    Hi all

    A friend of mine over in the US caught a quick glimpse of the first episode of Bracken and loved it. She asked me to recommend more Irish TV shows. So far I have:

    Obviously, Bracken
    Glenroe
    The Riordans
    Ros na Rún (for the Irish speaking)

    Is there anything else? I don't think there's very many shows but I'm just wondering if there's another couple that I've missed?

    Thanks:)

    Soupy Norman is possibly the best home made* thing I've seen on Irish TV. Surreal and fcken hilarious.

    *Of course by Home Made, I mean foreign show dubbed over by Irish comedians. I know Barry Murphy from Apres Match was involved, not sure who else was.

    Ballykissangel was also the BBC. However I think it’s what the op’s friends are liking for.
