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.
This!
Jesus, the acting is utterly appalling in this.
The storyline is just about enough to keep me watching to see what happens next (not a lot, ever, seems to be the answer), but my god it drags on and on and on.
And does nobody have a ringtone any more?? They've gone the full distance from every phone having the Nokia or a ring-ring tone to everyone's phone buzzing. Puts my teeth on edge 😫 Is there a copyright on ringtones or something, that they can't all have a different one (like in real life, like)??
He is desperate..
You'll get all this from IMDB, as you probably well know.
Amanda and even Birdy seem to be pulling the strings, Hamlet style
You've been whinging about it since the first episode. Why continue to watch something you consider to be abysmal? 🙄
I think she is the rat for Eamonn
To sum up Kin so far I'd compare it to the new Boards.ie I was looking forward to it and I'm disappointed with it but I'm sticking with it.
Have always thought Aidan Gillen is a poor actor. Everything just seems so forced. Maybe it’s his voice or something? His accent in Game of Thrones was shockingly poor and varied from episode to episode.
Maybe I’m wrong I’d like to know peoples thoughts.
Because Frank thinks he's a thick ol' cnut!
Frank is supposedly clever so probably not proud of his runt of a son who fcuked things up.
I can see Amanda finding out that Frank knew Eric shot at Moore which resulted in them killing Jamie. Can see Frank getting killed by one of his own family. Don't think Gillen will be in a multi year series for this.
Is that the reason she smiled when drinking her tea
Well, I liked Taken Down. It starred Lynn Rafferty, who played Nadine in Love/Hate, and Jimmy Smallhorne, who played Git in Love/Hate. I thought they were good in it, particularly the latter. The story was good as far as it went. The last episode did leave some things hanging such as the Gardai not finding out who the latter was, which makes sense if there had been plans for a second season.
As regards Episode 4 of Kin, I thought it was good.
Why is Frank so nasty to Eric all the time?
The actor who plays Eric (Sam Keeley) is actually a very decent actor. The character of Eric himself is a very lazily wrote character though.
As far as episode 4 went, I think the episode appeared slow because most of the time was spent getting people and pieces into place. Not much actually happened but a lot of prep for the next episode(s) was done - sending Jamie's brother away, the police investigating the car dealership, looking for new suppliers, planning the robbery etc.
There was one on-screen murder, mention of 2 off screen murders (kind of glossed over that very quickly, never to be mentioned again)
If episode 5 is not very much action driven then I'm really going to question the point of the slow burn pace of episode development.
I'll definitely stick with it for the sake of it, but if Kin was on Netflix/Prime I wouldn't be giving it the time.
The only character that I'm interested in seeing more of is Eric. The rest are very flat.
Without doubt, probably the worst series I've ever seen. Atrocious. Even the leftists in the media couldn't defend this utter travesty.
It was Stuart Carolan's (creator of Love/Hate) next series, set mainly in a direct provision center. It aired about 2-3 years ago I think. Wasn't great, forgettable
This was the ill-fated 'Taken Down' which was aired three years ago. Alot of promise, as it was made by the makers of love/hate. Absolutely abysmal. Dialogue terrible. Riddled with wokeisms. Basically, how not to produce a drama. Even RTE canned it after a solitary season. Viewership plummeted in their thousands each episode.
What's this
Remember, no matter how bad we think it is.... it could be worse
I think tonights episode has put most on the Thread to sleep 😉
Ah well, I'm enjoying it and once I'm having my fun that's all that matters.
The spy who unzipped me 😁
Yeah exactly, sure there was no way back anyway, they were already at war 😅
Jesus that was pointless, you know it's bad when it's clear they could skip a few episodes to actually get to the point. Woeful Shyte
I could have just tuned in to the last 10 minutes and told Fudge was killed to know what went on in tonights episode.
There's an awful lot of just standing around in silence, staring into space, phones ringing, people in deep thought. Very slow.
Tonight's episode was decent
Gardai being portrayed as complete idiots, the female detective quite annoying and it's clearly her first acting gig.
Love hate was a cracking show. Well written, memorable characters and dialogue.
