RTE's new 8 episode gangland drama with an all star cast.
AMC start date is September 9th I can't see a start date for RTE just a coming soon.
Has the mother a past with brother in law Mikey or just fancies him now? Could one of the sons be his?
I got it, Frank from How To Get Away With Murder
Decent portrayal of the gardai
"We've received credible information of a threat to your life, here's a leaflet, see ya"
Too many beards to tell who was who ?
Eric reminds me of someone, looks wise, it is wrecking me head, help
Is he based on Conor McGregor too 😄
+1
It must be becoming a new trend? The family tree certainly needed to be explained in Smother
Tried to like it, didn't.
Inconsistent dialogue, the family did not behave like a criminal enterprise at all, and the minute the young lad said he was going to law school I knew he wouldn't be in the next episode ;)
I'll record the series and probably leave it in my library for the next 6 months. I really like Ciaran Hinds, I assume his role will be greatly expanded upon in the next episode(s).
I was fairly underwhelmed by that for a first episode tbh.... without the help of pictograms from Twitter, I hadn't a clue who was who, and related to whom and how. All felt a bit sluggish, and a lot of fairly wooden acting, and what sounded like v middle class acents trying to act more "dubalin"
It's a bad sign when I spend more time trying to figure out where the film locations were than keeping up with the storyline.
I'll give it one more episode, but it'd want to pick up the pace fairly lively to keep this viewer watching.
It's pretty poor writing when the family tree needs to be explained outside the show. I found the number of main cast with beards a headwreck too, very hard to differentiate them from the start.
Yes
Who was the last gangland criminal locked that had a man bun and beard.?
Great look to keep low key. Lol
He was great in The Wire and Project Blue Book, roles different to Love/Hate
Wasn’t impressed, but then Love/Hate started out fairly ropey too. Not sure if this can turn it around. Just didn’t ring true for me, and some of the dialogue pretty clunky.
Definitely saw the first victim coming, fairly predictable I thought.
Thanks
He was superb in The Wire. Gone downhill since then
She was simply trying to embarrass him.
Watchable, but predicable and a good bit of filler this week (more or less all the house scenes).
What was the mother talking to her son about the night he was conceived about? Honestly don't know what they were conveying, that they are a family that's very open with each other?
Thought there would be a serve but saw the trailer for EP 2
I think any child that doesn't want to fill out their CAO should be made watch that episode
I knew Jamie was going to be killed... wonder will Eric survive? this really will kick off a war between the 2 families...enjoyed the 1st episode
Gillen is the same in every single show hes in. Don't know why he's rated so highly. Same whispering husky menace voice in Peaky B, GOT, love hate. No range whatsoever.
Haven't watched ..might watch, when I saw the trailer .....Hinds hmmmmm
Gillen AHHHHHHHHHHHH
I know it right away but couldn't remember the name.
It's interesting when you know all these locations from a show but distracted when one comes up that you can't name.
Don't know how accurate this is!
Please don't ever mention Love Hate in the same stratosphere as the Sopranos.
Completely unbelievable criminal characters and poor acting. I'm out
CAO was filled by that stage more likely showing an insight to the family business how do ya know a junkies lying, he's talkin...
I enjoyed it to be honest. Now I did have the bar set very low, and I never saw Love/Hate.
Enjoyed spotting places I've walked along, blissfully unaware there were hardened criminals sharing the pavement with me.
