That’s my guess at who was in the merc

That had crossed my mind too. I'm enjoying it so far, more so than Taken Down even though they are of a similar pace for the first 2 episodes.

Set in 2006, lots of cars from a decade later. Minor enough detail, but still. Looks very slick so far.

Just watched first episode. Decent.

Find Killian Scotts accent hard to understand.

OptimusTractor · 16-10-2019 11:25PM

Conleth Hills character O'Kelly is such a cliche.

Treppen · 16-10-2019 11:59PM

I thought it was fairly good, but the whole 'dublin developer baddy with dark secrets' character is getting a bit worn out. They even did away with this character in fair city 10years ago ffs :pac:

I had the misfortune to watch it on the player though... Is there any alternative app to this crap?

To be fair the book it is based on was written 12 years ago.

And with all the facial hair and ponytail, I reckon a well known Dublin based construction Mogul is instructing his brief as we watch!!

I'd say they're holding out for a breakfast scene in Marrakesh.

Probably the Nigerians again

Two many time switches. Hard to keep with who was who and who is who. I’m watching it without adds on bbc which helps. but it’s hard work.
Line of Duty, The Bodyguard, The Fear - it is none of those.

Have to say I found it a LOT easier to follow than some Line of Duty plots!!

bobbyss · 17-10-2019 08:03AM

Is it on BBC NI or is it being shown all over the UK?

Don't think you got my sarcasm there

Purple Lemons · 17-10-2019 10:09AM

Watched both episodes last night and was pleasently surprised. Few inconsistencies with the timeline but we'll get over that. Really enjoyed the twists and figuring out the past links and relationships, gave me new theories on how it would progress every ten minutes.

I'm thinking the eldest daughter is being raped by daddy dearest, and she or her sister done did the murder. Also, is yer wan Sculley Cass' twin or pretending to be Lexi?

HeidiHeidi · 17-10-2019 11:03AM

Has anyone on here read the books? Would that not act as a complete spoiler for the TV series??

I'd say this would make a far better book than TV (and from what I've read, it did!), I'm tempted to rush out and get the books but would that just ruin the TV series on me???

pinkypinky · 17-10-2019 11:15AM

I enjoy adaptations of things I've read. It often makes me re-read for comparison. That said, I don't remember how it plays out and the fact that they've merged 2 novels into one series might mean things are different.

The books are great and worth reading.

I’ve read all her books and enjoy the, in my opinion they seem to have been written with a tv adaption in mind. Sometimes the interpersonal drama/relationships seem a bit forced or over done.
Looking forward to watching it, but not sure how adapting the first two books will work.

gmisk · 17-10-2019 08:46PM

Really enjoyed the first two episodes, really well shot and acted. It has me gripped.
The plot isn't hard to follow but you definitely need to pay attention no second screens!

Is this set in the 70,s ??

No not by the cars etc but why are Katies family all living in the 70’s ?

1870's?.

They're dressed like a family from The Little House on the Prairie.

This, the acting, the weird accents, the silly music.. Well it was at this point I couldn't take it any longer.

When I seen the BBC was involved I thought there was a glimmer of hope but that died pretty damned quick.

Disappointed.

Back to browsing Netflix for something decent.

Really liking it so far. Best rte have done in a while.

I really enjoyed it . I think the way they dress and live is significant in some way

Think it's good but a bit confused over the secret identity stuff

Is nidge a copper in this?

The Late Late Show · 18-10-2019 12:03AM

Enjoying this so far. Shaping up to be something worthwhile and the acting is proper and all.
