Its interesting - he knows she's lying to him at every step but still keeps her close. I'm laying money (though not with the Shelbys) he's a patron of galleries himself.
I did like the way Sam Neill went from beaten copper to diabolic vengeance upon an uppity child in about two seconds flat.
This show will travel if the writing keeps up. The wee pretend gangsters in Love/Hate look midgety by comparison.

Speaking of which.... Tom Vaughan-Lawlor is going to appear in Peaky Blinders as an IRA man apparently.

Nice one. I was wondering when the genuine non-singsong IRA were going to show up with an offer from Uncle Mick.

Cillian Murphy is Irish - well , Republic of Cork but near enough.
Sam Neill was born in Northern Ireland but was raised from childhood in NZ and established himself as an actor in Australia. He does accents well though so has often played Americans for cash.
There might be an American or two in there somewhere but it is a BBC production as said above.

All actors work for 'cash'. Jobs do that. Sam Neill is Irish having been born in Omagh, County Tyrone and is very proud of his Irish roots and has an Irish passport - source? I have met him and he told me so himself.

RIP Nidge. No wonder he's depressed if thats how his previous life ended.

The finale of series 1 is next week apparently. I've really got into the story and characters over the last couple of episodes, it's good stuff. Hopefully there's a second series.

Fantastic episode. Murphy and neill have been excellent throughout

I thought that was the finale. One to go is good news. I saw an interview with the shows creator where he said he was already writing series two. So that looks positive.

exactly the same, was looking forward on a thursday night to the next episode. Cillian is brilliant to watch have to say, great accent to. will there be a second series though, dosent strike me as you could really expand to to far with this series? maybe im wrong.

ricero · 11-10-2013 01:57PM

I read a report in the paper a few weeks ago that there already planning a 3rd series

Dozen Wicked Words · 17-10-2013 09:25PM

Watched the final episode tonight, enjoyed the series, definitely worthy of 2nd season. Good to see historical drama from a working class POV.

K-9 · 17-10-2013 10:10PM

Thought it was a bit hit and miss tonight, Cillian not figuring out she was a spy just was too weak for me, the shootout was just too staged as well.

Neill was good again, the acting in the scene at the start with the prostitute was excellent, played the stereotypical Ulster Prod from that era brilliantly.

FloatingVoter · 18-10-2013 09:36AM

I suppose the final gunshot was Sam Neill ending it all. Hopefully not. Looking forward to season 2 already.

what did Thomas say at the end in his letter to grace??

> wonder did he tell the police chief where Grace was??

Kerrydude1981 · 18-10-2013 12:28PM

no he said he would give her his answer in 3 days. apparently she asked him to go to new york with him. maybe in the end she took out her gun and popped sam neill...john wayne style. really enjoyed the series even if cillian did recover very quickly from that gunshot wound. very quickly

ViveLaVie · 18-10-2013 06:24PM

Really enjoyed the series. It's well shot and directed with great acting, particularly from Murphy and Neill.

I did think Tommy should have copped that it was Grace betraying him but I guess he was blinded by his feelings.

Really looking forward to series 2.

Has anyone found they get a weird reception when they mention the show to others? Nobody I know has heard of it and their initial reaction to my recommendation is, "What a weird name".

ricero · 18-10-2013 10:08PM

Fantastic ending to a fantastic season

Prop Joe · 09-12-2013 11:36AM

Just finished it last night,Very good show,The IRA Singing was a bit cringe but other than that was v.good...Hope Grace got it at the end.
