    Really good stuff so far.
    I could see Season 1 (4eps) and 2 (6eps) being packaged as a single 10 episode season and finding a slot somewhere in the States. Fairly sure it would have no problems getting an audience (who wouldn't notice things like accents etc that we do). Which would hopefully allow RTE to commit to a 8 or 10 episodes next year - theres definitely scope to expand the story and for example bring the police side into it.

    SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY IS FROM A WORKING CLASS AREA IN DUBLIN

    really is pants.

    I've never heard a working class Dubliner use the word pants as an adjective.

    CALLING ALL IRELAND WITH A MESSAGE FROM SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY IS FROM A WORKING CLASS AREA IN DUBLIN AND HAS KNOWN SOME SERIOUS SCUMBAGS IN MY TIME

    This attempt by the D4 based RTE types to portray a realistic 'gritty' gangland working class Dublin, really is pants.

    Nobody from working class Dublin talks like they do on love/hate

    Nobody from working class Dublin dresses like they do on love/hate

    No criminals/scumbags act like they do on love/hate

    The whole thing looks like its shot around Knocklyon or Castleknock, not places you would find many tough gangsters

    Id imagine if it were filmed round the likes of the Inner City or Finglas the 'tough guy' gangster actors of this show would get eaten alive

    And I dont know many gangsters who look like lead character of Love/Hate, with his indie band haircut, Brown Thomas getup and stick thin skeletal figure.

    Not a nike tracksuit, one back and sides haircut in sight

    Im afraid for me its just hate instead of love/hate

    Again RTE and the Irish film industry fail in attempting to capture working class Dublin

    I think it's great - fair play to RTE.

    They did a great job making Tommy look like a (hot) knacker - and he HAS a short back and sides complete with fringe gelled down!Where I come from, that is knacker-chic!! Aidan Gillen is very clean cut looking but he has the snarl down to a T, so that makes up for it. The ginger heroin addict is poor, but it is believable that she is a little rich kid gone wrong either... So we'll give her the benefit of the doubt. Fran from Chill insurance also has the sneer perfected, good man Fran! Your one with the fake boobs looks, smells, acts and talks like a tramp so she's sorted, the creepy new young fella is naive looking but rough around the edges aswell, Ruth Negga is thankfully not in this series as she is as intimidating as a koala bear, and While I have said in the past that Darren looks like a fairy - it is also somewhat believable because his character doesn't actually want to be a criminal. PLUS, maybe his father was a dashing mexican drug overlord and his mother was a cocaine-addled model and that's how they produced such a adonis-like specimen...? Just because he's hot and tanned doesn't mean he can't be a gangster - it's certainly not the norm, but its possible!

    And nidge is great - what was once a kind of funny characature of the dublin scumbag has now taken a more sinister turn as he pledges his undying loyalty to the gangland world.

    All in all, I'm pretty happy with it!

    JohnBoys house is in Ballybough - pretty rough IMHO. Also, the top dogs usually buy houses in nice areas no?
    Another scene had them down around the canal near Rialto, and one just round the corner from me on Church St. Far from CAstleknock or Knocklyon...
    And I work up near Finglas with people that would be northsiders for life and funnily enough, they wear jeans and tshirts aswell!

    Have heard a few comments now in various places about no way Robert Sheehan could be a gangster, or no way could Aiden Gillen be a gang boss - people need to wake up and realise 2 things: It is a fictional television drama taking inspiration from our gangland problem and also, not all gangsters are fat knackers in tracksuits (which is what I was told by a very naive friend that they should actually be portraying if they want to portray gangland Dublin)

    Wonder what tonight will bring?

    On a calmer note- not all drug dealers fit the picture of the 'how a ya' scumbag.I worked for years in an environment where these guys could dress up or down like a chameleon, to suit their needs.Joe Soap would be very surprised what/who some of these guys really are.

    Yes this is a fictional drama- but it's a good one.

    Stop yer cribbin.

    Its the best thing to come out of RTÉ in yonks.

    + That last scene just now was shot along the Grand Canal and Red Luas line.

    Nowhere near Knocklyon or Castleknock.

    There are some people around who had to deal with that back in the 1960's.

    BTW, as long as Fran ends up being ate by his own dogs, I'll be happy.

    Reminds me of a time when I first met an ex's parents.. After dinner, we all sat down to watch a DVD ... American Psycho... I didnt know where to look as Christian Bale's arse was bobbing up and down on the big screen..
