The Walsh Sisters [RTÉ One]

Maybe its because I have never read any of the novels but so far I am liking the show.

Its not perfect but it's certainly better than Fair City.

I don't I just admire the mirror RTE lends to us as a population and reflects back to us how Ireland is changing and growing. It's a great social commentator and does so without judgement or agenda. Thank you RTE for this and all your other shows.

Just finished the second episode. I hope the tone lifts again at some point.

The ‘If you’ve been effected by…’ message and voice-over that came on during the credits is so annoying and infantilising.

RTÉ fails largely in most ways as a broadcaster, including such reflections that many people seem to want. They don't see it because RTÉ largely aren't doing their job.

Indeed while RTÉ might suggest that Drama is important to them, almost all of their drama is co-produced and with that in mind it aims itself at an international audience, indeed RTÉ I'd say have little to no involvement in many of the local dramas that they "support".

Indeed any national broadcaster could do this, RTÉ happen to have been given the gig and have largely failed. IMO.

I believe that this series is largely funded by RTÉ themselves, which is usual.

I happened by this thread to see what viewers where saying, so sorry to butt in.

Stephanie Preissner has indicated on podcasts, that she's hoping RTE commissions Season 2.

The social media side of this has been well used by Preissner & she’s def angling for a second series. I was surprised her background is in acting, she was very wooden in it, prob the worst of them all
