennio Morricone's Once Upon a Time In The West soundtrack, but not too Sergio Leone!"

    that was my feeling too. it was very like the bill. Which for me isn't a bad thing because I loved the bill, so I'll definitely watch again.

    That's bollocks.

    Plenty of great actors in Ireland. The problem is the poor writing/production.

    When you have to play two dimensional characters, while spouting dreadful dialogue, in underwritten storylines, in conjunction with uninspired direction, and when you're lucky to get more than 2 takes for a shot, then you won't be surprised to know even the best actors can look awful.

    What was the accent for that young Guard? Is it meant to be Polish? Sounded almost eye-talian.

    Tbh, Im enjoying it. Its no single-handed or heartbeat, but its alright.

    ok, maybe they will sign these 10 actors/actresses for next season. Question is who will be a Kiely and who will be a Hennessy..

    Not enough talent does not equate to no talent, which is what the poster was implying.

    Just watched it on the TV3 player and I'd give it a thumbs up and it will be interesting to see how the series develops. Single Handed meets Fair City with a dash of Glenroe. I find the the Gardai far more interesting than the feuding families. 8/10 for the first episode. :D

    Am I the only one who thinks 30mins once a week is just too little? People want at least 2x30 minute episodes a week surely?
