Colin Farrell was the film's mvp

To be honest it’s so long since I watched it, but I just remember it having twists for the sake of it, like the Italian job remake or the movie where Jessie Eisenberg is a magician.

Is that Gus Fring? I'll watch it for him alone.

What's the verdict on this? Is it good? Haven't seen this yet.

Watched two last night and been looking forward to getting stuck in tonight

Some great characters, "the gospel" would scare the bejaysus out of ya

OmegaGene

'peck the worm peck the worm' had me laughing

That scene was so intense yet completely absurd ....love it 😀

Just noticed the episode I'm watching now was written by love hate legend Stuart navan man Carolan

Atlantic Dawn

Watched it over the weekend, enjoyed it. You wouldn't need to have seen the film beforehand, this would stand solid on its own.

There's a lot of actors in it with no previous experience in mainstream acting roles, was impressed by their work.

Agent Coulson

An enjoyable easy watch at 8 episodes that work as a stand alone series or they can add more seasons if they want.

Theo James does have a star presence about him on screen.

Ash.J.Williams

Any reference from rte doesn't mention Stuart Carolan, do they just see the name guy ritchie and leave it at that?

JP Liz V1

Daniel Ings is great, hilarious as Freddy

scottser

Theo James would make a good James Bond.

Decent series, enough to keep you interested till the end.

rob316

Very enjoyable easy watch, hope to see a season 2.

why would he get a mention for writing two episodes ?

OmegaGene

good series and would welcome another run of it

Thought the first episode of this was brilliant and really likes the cast but it definitely lost its way and got a bit boring the longer it went on.

Vote4Squirrels

I didn’t see the film and I’m looking for a new bingeable series - thanks for the recommendations, will give it a go.

Because he's Irish and wrote 2 series for rte, what a stupid question 😀

they aren’t going to give him a shout out for writing two episodes ffs that’s just daft but maybe you should ring Joe Duffy and express your concern lol

Rossie4ever

In the middle of watching this and really enjoying it.

it's good, it might have been better without the Travellers.

Ten of Swords

Really enjoyed this - found the Belgian character (played by a Norwegian actor!) particularly irritating.

Giancarlo Esposito was excellent, as always. Ray Winstone didn't strike me as particularly invested in his role, maybe just me?

Max Beesley was great as the dodgy boxing promoter

murpho999

Mmm, not so sure about this, First two episodes interesting and then for me it becomes a different challenge in each episode.

Also, Giancarlo Esposito and Ray Winstone being really typecast irked me.
