It's unclear if she continued with IVF or not

Hopefully that drippy cu*t dog and his scruffy looking owner will play a bigger role in season 3. Still, a fairly iconic scene for them this season, similar to the cat at beginning of season 3 in love/hate.

New family in season three.

Bren wouldn't put up with them windy c* nts.

You service them, I'll take Mikey 😁😉

I read that Kins showrunner stated a while back that it would be 3 seasons and that's that, now I'm reading that there may be a fourth, I hope so anyway.

Away from that, I was delighted Frank was the one to kill Bren(in my opinion Bren knew there and then that he was a goner, due to his line he said), do ya know something what I think I don't think Frank knew that Bren was a paedo, or that he interfered with birdy, (that was insinuated that he interfered with Birdy) it was never confirmed to us unless I missed something re Frank knowing, I know that Bren beat the crap outta Frank and it was possible Bren could've interfered with Frank as a child, as i mentioned I was delighted that Frank done the deed, but I'm raging that he done away with himself, the next season we could have learned more about him, I find that kin is premature, yet rushed, and gaps, however you feel engaged,

I wonder will the next season show Jimmy and Michaels mother and sister, even vikings mother, although my partner has this wild idea birdy(noticed her surname is Goggins, I wonder who her husband may have been and where is he now, i wonder does she have who own children) might be vikings mother, and Frank raised him as his own with birdy close by, my partner also has a theory that Nellie Wright that mother of the boys I think, is something to do with the Kinsellas, I mean there is an even bigger connection, Kin can be a bit vague on who's who to keep us guessing,

I should also add that although I didn't want Frank to go, I thought he shouldn't have been in Kin given Aidan Gillen was in love hate, at times I was saying to myself oh there's John boy, nevertheless he is a brilliant actor with great prowess and recognition, I assume that's how he landed the role, and he wasn't really like John boy, certain traits in my opinion were carried over, but I suppose that's what one might have limitations on as a person/actor, yet he's well faceted and has had a myriad of roles and is very successful in his own right, one of Ireland's emeralds.

The papers say that the filming of season 4 starts late September, that seems to fit his shedule?

I didn't realize he is British, no disrespect to him as he plays the role well, but it bugs me when non Irish people are cast to play Irish roles, we have plenty of wonderful talent in Ireland, some might say X y and z are better for the role, upon researching him I understand he's a draw for international viewers, in saying that based in Dublin, Ireland one would expect Irish actors to play the parts,

In my humble opinion, Aidan Gillen was also cast as he is renowned worldwide himself as a well established actor,

I find Jimmy played by Emmett J Scanlan to be underutilized, they could do more with him, and maybe season 3 is where he'll shine!

Also regarding Jimmy and Amanda, as we know Michael was Jamie's biological son, with Jimmy and Amanda going through IVF treatment, I'm wondering if Jimmy is infertile, that could mean that Anthony was born with the aid of IVF perhaps. There are so many unanswered plot lines...

Me Too

I don't object at all, I merely stated it bugs me, like I said he's a draw for international viewers, or sales as you put it, I don't know about a good job though, but that's just my opinion,

I've kinda shot myself in the foot here, as much as I praised Aidan Gillen, he is international renowned, and has played characters that are Brits and Yanks as you put it.

Even Maria Doyle Kennedy played a Spaniard in the Tudors and Jonathon Rhys Meyers - Henry VIII.

I think it's the way I see it, there are loads of local talent worldwide to play characters in their own country, but that is the fickle nature of the entertainment world, it's a hard vocation to be in, I will concede that it(non natives taking up a non native role) does work in some cases, it's hard work, having to master the accent and mannerisms, etc.

Never an issue re non-natives playing Irish characters. We have a multitude of actors playing British, American, Australian characters. Always have had.

I'm about 99% sure I saw Francis Magee walk past me on Laugavegur, the main street in Reykjavik, about a month ago. Anyone know if he's based there or whatever? He was by himself just walking down the street, kind of caught me by surprise, should've asked him.
