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.
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
Yeah exactly, sure there was no way back anyway, they were already at war 😅
The spy who unzipped me 😁
Ah well, I'm enjoying it and once I'm having my fun that's all that matters.
I think tonights episode has put most on the Thread to sleep 😉
Remember, no matter how bad we think it is.... it could be worse
What's this
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.
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
Without doubt, probably the worst series I've ever seen. Atrocious. Even the leftists in the media couldn't defend this utter travesty.
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.
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.
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.
Why is Frank so nasty to Eric all the time?
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.
Is that the reason she smiled when drinking her tea
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.
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.
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.
I think she is the rat for Eamonn
You've been whinging about it since the first episode. Why continue to watch something you consider to be abysmal? 🙄
Amanda and even Birdy seem to be pulling the strings, Hamlet style
You'll get all this from IMDB, as you probably well know.
He is desperate..
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)??
This!
Alright i tried my best and thought episode 2 wasn't that bad but last night was the end of the road for me.
I'm enjoying it. The slow pace doesn't bother me. One thing that did bother me though is that detective who was saying she'd be back to seize computers from the car dealership. She is an awful actress.
Amanda saying no name down for that rental car .."it must have been a walk in". As if every dealership wouldn't be legally obliged to take a copy of the person's driving licence before they took the car.
Far too many holes in the writing and too fecking slow, but I'll keep watching as it's something of aa Sunday night .
Only the criminal portion :p
