Was very forgettable. The Grandfather “Bran” out of jail has added a bit of cut to it.
It’s in ballyboden . Was a Rough spot back in the day … think the Viper was running it for a while

Still some heads involved with it.

Bren seems a bit too fond of birdie
Think Whitechurch is in the parish of ballyboden …
The first season was dire. One of the worst things I’ve seen RTÉ come out with, which is some going.
I’ve started watching Season 2 after seeing positive comments on here and elsewhere. It’s still as utterly ridiculous as S1, but they have ramped up the pace and action so that every scene seems like a pivotal moment. It’s definitely working so far.
Never watched it, only saw the ads. Do the scumbags still have unrealistic inner city Dub accents put on by posh actors?
It is not a patch on Love/Hate but I must say I found the second episode of Kin from the second season very good. I’ll watch the third later today.
The Bren character seems to be pretty much whatever you’re having yourself in terms of an evil bastard.

Which is it? Surely inner city Dub accents would be realistic, regardless of where the actor comes from

The bits I saw, it was some odd Dublin accent, but defo not an Anto accent.
Love/Hate was amazing really, top class. Continually being repeated too

Extraordinary given RTE’s history in the area.

Here’s my tracker mortgage moment - I never watched Love/Hate. It’s on the Player. Should I?
Yes - It’s a genuinely good show

As slick a production for a series ever produced here. If.youd seen it on HBO, it wouldn’t have looked out of place.

any riding in it ?
Yes.
That’s some coat Marty Morrissey is wearing on Nationwide.
Yes. Series one was probably made a bit cheaply - production values got better after that.
Are the original songs from credits on the version on the Player. I recall reading they weren’t licensed beyond the airing dates. They were brilliantly used.
