    Not loving drama. Think I'll stick to documentaries

    Its ok-ish, early days yet, although it comes across like one of those Maeve Binchy type novels, romance against the backround of certain events, the usual.......

    I have that damned choir/orchestral "And a yooooooo, give yourself away, and yoooo give." in my bloody head all day.

    I can imagine U2 sitting down and listening to it tonight:

    Bono: "Edge, man. that's like... what the song really needed. A choir and string section, yeah".

    *Edge pauses for a second*

    Edge: "Choir and strings with a 300ms delay".

    That one reminds me of Maeve Higgins.

    Thought that was a very decent start to the series! Well worth a watch - production values as good as anything RTÉ have done.

    It is odd hearing a unionist with a Derry city brogue but the actor Andrew Simpson who plays George is Protestant funnily enough.

    A decent start.
    It's hard to develop the main historical players in a just a few scenes. You do sort of need to know your history to understand who is who and in what context they're behaving.

    Looking forward to next week. Hopefully the action will kick off!

    Just dawned on me - it's Rose from Downton Abbey! (I think....)

    Haven't a notion what her real name is though.

    Its sold to the US already, SundanceTV partly funded it. They're doing well with the historical drama stuff, Deutschland 83 was theirs as well and was superb.

    I'm on another online site and a few northern Irish mothers are too.
    I was really surprised to hear them totally refer to themselves as British. To them they live completely in British. I know that's the fact but I think we are fed this notion that northern Irish would prefer to be under Irish rule but the opposite is true. To them ireland is a completely different country.

    To be honest we could probably do without statements like this, the thread would probably be locked by midnight.

    Great start, I know next to nothing about the 1916 rising but it looks really promising.

    Was Michael Collins in the episode? I saw a photo of the actor but heard no ref to Collins in the ep, nor did I see the actor.

    Collins wasnt a major player in the Rising, he might appear briefly in the GPO scenes which won't be til later.

    Collins wasn't a major player in the 1916 rising . He did take part but came more to prominence after 1916

    Excellent. Only downside is that is was a bit confusing at parts, hard to think of them as "the engaged one", "the soldier one", "the spy" etc

    I think it sets it up very well avoiding melodrama and showing all the shades of grey.
    It keeps it low key because we know what is going to unfold but the characters don't suspect they are on the cusp of a transformation.
    I think that keeps us gripped.

    Love/Hate cast all over it, I'm expecting to see Nidge running a Georgian knocking shop in episode 2.

    Enjoying it so far, it's made me appreciate the old Dublin buildings that you can see in the show, no major CGI work needed to bring back the old early century look, great city for filming such an era.

    Looks brilliant, and acting is excellent so far, too early to comment on content.

    We only see a brief glimpse of Joseph Plunkett the man with the glasses and the bandaged neck at the table with Tomas Clarke and Sean McDermott when the girl delivers the document to Pearse. Collins was Plunkett's aide de camp. At the time he was living in a barn at Larkfield estate near Dublin after leaving his job with the Royal Mail in London. He was a complete unknown then.
