    Will be trying to tune in for episode 4 on Saturday night-a nice mix of surreal and silly with an element of murder-mystery all nicely filmed/edited - just stumbled upon it on the rté player and am really enjoying it!


    One of the best on the box at the moment.

    It's very good. Hopefully there will be a second series.

    Getting even weirder, have to wonder where this is all going? A cliffhanger perhaps.

    Definitely a cliffhanger. They couldn't tie up all the loose ends by next week.

    Its bizarre how much they pushed that absolutely abysmally dire Finding Joy series but they don't promote this? Its a great series and the production values and cast are fantastic. I loved it and got more engrossed episode by episode as the characters developed.

    I was thinking that Both Finding Joy and The South Westerlies were both heavily promoted by RTÉ and this was not mentioned all that much.

    It seem to me RTÉ want FJ and TSW to return. Unlikely for FJ to return (though I said that 2 years ago and was wrong) but TSW for all of it big cast names, failed to produce a interesting or funny script.

    I liked the TSW. Easy on the eye and a touch of topicality.

    Nothing happened, more could be got by picking up a Newspaper and writing about actual political skullduggery in a fictions way, which can be funny or humourous.

    Very mediocre.

    Deadpan Pictures received an offer of funding for a second series in this week's BAI round so 'Dead Still' will most likely return.

    I enjoyed watching the first season, it was a well told series. It will be interesting to see where they take the second series.

    Good to see but RTÉ didn't back that pitch To be Confirmed (TV Drama or Animation), I suspect that they will come in, it's got 8% funding of 350,000, 4.3m sought for the show or 729,000 per episode.

    In 2019 RTÉ only gave 3.5m to independent drama and scripted comedy, and they included the Tommy Tiernan show in that, so more like 2.2m, RTÉ might give a million to it. The rest from other sources.
