Kin - RTE & AMC

I agree. There didn't appear to be a great deal of planning for the heist but I guess if they know the location, layout and numbers defending the place there's not much else to glean. Four guys taking on 10/12 and reinforced doors of course. I'd expect the Kinsellas to pretend to be seeking to buy at first and then surprise them. Could be good or may be a damp squib. Much of the series hinges on this episode I think.

He is married to a producer (if not an executive producer) of BRON media, she could even be their CEO.

Hope they bring their Covid passports.

There is all that but it's a tv show not a documentary at the end of the day .....suspension of reality a bit maybe rather than overthinking it

I mean I loved the first Matrix film for example, you wouldn't buy into any of it matter of factly 🤣

Was never a fan of the follow ups, don't know why ......you left the first one thinking there has to be more.....then you left the others thinking they should have just left it alone

AMC are the main funders of the project along with Screen Ireland (AKA The Irish Film Board). Love/Hate was fully funded by RTÉ, picked up by Netflix at one point and the first 2 season got to Channel 5 in the UK. Both get funding from Section 481 tax break, I still have no idea how that works.

Normally no, but they're in a position of desperation and it'd be closer to 5kg they'd be looking to buy. What other option would they have? If they come in all guns blazing the reinforced doors and security protection will be shut down within seconds.

Anyway I assume the episode iis already available online so spoilers on the way soon.

If they cut off the current supply from Eamon and weaken his hold they're in a position to establish contact with his suppliers. Eamonn will look very weak if he can't supply people for 5/6 weeks (a complete guess on the stash).

The suppliers wouldn't like a disruption to the status quo but money counts. Though realistically, for the Kinsellas to usurp power would need to cut off the head of the Hydra.

It's all hypothetical, and almost certainly nonsensical guessing, but the family will have to do something drastic to survive. They can't function alongside Eamon for the future. Maybe Amanda does a deal with him to hand over Eric and Frank in return for the safety of herself, Jimmy, Michael and her son?

You're probably right, it's reckless and maybe dumb. But I remember watching Vic Mackey in The Shield robbing the russian mafia "money train" and thinking that's insane, but still enjoying it. Isn't that what characters in tv shows do?

Yeah, it was brilliant - right to the end. Especially the ending, an almost perfect sign off.

Finally got around to watching and while it's no love/hate, it's alright but its got some weird elements to it. The whole family dynamic is weird and outright confusing. So, there's a line that Eamon says to Frank, "you and your whole **** inbred family," I don't think that would just be a random insult he would say. So I assume this can be seen with the kiss on the lips that Birdy gave Michael in the first or second episode? That's just creepy as hell and not to mention that scene with Amanda and Jamie where she was like moaning, that was disturbing.

I'm also confused the most with how they're portraying Frank, is he supposed to be like a weak leader that no one takes seriously? I get that Aidan Gillen may not be the most convincing at playing a "terrifying gangster" but Frank so far is written as one of the least effective crime bosses ever. Though, I think his sexuality comes into play here, whether he's gay or bi, in that world, it would be hard to be well respected. Regardless, he doesn't even react when his orders are disobeyed, I dunno I thought they would make him a bit more imposing but he's a pushover. Nonetheless, I would imagine that this is just a whole set up to get Frank out of the way eventually and have Amanda take over I guess.

In the scene where Anthony was going to stay with his grandaunt after Jamie was killed.

He hugged his mum before he left with Birdy, there was something strange in the way he looked and hugged her, almost sexual .
