Kin - RTE & AMC

Micheal has the same expression regardless of the occasion too so Anna must have got it from him

The close ups of Amanda's facial expressions also becoming tiresome, I'm sorry to admit, all I'm seeing and thinking of is that birth mark, it's like the director has an obsession with it

I may be missing the point completely here, but I read it that the Frank's situation is more like a Hutch than a Kinahan and like Patsey Hutch who is living under 24 hour garda protection in his home. And if the papers are to be believed lots of the Hutch "friends" and associates took the Kinahan side/money.

I agree with everyone about the Bren character.

5 minutes of actual menace and acting in 7 hours.

I was willing nasty Eamonn to blast 'Birdy' into oblivion, but alas.

The actress playing the mumbling Magician's daughter delivers her lines like a robot - maybe that's a character trait demanded by the writers of the whole Kinsella fambily except Bren who actually managed to move his head, not stare wistfully into the distance and delivered his lines with menace and realism.

I'm beginning to miss the Gillen characters weekly swiping on the 'Cruisr' app since the mishap last week - such a pivotal part of the storyline and all <yawn>

Production company notes should read, if there's to be (and there probably will be) series 2 - start from scratch, Bren and a few more realistic characters upfront, kill the rest of the Kinsellas off, change the writers/showrunner and actually fill the airtime with plot, dialogue, actors who can act and at a minimum, a hint of realism.

Big asses are in fashion these days.

you couldnt call what Anna does acting, wooden, a one size fits all facial expression no matter what the circumstance, and dialogue delivered in a one size fits all monotone, awful stuff.

As for the why are you watching it brigade, i am thoroughly enjoying how bad it is. Especially enjoyed Frank battering the bloke after being humiliated by Bren, so original, never seen that in a gangster movie before.

Birdy goes to meet Eamon supposedly to negotiate a deal and never does? did I miss something there??

Love the actor playing Bren he was great as Yoren in Game of Thrones

Bren is the best thing in the show. And the absolute worst is Jimmy, who seems to be attempting to convey menace by channelling a version of Ronnie Drew, whilst meaningfully eyeballing whoever he’s speaking too. He is absolutely appallingly bad.

Wouldn't you think they'd fix Michael's front door besides taping a bin liner over the panel? If they put a bit of timber on it itself!

He is a marked man after all. I know there is Garda protection but still

It may the default reply and not very helpful in the context of a discussion forum, but it is also understandable.

If I had a friend who was always complaining about the burgers from a certain restaurant, telling me how much they hated them and how they were the worst burgers ever - shite meat, wooden buns, cliched onions - worse even than the Fair City burgers, I would eventually suggest to my friend that he stops eating "the f...kin... burgers".

But that's just me 🤷‍♂️

In fairness to the lad, he has successfully killed three people and only "botched" the one where they hid in the storeroom - not a bad return.

I thought it was Pheilim Drew at first playing Bren, but then could see your’man was a bit older than Drew. He was very good I have to say, best scene of the entire series.

don't get how some people still think that gillen's character is based the kinahans. laughable.

Oh and Viking's missus is absolutely not out of shape 😍
