Kin - RTE & AMC

I always struggle with what constitutes a lead role for these awards. This doesn’t help cause I wouldn’t have said Sam Kelley was in a lead role.

The IFTA’s are a joke of a competition. Never seen such a poor production a few years ago when it was on tv. It was an embarrassing effort.

And yet the Irish public, the American public, Irish critics, international critics and now awards voters are in disagreement with you. How wrong they all are.

Not to the general public nor the media. For those few moaning on this thread you’ve effectively been ignored by the viewers, critics and awards voters.

Worry not, Season two will doubtless give you plenty to whinge about.

Nothing factually incorrect, its a sh!t tv show by any metric. Whingebag whinges about whinging..... what was so good about it so?

Love how people are using a few IFTA awards as a gotcha moment.

The IFTAs have about 5 TV shows to choose from each year so Kin was bound to win something.

It's a joke of an awards ceremony that nobody cares about. It is what it is.

Not 'something' but 6 out of the 7 of the TV awards. An overwhelming win I'd say.

And what posts from 6 months ago? Please enlighten me and give a date please. I've not looked beyond this page.

Not really passionate, I've just no time for begrudgers whingeing. Constructive criticism yes, and the show deserved plenty.

An average year I think, Kin deemed to be better than Hidden Assets, Smother and Vikings:Valhalla which is fair. Kin is 8/10 for me and will improve. 2020 was a stronger year.

Love/Hate's first season was pretty average, and the same people were slagging it off throughout. In a decade they'll be slamming another crime series and saying it's no match for Kin. Negativity, every country has it but thankfully the noisy few here are very very unrepresentative of the audience for Kin as viewing figures, critics and awards show.

Yep its definitely everyone else thats whinging, christ do ya have any self awareness? The show is muck and the iftas are a joke, get over it.

Seathrun66, you are wasting your time trying to argue or reason with people on here about this. But I suppose if you've spent the last few months slagging off a show about its acting and writing, and then it wins lots of awards for its acting and writing, the obvious thing to do is slag off the awards. If people want to hate Kin, let them off. Same people were probably slagging off Love/Hate when it first came out, now it's the best show ever made.

I agree with about it not being perfect, but for a first series I enjoyed it, and will watch again. What I thought was interesting when they announced it was coming back for another series, was all the stuff about how well it had done for AMC in the US, they said it was one of the biggest hits on their platform last year, and brought in loads of new subscribers. Not bad for an Irish show a that is "muck".

Definition of whingeing -'complain persistently and in a peevish or irritating way.'

Yep, the use of 'muck' and 'a joke' fits therein.

Love/Hate got thoroughly slagged off here by the usual crew.

Fast forward to 2032 when the same people will be slagging off the latest show and complaining that 'it's no Kin.' I await that moment.
