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.
Yeah Jimmy the whisperer, forgot that characters name. Amanda sent her husband to a mission where Kem, who is already exposed as a snitch, was to be relied about to not double cross the Kinsellas despite it being financially lucrative and he got in with a much bigger more powerful gang if he did. Yet Kem is to be trusted with the lives of the gang members and it turns out he can be relied upon to do this. Why did Kem ever become a snitch? It makes no narrative sense?
the answer to your bigger question? Well it’s actually wrong in my case. I compared Kin in a post to Line of Duty saying it wasn’t quite as ridiculous plot wise as that show.
That pose reminds me of how the entire cast looked throughout the series (Comatosed) and obviously most of us on this thread. 🤣🤣
A website for reviews of TV and film I guess. I don't use it much. You can't count users as real critics though, can you?
Does 100% means it's actually 100% bad, is that it?
I didn't know you were being sarcastic when you said it was getting strong critical acclaim.
They didn't kill Eamon's boss but the son of his supplier. Michael probably hadn't been watching Kin every Sunday evening so he wouldn't have known who the guy was. He had to make the assumption they were two armed bodyguards and thus a threat.
No I don't, but I do think that RTE used a photo taken before the CGI guys did their stuff.
Which brother for which potential ambush? Jimmy with Kem and Con? Not sent by the Kinsellas but by his wife who had obviously scared Kem enough at his house to get him to play ball. All her decisions and predictions were smart and thought through and her intuition was right about Kem.
Michael is an experienced hitman. Not hard to suss out where the cameras are and act accordingly (disguise/cut wires/positioning). How many cameras per level? maybe two? The only place to get to Eamon and fate would determine whether there were witnesses or not. Sometimes the car parks full, sometimes empty. You take your chance.
A bigger question. Why do some posters here deem such a hit implausible in an Irish series yet not question them in international dramas?
Yeah I expect they CGIed the bullet hole afterwards (I don't think Ciaran Hinds would lose an eye in the name of art!) and RTE had or were given a still picture from filming.
A dumb boss would kill him immediately. Eamon was not dumb. Use Con to get the drugs back then deal with him.
Does that mean it was CGI-ed in after? Or the make up was done after the picture was taken?
Unless the stills photography took place another day - though that looked more like a film still than a photo still.
Presume they thought showing someone with a bullet hole for an eye was a bit too gruesome for a news story.
geebag tits prick fucknugget
didnt stop 'them' from nabbing me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙊🤐🙄
Mods nowadays have to actually witness the event in person, report function not functioning:)
Magic ! 😆
Looks like his eye healed amazingly well.
The Godfather riff was embarrassing, just absolutely cringe. If it was done as a way to poke fun at itself it would almost be funny, but they were dead serious lol.
Why did Jimmy get sick? Is he not a hardened gangster per episode 1?
Why did they kill Eamonns boss? They just made the situation a million times worse.
I find myself asking questions like this after each episode and the answer is usually that in order for the plot to make sense, everyone in the show has to be a complete moron and the audience need to stop thinking about it.
D’ya think the bullet just stopped after ruining his eye???
Was Kem offed?
Do you understand what Rotten Tomatoes is? It seems not.
It was a good show, only the first series, I look forward to the second
Eamon was shot through the eye, so whats the story with the photo of him lying dead in this article?
Have RTE messed up?

Waterford Whisper got shot down by having a black guy as a druggy.
With all the negativity on here, I'm keeping this short.
I thoroughly enjoyed the season. No, it's not perfect. Acting was anywhere from good to shockingly bad at times. Plot had holes, but then again, few don't. But it had plenty of tension, a decent story, and an interesting setting in Dublin.
No, it wasn't a Sopranos or a Breaking Bad in quality, but all the critics seem to forget that those shows are the absolute exception, not the rule. Kin slotted in nicely for me as a fun, interesting, and decent-quality show for eight weeks and I look forward to a second season.
Rotten Tomato users don't count as critics, do they?
Average rotten tomato user below.
whatever about the plausibility of Kem siding with kinsellas…. That the kinsellas would send one brother into a high percentage chance of an ambush is not plausible.
i said airports are crawling with police. The car parks are not but cameras, yes, and they are crawling with people coming and going. They could have showed Michael in a motor bike helmet and it would have been a little better. Otherwise we’ve to believe Michael uses a disguise to enter and leave the car park but takes it off in between.
One of the most unbelievable part of the plots was Con being allowed to get away scot free.
A proper ruthless boss like Eamon says he is would have put a bullet through Cons head the next day.
What timeline was this supposed to have been shot over? I'm assuming a month since they had the months remembrance mass.......and the 2 eeejits sat parked on the pavement all that time was it 24hr protection too? ............how many robberies and murders committed in that time 😂
Amanda saved Kem's life. He's weighed up his options and taken his chances with her. A wise move in retrospect.
The only possible place to get Eamon relatively vulnerable and Amanda knew it. I've been in a couple of Spanish airport car parks. In fact airport car parks all over the planet. I've never seen a single cop in any of them. Had Michael used a disguise entering and leaving the building? Has he disabled any CCTV? Getting to Spain on a false passport would be extremely easy and a hit that took 15-20 seconds wouldn't have a police response for several minutes by which time the assassin is long gone. Michael is not an amateur.
100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
500k on their heads yet they trust Kem to be loyal when they already know he isn’t. They send one kinsella on his own. Kem decides not to double cross the kinsellas forsaking a 6 figure sum and his own personal safety.
totally uncreditable.
the Spanish hit is just not plausible. Airports are crawling with cameras and police. And the logistics don’t add up.
