Kin - RTE & AMC

I know 2 clean head shots and one through the eye. Shite

Doesn't matter what we think of it anyway, going by the reviews the American's have lapped it up. 2nd season for sure

It was a bike I think and they showed a body with a trainer so I'm guessing it was Kem. If your going to clear house the rat has to be got too.

That would make sense as the trainers didn't look like what con was wearing and I really couldn't have been arsed to rewind to see.

Something like a 5/10 overall for me. Seems like they had all the right parts but it didn't knit very well.

Was impressed by Ciarán Hinds, thought he made a memorable baddie.

it was probably his first kill.

There's a difference between taking a life and beating seven shades of shte out of a lad

Who was he in it?

Viking 😲

Jaysus, I'd have been a long time guessing that - had to google it!

Utter shite wouldn’t come close to describing how rubbish it was, the final episode was incredibly bad, completely unbelievable, laughable stuff. It’s more of a comedy than anything else, you’d burst out laughing at the hopeless acting and ridiculous storylines. Pure muck.

I enjoyed the series. There I said it. :) Would have preferred to binged on it and not have to let it drag out so much.

Now it's back to succession for me.

But them Turkish gangster kingpins will never get past an Garda siochana parked on landsdown road. Unless they have tickets for a match!! Are ireland playing Turkey anytime soon?? Or they could even pass for Morocco or Azerbaijan.

The plane got diverted, then they got out on a bus back to Dublin.

It definitely wasn’t Kem he was burning. Kem got forgiven by Amanda and brought back into the gang.

It’s fairly normal after doing a bit to burn as much evidence as possible, clothes, weapon, car. It makes the dna unusable. Although most hitmen don’t bring a change of clothes for there and then, but a good hitman would dispose of their clothes after they make their escape.

Agree with you.

So many seemingly pointless asides and unfinished story lines / plot holes

- how is Jimmy not more peed off that his wife was with his brother?

- why has Birdie no role as such?

- would a social worker, solicitor or pharmacist really curse at customers in real life?

- why so many shots of Aviva and convention centre?

- how is Jimmy able to smell burning flesh by ironing someone's face but not able to shoot someone without freaking out?

- why have the Kinsellas no staff at all?

- what relevance was Frank being on Grindr/ being gay?

- what relevance was Michael shooting Anna's mother?

-what you said: what relevance was Eamons wife being sick, him attending an ayahuasca ceremony and having an approx 8 year old son- where did that kid come from? What was in the velvet box?

What was the significance of the woman in the pool?

- how did Michael appear in Spain, get a gun, know where he was meant to go, shoot in a massively public area with no mask, able to travel freely etc etc

- why was it not safe to go to Amsterdam or the pharmacy but OK to go to school, cafe?

- what made Frank overdose? He was a soft touch all along so why give a shite about that now?

- Jimmy and Amanda were all loved up at the start (sex scene), by thr end they were barely talking. Also someone else here referenced Jimmy telling her what her place was and suddenly he's OK with doing her bidding?

- why would Eamon give anyone "chances " and not annihilate them all to get his 50m drugs back? Esp when he was being charged for the privilege by his Big Boss

- why would Con not burn Anthony (why isn't he Anto?) anyway for what they did to his kid dousing him in petrol?

- how was it thwt easy to steal the drugs and store them? What was the point in stealing them in the first place- they weren't selling them, they just used them as a "hostage " in the end. Pointless

- why did Eric ask Nikki to get thr "witness" killed. Surely there was up to 40 people at the party who would be more than happy to testify against the "no staff" Kinsellas? Plus it was the 4 traffic cameras that got him.in the first place- they can't kill those.

- what will they/ havr they been doing for money if they're not selling and not laundering? If neither Kinsellas nor Eamon have drugs to sell, wouldn't there be someone else willing to supply the customers in that vacuum?

- did they give Eamons "Jimmy piss money" back to him or was he cool with just gifting it as an oops for killing Jamie?

- why are Jimmy, Michael and Frank so close in age. If Bren had the 2 lads at 20 and they are 40 ish now (have to be as Jamie was 17) that would make Bren and Frank nearer 60 if not older

There are loads more I can't think of now as well as loads of incredulous stuff such as the cafe shooting, the middle of the road meet ups with no consequences etc.

That aside it was something to do on a Sunday evening when I always get a bad case of the Glenroes so....

Edit: Season 2- if it happens. What in the name of Jaysys makes the "no staff" Kinsellas think they can take on the "Big Boss" when they barely survived Eamonn and even Eamonn wasn't willing to piss off the Big Boss.
