    I don't know what to make of it for the first few minutes. Watch it all. Very funny

    Bloody hell Goldie, you lasted longer than me.

    The typical Irish "comedy" that actually makes it in this country, while actually funny people have to go abroad to be successful.

    I got 2 giggles from it - "A fcukin bike" and "Well horse!". That's it. Terrible terrible sheit, written form the point of view of someone who has a grudge against the Gardai (I'm guessing). I sincerely hope this does not get funding a dies a complete death. It's not even funny if you look at it from a pish-take point of view.

    Is it do hard to make a proper series about the Gardai? God knows, there's a never ending stream of examples that can be used, and would make for some seriously good dramatic viewing. But no, people would rather watch series where criminals get glorified (and while Love/Hate is not a bad show, it glorifies the life of criminals).

    lighthearted entertainment

    got a few chuckles from it, alot of half truths in there. some of the gags have been done before

    loved the response to the armed robbery, very funny



    'NAVAN!? my daddy promised me dalkey!' - a direct quote from somebody no doubt




    but i agree with Potential Monke - i wish there was a sincere reflection of our police force in TV programs instead of the constant gombeen piss take angle

    Reminded me a lot of Reno 911. Not bad for a pilot. There are far, far less funnier things knocking about. With a bit of investment and a larger, more interesting cast it could be good.

    as it stands.... it's piss poor

    maybe with some investment and creative writing, it could be good

    but the predictable thick garda joke has been done to death.

    and with death, let it RIP
