    How did it get a 2nd season.

    Is it a comedy ?
    Load of girls walking around talking on phones.
    Load of over acting

    Very strange - even a bigger budget with scenes in other countries.

    It's awful rubbish, the main woman is wasted in it she was excellent in a date for a mad Mary.
    Also I think the use of the word like constantly in the script is bizarre.

    Cork accent. Which she does pretty well.

    I like it, what’s it about? Women living together in Dublin and their lives.

    I know what it's about... I just don't find it compelling at all personally but hey, maybe I am not the target market.

    I also know people from Cork say like a bit... My partner is from there and he thought it was over used on the show

    I doubt if I am the target market either - in fact I first saw it on Netflix - but I find it’s fairly well and naturalistically acted and enjoyable enough.

    It’s a slight program, fairly well put together, but Irish people tend to expect perfection with Irish dramas or black comedies.

    In my opinion, the one thing that worked in thisprogramme was the two main characters - they had good chemistry and sparked off each other. Apart from that the plot, dialogue, pacing and support characters were all weak.

    To split up the two of them was a bad move. To have your two main characters in different continents not speaking to each other just exposes how little else the show has to offer.

    They could start with competency
