    I just can't feel sorry for her when she has two massive homes in most expensive part of Ireland, sorry RTÉ, should probably have an advisory for househunters before the programme starts

    And why does she have her wedding dress hanging up in the home she shares with her future husband?

    It can't always be working class estates with ponys. Most movies show their cities at their best, unless it's a deliberate gritty drama.

    you only Addressed one side of my criticism. The southside thing is just as legitamite Some of the D4s are cliche. The show is designed to be generic to appeal to an international audience.

    Could have done with more exposition and fleshing out of characters before jumping into the cheating bit which itself was pretty meaningless. Script and acting equally at fault.

    I haven't watched this so I've no idea if it's a steaming turd or a real gem.

    However, why do RTE insist on making Amy Huberman a thing we're all rallying around? I'm sure she's lovely and all, but when I've seen her in comedy I haven't found her funny, when I've seen her in comedy dramas I've found her neither funny nor a good actress. Having seen her in drama I've not changed my mind. Who is backing her as a must for these projects?

    Having seen the ad it smacks of the "she's a high powered executive in the city, lets follow her trials and tribulations". It's such a cliche at this stage. Much like the dirge that was Can't Cope, Won't Cope it looks like another RTE effort which is about 10-15 years too late to the party.

    Always prepared to give new homegrown drama a shot, but this was terrible. Wooden acting and a poor script undermine the whole thing and the premise feels like it was ripped off from The Good Wife.

    After the highs of Love/Hate RTE have now struck out with their last 3 drama series - Clean Break, Rebellion and tonight's effort.

    Sorry folks but this is Mrs BOD you are talking about. Drick. Dricko. Briano. The Drickmeister General. The Number 13 to end all Number 13.
    BOD ffs !
    So cut out the blasphemy now.
    God, this country owes that man so much, and it seems many of you arent even fit to be display a minimum of respect to his wife. Shame on you. Shame on you all.
    Mr. O'Driscoll, Amy was super. Great drama. Great acting. Loved it.

    I liked it just fine. I like Amy Huberman (BOD or no BOD), and I was looking forward to this. I wasn't disappointed. I'm willing to be entertained. I hope it gets good numbers and lasts.

    They nearly always have a token English character in RTE dramas, probably to try and sell it to a potential UK audience.

    What? In which scene was she sporting a pearl necklace?

    Indeed, but a tricolour turd served on an RTÉ plate would pick up an IFTA.
