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.
Was the guy who shot Fudge the same one that shot Jamie? Only saw him very briefly in the scene, the scrawny ginger lad.
He wasnt one of the guys in the callout vid that got sent to Eric afterwards (I think)
It is very average. It's slightly picking up. Not sure why the insist on different detectives in each episode/scene they are required.
I guess it becomes a heist series from this point on.
Love/Hate was great because a lot of its story showed the bad areas in Dublin and other seedy places, eg Wayne shooting the cat, Ado and his bird living in the grotty flats, the setting where Darren knocked on the door and shot the homeowner and kid I think, Frans caravan, all the old style pubs and seedy nite clubs.
Thus Kin seems more interested in showing the silicon docks area of dublin, and must have got a cheque from Aviva for all the landsdown road scenes. Too many slow scenes with close ups of Amanda face. And the hits, apart from ‘Caolain Moore’ have been filmed terribly.
do they even have many of the first names as the hutch/kin feud?
not too many caolan and nikkitas around
yeah several key moments in crumlin/drimnagh were in love hate, one i recall right now is the hotel cocaine bagging story, lads got high on their supply and drew attention to themselves
This is a textbook boards.ie thread for a homegrown TV series. For all the perpetual complainers there, you do know we live in the era of practically unlimited access to entertainment? You've seen four episodes now, nobody is making you...
Oh, and anyone saying this isn't 100% based on the Hutch-Kinahan feud is in lala land, it's as if they filmed the whole thing as it was happening.
I remember thinking the same about Love-Hate and the Crumlin/Drimnagh feud at the time, it was as if they had a hotline to events as they were happening.
I'm a bit freaked out by the way Birdy is, full stop.
She gives me the absolute creeps.
I'm a bit freaked out at the way Birdy is with Mikey
Well, he did start it all.
I'm not sure if its because my expectations were so low, but I found last nights episode 'watchable'.
It stepped up a level from crap to mediocre at least.
Charlie cox put in a solid performance. EMJ was absolutely woeful again, totally unbelievable, which is surprising as he can be quite decent in other things.
Anyway, I'm hanging on by a thread but there was enough last night to keep me watching, until the next episode anyway.
Birdy is the one I don't trust, something about her I'd be very suspicious of. The show is just way to slow for anything to happen and with it been a weekly release doesn't help it either
I know it's hilarious. Before the first episode was even on RTE Beechwood was telling us it was shite and he'd turned it off after twenty minutes! But four hours in and he's still watching it and still complaining - when it would be so easy to just it off. This level of obsession makes suspect there is some kind of agenda here - he's a disgruntled ex-RTE employee or a Virgin Media troll.
He'll certainly be getting less after this Shyte 😁
Does he charge less ?
Must be that .... Love/Hate only took off after his wooden acting/stunted speech left
How does Aiden Gillen still get work.
He is shocking in everything, between his terrible accents in Game of thrones, to talking out the side of his mouth is this and having the physical presence of my nan. He Just seems like a terrible fit for a gang land boss.
I 3rd That , the forced emphasis on the F word in last night's pathetic episode made me wonder were some cast members in urgent need of having to have a S****
This. Just this.
Couldn’t put it better myself
Unoriginal cliche ridden garbage compounded by awful acting
I said the same about Vigil, but they had an excuse, it was a drama centered around a Submarine 😁
a slow pile of steaming shyte .....
Re Peter McKenna, I actually saw that in an article in the Irish Times!
Re the attached article about Kin, I agree with most of that article and includes some of the reasons why I like it.
I laughed when I saw this review this morning, not at sure if the reviewer is looking at the same series as some of us.
I'm just amazed there's any positive feed back on this series, but then again, the equally awful Vigil (BBC) got 5 stars from various UK reviewers and that was a floating Turd disguised as a submarine drama.
Because he's a dumb ass
More a propaganda piece in opposition to " Direct Provision " than a TV series
Only the criminal portion :p
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 .
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.
Alright i tried my best and thought episode 2 wasn't that bad but last night was the end of the road for me.
