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.
Anyone else think amanda will be preggers after the night with Mikey?
It seems unlikely that she is undercover. But in the real world there was some British cop in the last 10 years who slept with more than one woman whilst undercover. However think the whole point of the scene where she saw the bullet proof vest was to show it wasn’t her world. Is it beyond possibilities that she just wanted one last ride with someone else before her wedding ?
Maybe Molly is using the wedding/honeymoon as a cover to get out and move pharmacy/location to get away from Michael, as she could never live that life? It could have been a pharmacy chain, so would be easy to move branch.
Anyone else just find themselves saying "De Baaatyouks" out loud when they jump back to a scene in Turkey
Ahh! That explains why the dude in the suit who's accosted me every time I've arrived there looking for his bus fare to Cordoba didn't appear on the scene.
I hadn't been there since before Covid and was getting a bit worried about him 😂
I’m only half way thru - why would you do that !!
you’re gonna give me a heart attack
It’s only rough St Stephan’s day
It's beyond me that they never check their wagons for tracking devices.
Viking wondering how the lollypop kids found him, hello!!!
Only thing Molly is undercover as is a cheating ho-bag.
She really is gone off to get married, she just needed to get one out of her system with a handsome bit of strange and the rugged organised criminal was just the ticket.
It was clear from Amand's facial expressions at the meeting with the local drug supplier, that she twigged there was something wrong with his sense of urgency in wanting the delivery within a week after he came in from the phone call outside. She has his measure and suspects he's in cahoots with the Batuk's.
At least the 2 hitmen got to enjoy there slushees before they were clipped
Good episode ... sets up next week nicely ... Like some other feel that Bren will end up being shot ... cliffhanger ... but survives for series 3 ... a la Darren Love/Hate 1-2 ... Between Bren v the others the Anna storyline and the Turks I get the feeling they will hold back some of these stories for series 3 ... but some fairly main character will get killed next week I'd say .... I confess the person at the end looked like Anna but I doubt it is her ... too much story for her to kill her off ...
I do feel that this Molly will not be all she seems ... I do not buy it that she is getting married somehow ... she has left or more likely was forced to leave/was frightened and left ... I didn't take much notice of her early on but she was prob in it since series 1 when Michael began having those epileptic fits ... but I do not think she is an undercover cop ....
The Turkish family and the Kinsellas remind me of each other ... the daughter is like Amanda and there is a Bren type lurking among the others who want more bloodshed ... could see Amanda and the daughter be allies trying to stop the tit for tat that is going on between both sides ...
Fair play to Gadgetman496...
Certainly not one of the better episodes ....Frank off his face and alone in a gay bar orgy, thought he was the only gay in the village
Her reaction to the bullet proof vest was a bit off for an undercover cop also.
Or an undercover guard having sex with a person of interest.
the cops putting a guard in a chemists in the hope of Michael turning up and attempting to start a relationship. Give over. Never mind the this undercover guard would also need to be an actual chemist to be allowed to assist all the other people who come in.
It isn't anyone we should know. It was just a lingering shot to show they've killed this innocent person.
I looked at it a few times and can't make out who it was hit by the getaway car.
When they were looking out the back window for so long I just thought wtf......now you just going to hit something.
I expect that Amanda is going to make a deal with the Turkish woman, she doesn't know her cousin is crossing her. Frank's a goner, isn't he? Thanks for the response btw.
Oh ok so no one knows who that person was that they hit lol I thought I had missed a scene with that character or something, especially since they focused in on the face for a moment. It definitely wasn't Anna.
Just another frustrating and stupid thing on this show. Immediately after a hit the two lads take off their masks (incredibly dumb considering there is still CCTV on streets everywhere AND they were speeding). But this is so the viewers can see who it was, even tho the voice gave it away to anyone with ears.
So they spoonfeed you that info, meanwhile they zoom in on the face of someone you've never seen before leaving you wondering why you don't recognize them.
And my God they are taking their time getting to the inevitable Bren whacking. I like some of the actors on the show and I basically will watch any crime/mob stuff especially on a Sunday with nothing else on but jesus the writing is terrible. The dialogue is flat and boilerplate stuff, so many nonsensical or farfetched plot points. I think they threw in the thing with Molly getting married just because other than that, and the events surrounding Eamon's getting whacked, it's incredibly predictable.
And it's actually quite an admirable achievement how any show can go a full hour without single joke or funny scene, week upon week. Tho I guess Frank passed out in the gay club was kinda funny. But beyond that I think the last time the show had any craic was when Viking answered the door to the guards bollock naked.
True but the view shown was pretty spectacular, it'd cost a lot to CGI it in some warehouse! And the villa and outdoor fountains looked pretty authentic.
I looked at the credits, there was a second unit, lots of Spanish names. It could have been the Canaries or Balerics maybe.
The one liner for ep8 is
Michael and Jimmy find common ground. Amanda proposes an unexpected partnership for mutual survival. Anthony and Nikita try to come to terms with the consequences of their actions.
The preview showed
Bren beating up Frank, with Jimmy in the background
Viking with blood splatter on one half of his face looking freaked out
Bren strangling the young lad who drove the car for Anthony
Yes looked like Italy but you never know. For the end of season 1 they used a car park in the southside of Dublin to represent Malaga Airport car park, they had Spanish plated added to the cars.
I think Molly is undercover. I don’t buy that she’s gettin married.
who was hit by the car?
Wonder where the Turkish villa scenes were shot?
The cars had EU plates anyway. Looks like Italy?
No way I thought the pharmacist was undercover....but now...what is going on there.
Had to laugh also when Mikey the Kinahan cold blooded hit man was having a beer, then a knock on his front door..."come on in, it's open"
May as well be unlocked anyway as it doesn't look like much of a door really, from a security point of view
I didn't even focus on what gender the casualty was. I just assumed that it was Frank.
Confusing tonight, especially about Molly.
The Turk who died was a better actor then Anna.
Don’t see why it needs to be Anna , some randemer makes more sense
