Watched all episodes (they are very short 20/25mins). loved every episode, funny and quite sad at times also. only seen a few derry girls episodes but i reckon he's better in this.

Dylan Llewellyn looks very like Matthew Morrison from Glee

I watched the first three episodes this evening. Loved it. Thought it was great. Will watch the remaining three tomorrow.

Finished the 6 episodes.

Absolutely excellent little series not getting half the attention it deserves.

Second that, flew through it and no weak episodes from what I can remember.

Has built up well to complete a 2nd and 3rd series hopefully.

Seemingly it is available already if you pay for channel 4 (the app so no ads and early access to some shows)...I am tempted but can wait for Sunday, just finished rewatch of season 1, even better than I remembered.

I'll be honest - didn't find season 2 quite as good as season 1.. but still very good!

But Jack Rooke is a brilliant writer nonetheless, and the cast are all absolutely superb - although Jon Pointing is particularly excellent throughout.

End of the series was touching, but did feel a bit final unfortunately.

Watched episode 1 of season 2, loved it very funny.

I guess it will have a shelf life..maybe one more season...hopefully.

Possible spoiler for real life story.

Spoiler Warning

I think Jack said the Danny character is at least is based on a friend who sadly commited suicide in real life.

Loved season 2.

Had me in stitches and tears.

One more season please!

Just finished both seasons. Liked it overall. I thought season 2 was a bit stronger probably because the characters were established by then. Last episode was terrible though. Shannon turned until a really annoying character. Less was more with her.

Renewed for season 3!

Season 3 coming next month.

Will be last one :(

Watched 2 seasons over the last few weeks, really enjoyed it. Nice little show, with plenty of emotions. Looking forward to series 3

Bravo Jack Rooke..

.. given all episodes were only released today, I'm not going to say anything else other than a truly unforgettable series.

So well written, moving and gut-wrenching.

Just finished a binge watch of series 3. So so moving and more so because it’s based on real life. Three absolutely brilliant series.

Just finished those last two episodes....they have slightly broken me. Terrific tv, all three seasons were really top notch but those last two wow....sublime.

Ditto, finished this evening. You pretty much know the end from the very beginning of the show, but that was tough and also surprisingly uplifting.

I was expecting something a lot darker but that wouldn't have fit the tone of the show at all. Loved the whole series, fantastic

Great series, could see what was going to happen, but didn't take away any emotion from the end.
