    Having lived in oz,u.s and driven through some dodgy ex soviet states, the cops here are saints in comparison.

    A number of inquiries have probably said different.

    McCabe case was an eye opener
    to name one

    Seems to be. At the start of this year the Irish Times had this factoid: '432 people had been in the system for five years or more.'

    Like many things in the country it's a mess.

    Off topic but the vast majority of the long stayers are applicants who have been repeatedly told no and they take multiple legal challenges against the decisions.

    Don't agree with the cynicism here. So far I'm pretty engaged and the production value is better than usual for Irish TV.

    People often say this. Tell me exactly what you mean by it please.

    Its shocking stuff. A money pit. Basically other countries destroy their country and its up to 'the racist West' to pick up the pieces.

    Never said there wasnt corruption with the police here,im not an apoligist for the garda. Merely citing my personal experiences with authoritarian-gun toting-power trippers in u.s and oz, and policing in azerbaijan etc was an entrepreneurial activity.

    Correct. This is the reason, repeated appeals and facilitated by those with an agenda.

    There is an agenda now been driven, to just do away with any immigration/asylum process at all.Treat everyone as if they are genuine when the opposite is the case. Open borders,yaay.
    We already have a blind eye system in place anyway.

    As I suspected this seems like more liberal feminist/asylum seeker propaganda. The reality is we are overflowing with fraudulent asylum seekers and those turned down spend years exhausting the appeal process and we rarely deport any of them.

    Most of the tweets so far are liberals feigning outrage about direct provision.

    Is that a sincere question? I'm referring to the quality of the cinematography, lighting, soundtrack, locations, editing etc. This is a fairly polished production despite the fact that the budget can't have been particularly high.

    I believe this programme is part of that agenda. The writer is a high ranking member and former election candidate for Sinn Fein. Google Joanne Spain. Mary Lou and co are shilling it on twitter along with the open borders liberals.

    That, like the final season of House of Cards, would seem to be the point.. Social and Liberal commentary in the guise of prime time entertainment.

    It's actually shocking how quickly people in this country have adopted this Americanised shyte in the last few years.

    Haven't watched this yet but reading the opinions here reminds me a lot of the thoughts of the opening episode of Love/Hate on here! :D

    EDIT: Here we go: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055969028

    Same here. The scene where she asks to see the pics on her sons phone.

    Typical RTÉ player performance

    They are all about affirmative action these days. Only a woman candidate could be selected in Tipperary to run in the next General election.

    writer deserves a good run - so will watch again. Could be the awkward 2nd album.

    No harm that character dying - couldn't understand him.

    The previews these days - just after show are a disgrace, spoiler alert of its own show.

    I thought it was well written, good first episode. If they are looking for Flora, they should check the fridge.

    I hate how the Irish Left has started to just copy the American Left, despite the massive differences in culture, history, demographics etc basically everything. American social and liberal commentary has no relevance to this country.

    Yet these dangerous idiots are already at it talking about privilege and people of colour, and laughable irrelevant ****e they see on CNN.
