    Well that opening episode was ok and if they get a season arc going it might get a hook however for the cast they have put together for it I would have expected a stronger pilot episode even with the unexpected part.

    There is a good premise to the series I hope it can find it's feet with the talent in front and behind the camera there real potential here however it is bleak really bleak.

    Going The Shield route with now shades of gray the good guys are just as bad as bad guys if not worse since they are supposed to be the good guys.

    3 episodes in and it's well worth watching,very gritty if you like hard hitting shows its up there. Great cast.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,641 ✭✭✭California Dreamer


    I randomly came across this and binged the 4 epiosodes and just thought WOW! Nice and gritty. Well worth checking out.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,264 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Starting to reach a boiling point now both inside and outside the prisons.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,641 ✭✭✭California Dreamer


    Wherever you get your tv shows from this is one you need to check out this year.

    Renner does a fantastic job!!

    Well worth a binge.

    Cracking episode this week and man that was some sick find in the ground and Mike showing his serious dangerous side now as well.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,264 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Damn that was a fantastic and what a set up for next weeks season finale.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,641 ✭✭✭California Dreamer


    This is one show I do not want to end. It's simply one of the best dramas that i have ever seen!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,264 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    That was one fantastic season of TV from start to the finish!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 872 ✭✭✭Captain Red Beard


    Pretty decent ending and a couple of interesting points to kick off a new season.

    It was an enjoyable season overall but I thought the last episode was too rushed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 379 ✭✭markw7


    Very disappointed with this, thought it would be better from the reviews on here. Each to their own and all that but I'm baffled how anyone can compare this to The Wire. Nonsense plot, cliched characters and the overuse of curse words is almost comical. Taylor Sheridan is going downhill fast, first Yellowstone and now this. Renner carries this show massively, poor lads back must be fecked. 5/10

    That was a mad season of television. Renner was outstanding, really carried this. Its nonsense, gritty and gloomy but entertaining as hell.

    Really enjoying the second series so far

    The internet isn’t for everyone



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 88,932 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Any news on a 3rd series, I know Renner is healing, is Milo dead or alive?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,165 ✭✭✭✭billyhead


    Milos dead. The phone call recording at the end was prior to the bomb.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,185 ✭✭✭✭OmegaGene


    Third series is planned but Jeremy renner is still messed up from his snow plough accident

    The internet isn’t for everyone



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,417 ✭✭✭✭rob316


    Ya sure? Seemed unclear and I thought it was after the bomb. Makes sense to fake his death as he's a fugitive and has 14m dollars in bonds.

    Anyway just binged the 2nd season over the last few days, what a show, its mental and over the top but damn entertaining. Bunny the real star of the show, not your average gang banger. Fantastic performances throughout, its a grim show.

    Speedy recovery to Renner for season 3.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,828 ✭✭✭Ken Tucky


    Finished myself at the weekend. Had been loving the show but that ending!!! One of the best things I've watched recently. It didn't need to go all Hart to Hart at the end. 😁

    Ruined the feel of the show for me...Iris shooting the Russian saving Mike's. 🤑

    she got a taste for killing after the previous guy

    i had nothing negative to say after the ending tbh i thought it was confusing with the phone call but that may have been added after renners injury just to leave a bit of mystery in case it doesnt return

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,273 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Glad Joseph got fucked up what a dick. Bunny going all out on the gun shop was one of the best TV scenes I have ever seen, he's the boss.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,129 ✭✭✭boccy23


    I know the whole show is premised on how Michael is as Mayor, but I would have been interested if we could have had a feeling for what Mitch was like as well. Would he have offed the AB leader in retribution at the end like Michael did?

    Season 3 could be epic. So many questions out there. I know there is some level of gratuitous violence and definitely too much swearing, but I do think it is one of the best crime dramas out there at the minute. Very little else in this sphere with the same atmosphere.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,344 ✭✭✭Hodors Appletart


    That's if there is a S3 at all, Renner almost died a few months ago.

    Season 3 teaser

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,185 ✭✭✭✭OmegaGene


    can’t wait for this, after his accident I thought this might get kicked to the kerb

    That was a top class season 3 finale.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,273 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Holy ****,Robert is an evil fucker. The bus scene was a gut punch.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,828 ✭✭✭Ken Tucky


    Just finished now.. class

    Iris was wrecking my head...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 391 ✭✭Petermc83


    Really enjoyed watching all 3 series..quite dark at times but was gripped from start to finish.

    Any one know if there's a series 4?

    The lead role really suits Jeremy Renner. Was the latest series shot before he had his accident?
