    Ah, touché.

    JohnBoy's paranoia has really been kicked up a notch this series, Aiden Gillen is doing a fantastic job.

    I didn't like him at all in the first series but he was great in the last episode. Overall I think is a really good production

    The show has taken a quantum leap forward in quality from the first series.More logical plots,more realistic,better acting(when John Boy slaps stumpy around it feels totally real-last season it wouldn,t have) faster pacing and better dialogue.

    Nidge showing his true sociopathic colors was chilling and I think the whole stupidity and seediness of that world along with the occasional flash of criminal competence was captured well.But the true standout moment was the scene where they showed the csi team working on stumpy transposed with the old irish ballad.Last season they never would have had the confidence or vision to try something more unusual like that.They would have just played it generic and safe.

    Hi all,
    does anyone know if the rte drama love/hate, which is on its secomd series, is to be more than a 6 part series this time? It started last year but was only a 6 episode series. Just wondering as obviously they brought it back for a 2nd series as it was well received so was thinking maybe this time round they will put a few more episodes into the series.
    Thanks

    The first season had 4 episodes. I believe season two has 6.

    + 1

    plus less humour and less of sheehan's character great series 2 so far for me

    Great stuff so far no doubt. i have to be honest i liked the first series. Perhaps it didnt meet its full potential but it was decent enough. 2nd series is a whole new ball game and its an absolute blinder so far.

    the acting is top notch - haven't seen any of these actors in anything except Love/Hate.(with exception of Gillen and Sheehan).
    Nice to see new talent once in a while.

    Yes it's spot on, not bad special effects either for TV.

    John Boy get shot in the shoulder by Fran as has has done Fran out of his shipment of gear.

    Fran now on the run.

    Meanwhile Nidge has been shaggin Fran's missus.

    John Boy has a sixth sense about this an orders Nidge to bomb Fran's house when the missus is in it.

    Which just happened before the ads.
