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.
I'm only watching it for Bren at this stage, he's a horrible individual and what the show needed. Has the physical presence and demeanour of a gangland thug.
And you just know he'll be offed or end up back in prison.
True, but the only actual sparks of emotion he's shown was in S1 when the attempt was made on his life and after his visit to Bren where he battered some rando in the prison carpark! In S2 it was when he had a go at Amanda for trying to push him aside, that's pretty much it so far
Narratively, Frank doesn't make much sense in this world. And I've never understood what purpose he serves in the story. If they end up killing him off this season, I'll be questioning why they even brought him back in the first place. They have to be setting him up to kill Bren or something because otherwise, what else is he going to do?
I think it would be funny if Bren wore a ballerina dress.
He's already told the priest he's not sorry for anything he's done. So I can see him completely putting his church going aside, and come down against Bren while siding with Amanda. He's smart enough to know she's doing things the right way, and he's been pushed down by his brother for too long.
I think he is so depressed.. not Gillen, Frank!
He is struggling with that part I agree.
Frank has survivors guilt and PTSD with the hallucinations, he's somewhat shellshocked Bren got out, when they went to visit him last season to asked Bren to protect Viking Bren said no as it could hurt his parole he obviously did help Viking as they're now very close. Frank has lost his place in the family hierarchy but given the family are about to split and take sides he could end up picking up the pieces by the end of season 2 and be in charge or he could end up being a casualty due to distractions he is dealing with.
Maybe that's his storyline then, he ends up being sorry for what he's done.
I never watched emmerdale, but in the RTÉ ad about drama, peaky blinders, the deceived and this EJS is pretty much looks the same and acts the same.
Something big needs to happen with Frank, why else was he not killed off after the S1 finale? I thought he was dead, he hasn't made any impact on the story line so far in S2, so I'm guessing something must be brewing with him.
I think he will kill Bren in the last episode. Bren is a 1 season hurricane, he is too volatile to stay alive with so many enemies.
Kem is listed as being in it up to S02E04 and Bren S02E08
that is a real spoiler! before it's even aired!
I think the Turks will kill Bren. Amanda will offer him up to the Turkish daughter as a patsy for ordering the hit on her brother so they both consolidate their positions.
I like your way of thinking!
Something along those lines I think also. With perhaps Birdie helping too - it's gonna be girl power bringing him down.
I don't know why people are giving out about the cast I think they're all doing fine jobs. I do kinda wish they hadn't put Gillen in though because he was just in Love/Hate and Peaky Blinders as well. 3 gang shows on the trot. Give someone else a chance.
Charlie Cox has also played a gangster before in Boardwalk Empire but he's impressed me in everything I've seen him in, I'm glad he's in the cast for this, the other lads are very 'one note'.
They haven't killed anyone in a while other than the Delaney guys and one of them did it to himself so I'm pretty sure Kem is not going home to his baby. In fact once they showed her it was a 'dead cert'. Have to hammer home the impact of getting mixed up in the street life and all that. There's no when else to whack as the other ones are core players and then this setups them going after Bren who is going to definitely go the way of every Sopranos character who got out of prison and stepped on everyone's toes - the 3 times it happened they were all gone off the show by season's end.
iirc Gillen initially rejected the role, they apparently really wanted him for the role.
I want to see a full on crazy Micky that we've seen glimpses of this season against Bren and to an extent Anna at the party (thought the fella who was chatting her up would come out been all cheeky only for Micky to go mental on him)
2.4: So, Michaels gonna be getting with yer wan in the pharmacy and Bren is gonna be killed.. just by who. I wouldn't take the kid who was doing all the murdering in season 1 off the table for that part.
Something like, spending too much time killing Kem and losing the vital info that Kem would've brought to take out this Wright kid.
Can't believe Bren beat up Amandas driver like that. Amanda is gonna have to do something back I'm guessing.
Damn
Poor Kem
Strong scene
Well they didn't kop out on that
brilliant scene 👏
I am finding it hard to watch with Bren in it . I actually enjoyed seeing a human side to them until he arrived like a rabid rottweiler
these molly and mikey scenes are so boring.
Viking to be the one that clips Bren perhaps?
God damn, Nikita is hot stuff
Women do love a little danger ( will the pharmacist hang around though? )
Mikey worst character in it and that's saying something
Actually no it's Molly wow woeful
Asked and answered 🤣
One look at the bullet proof vest in the wardrobe and she's outta there!
