Love/Hate (v2) [ Spoilers ]

The Princess Bride · 02-01-2019 02:56PM

I'm watching it again on RTÉ player.
And it's every bit as good as it was the first time around.

One of the best Irish drama productions ever.

02-01-2019 03:54PM

It was a good show alright but it was going downhill in seasons 4 and 5.

The Princess Bride · 02-01-2019 07:34PM

It certainly became more violent in the latter seasons.
I've just finished season 2.
Hope to get through 3 tonight.

Pity Carolan doesn't write a one off special as a follow up.
See where Fran, Tommy and Trish are now.
Even bring back Mary Tracey and Rosie.
Lots of scope seeing that Nidge Wiesel is a goner.
Or is he...

Just finished it recently again coincidentally. What a show.

I thought these were just as good if not better to be honest. Introduction of Paulie, more with Patrick, the guards etc. I thought it got more realistic too and was far less romanticized. Ah they were all great seasons to be honest!!

He should do a love/hate 2.0
New characters and a new storyline.

He could explore more how gangs operate behind bars and a proper gang war with rival gangs.

I do like how the show ultimately shows that gang life generally doesn't end well.

If Fran is still alive, he's probably in and out of psychiatric institutions, heavily sedated and a shadow of his former self.

Tommy is in a nursing home being tube fed. Unloved and unvisited and waiting to die. In his semi conscious moments has hazy memories of a woman he once loved. Sometimes she has dark hair, sometimes red and he can't recall her name. He has no awareness or recollection of being a farther. Sometimes he says "Darren" and smiles.

Mary has set up a community group of mother's against gangs and gives talks in schools about the fate of her two brothers as a cautionary tale ( but drinks a bottle of wine at night to numb the pain and forget how Darren "helped " her when she had a bit of a stalker problem.

Trish has come down in the world, CAB took everything so now she and the boys are living in a hotel waiting for a council house. She's hit the sauce hard and seriously let herself go. No more acrylics and extensions and clothes all are now from Penny's.

Rosie's doing materially well for herself in Canada or Oz. She will never truly get over Darren and is achingly lonely as a result but pushes all men away as she can't trust them. Darren's paradoxical personality of gentle murderer has permanently damaged her ability to form a romantic bond with any man.

Happily ever after, folks.

I agree.

So far in first 2 seasons I've seen

Robbie Tracey shot by Hughie Power, just because -let's face it, Hughie was missing a few grey cells.
Elmo shot accidentally by Darren Tracey, but he survived.
Stumpy beaten by Darren, cos he'd assaulted Rosie during her pregnancy.

Jimmy Byrne shot by Hughie, again, because Hughie was itching to kill him cos he was top suspect in Robbie shooting-a rumour started by Hughie, despite Hughie having already killed Robbie himself. :rolleyes:

Hughie fatally shot in head by self. Accidentally, of course, seeing as he couldn't possibly have done it successfully had it been deliberate.

Darren shot by Stumpy- personal revenge, Darren survived.
Stumpy killed by Darren on orders of John Boy Power.
Fran attempted murder of John Boy cos a drug deal went wrong.
Fran's wife Linda suffered horrific facial injuries in pipe bomb attack on her home, Nidge threw it, JBP ordered it-Linda took her own life afterwards as she couldn't live with the disfigurement.

Darren ordered to kill Aido but Nidge side tracked him and ordered him to kill John Boy instead.
Aido kneecapped.
And the swan, poor swan killed by Luke, one of the more disturbing scenes in L/H

And 3 more seasons to go.
Oh to be an undertaker in Dublin.
Not.

I’m rewatching season 3.

Does anybody know where the pub that Git got killed in is located?

Isn't that the one on the south quays beside Guinness's, on the corner of Watling St? Can't remember what it was called but it's been closed up for a long time, I think they resurrected it for the filming.

Thanks. But that’s not the one I was thinking of.

That pub is the one that was owned by Git and dano (the Napier Tandy). the pub where he raped Siobhán and was Murdered was one where the Nidge and gang use to hangout. I think they called it the Sheebean on the show.

Just finished watching thru this on RTE Player for the first time since the show aired. Fúcking great show.

Had good fun reading thru the pages-and-pages today from when episodes aired live.

I'll leave you with my favourite clip from the show:

'We will in our brown, we'll go as we are. Sure if it wasn't for me, Nidge would be getting married in some gaff by the Red Cow roundabout.'

I'd rather dip my eyes in acid than use RTE Player to watch anything, it's pure torture.

dball · 20-03-2020 09:39AM

oh yeah, i forgot about that part, you're right - not worth it

Mantis Toboggan · 20-03-2020 09:40AM

I've watched love/hate on the player, it's been there a long time AFAIK.

De Bhál · 20-03-2020 10:46AM

I watched it for the first time a over the Christmas. Used the RTE Player for the first season, it's tough going with that, what with the ads.
Thankfully a chap I work with brought me in the DVD boxset. So much easier

hatrickpatrick · 30-03-2020 12:53AM

Does anyone know when this is likely to air? And far more importantly, will they be airing it with the original epic soundtrack as opposed to the DVD versions where they couldn't get the rights to the music they originally used?

Perhaps they will shortly reshow it seeing as they are showing repeats of stuff on prime time that was shown on prime time a few months ago.

They've officially announced a re-air, just no date, the feckers

Remarkably, it works reasonably well on my LG television.

I don't know why it is so bad on a Windows PC.

I think RTE should air it again, was it ever repeated?

It'd want to be there a long time for the player to start working. Did you finish the first episode yet? Still buffering, or just ads and crash?

PTH2009 · 31-03-2020 02:00AM

They should do a new season or even a 2 episode special

I always assumed I'd hate this so I never watched it. Hated listening to the kids in school going on about it. But I decided to give it a go on the Player over Christmas, and ended up binging the whole lot over a couple of weeks. I absolutely loved it! Can't believe I avoided it at the time. I never have any issues with RTE Player. I'm watching Castle Rock on it at the moment.

I'll definitely be re-watching the show "live". Thought they had announced a date for it when I saw this thread pop up. Keep us informed if any of you hear when it's on.

How are you accessing the player?

I loaded it up on the android app and casted it to the TV. Worked well.

robwen · 31-03-2020 11:13AM

RTE announced last week they will be airing the original five series of Love/Hate as part of their ‘In This Together’ campaign.
Bachelors Walk and Pure Mule will also make their return to RTE in the next number of weeks.
