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.
Scanlon was in Constantine as Jimmy Corrigan (aka The Spectre) and Krypton ( as Lobo) , so Cox isn't the only cast member to play a superhero..
I've been harsh on this as it's Irish but thinking about it now after episode 2 it's no worse than the dubbed rubbish on netflix I've watched. At least experience of those has made me realise episode 3 is a waste of time 😁
where is the second episode? only ep1 on rte player
Offshore. Won't be on RTE Player until Sunday when show airs here.
I am enjoying it. Few weird things going on, the car crash, the pissing in the bag and the blowy in the car.
Expecting Michael to go on a mad one.
Never saw Clare Dunne before so I thought her eye thing was going to be a focus in the show.
Kinda sick of Maria Doyle Kennedy. Wasn't she in Love/Hate too?
I haven't finished the full first episode yet but it's watchable. A bit samey...the cool/calm big boss stamping over the smaller, more worried dealer.
I don't think Maria Doyle Kennedy was in Love/Hate. Aidan Gillen and Maria were in the film Sing Street as husband and wife. She was also in the film The General where she played Martin Cahill's wife.
Ah maybe Sing Street is what I was thinking of
Found episode 2 a bit slower but still good
Yep didn't expect that from Frank
I think it would be fair if we presumed most people are watching on RTE so a request for no spoilers if watching ahead of that schedule ?
Ah yeah, if you watch the trailer it gives away whats going to happen next. Although it's a pretty expected outcome. Still not a huge fan of this so far but still gonna watch episode 3 where it will probably liven up
Enjoyed the first episode but I thought episode 2 was fairly poor
I'll stick with it but it'd want to improve fairly quickly in the next couple of weeks
I couldn't care less about your man's daughter, that type of storyline has been done to death elsewhere. Yawn
Enjoyed the second episode. Sets it up well for the 3rd were you expect some retaliation and Mike to come out.
Find your man, Jamie's dad (Not Mike), the absolute ringer of Mack from its always sunny in Philadelphia so find him hard to take serious but that's just me. Otherwise looking forward to next week!
I'm guessing Mike's wife was caught in the crossfire which ended up with him killing the murder and been jailed or something
Irks me that they keep saying 'police'.
AMC+ airing ahead of RTE
Ciaran Hinds has been in a few films based on Graphic Novels, he was Steppenwolf in Justice League.
I mentioned before that Maria Doyle Kennedy was in The General. Also: Aiden Gillen was in The Courier, Ciaran Hinds was in Veronica Guerin and Emmet J. Scanlan was in Breakdown. Were any other of the cast in gangster-related films?
Some have turned up in Northern Ireland "troubles" related films.: Emmet J Scanlan - Anton, Aiden Gillen and Ciaran Hinds - Some Mother's Son.
The lack of a good soundtrack is huge on the show compared to love/hate
I love the production, very high quality.
How many episodes in this season?
There was 1 reference to the 'shades' in the first ep..........haven't heard that since I was in school and that wasn't yesterday 🤣
Is that ad with the guy who plays Jimmy just to celebrate irish drama or is it actually part of Kin ?
Good luck to them figuring out what 'filling in the cao' means then.
Fierce bang of fair city after dark off it
The mother says something about college when talking about it so they'll probably figure it out based on the context.
That could mean a lot of different things to an American audience 🤣

Gotta disagree. The music from David Holmes is very subtle and I think we'll all be impressed with it by season's end. They did very well to get him.
Presume Holmes was offered his usual fee and duly agreed.
He chooses carefully and doesn't spread himself thin. Last few were Killing Eve, Mosaic, Death & Nightingales, London Spy and The Fall. Six series in six years, turns down far more than he accepts.
