Ted B @Movieaddicted 2d 2.5 stars; and a generous grade it is. What moves it from 2 stars is the acting cast. They did a decent enough job, creating zany characters for the comedy aspect. I discovered this film because it was given as a similar film to "Dept. Q," which I thoroughly enjoyed, and I'm anxious for the next Season. The only similarity I can figure is the diverse group of characters trying to solve a cold case mystery. It certainly benefited from the beautiful Irish countryside as a backdrop. Other than that, the writing sucked. How many F-bombs do you need to sell in a 5-minute scene? Way too many in this case. Hard to believe that it is so standard in the Irish village vernacular.. Also, the pacing was slow. They could have accomplished the same thing in 4 episodes. You only need so much of the local color. See more The Artful D @TheArtfulDodger 3d Shite. Pure shite. A big steaming mountain of 100% pure shite. Shite writing. The players were fine; did what they could with it. But my God. A complete non-story wrapped in Irish charm and chaos. Did I mention it was shite? Well it was. Complete, unadulterated shite.

Amazing actors, beautiful scenery, interesting plot and adorable quirkily British (or: Irish) characters. You have to love quirky characters and black humor to enjoy the whole thing. In this series, the characters and their relationships as well as their personal growth are more important than the murder mystery itself. This might bother some viewers but in times of trivial, predictable run-of-the-mill TV series this one really feels like a breath of fresh air.

The three leads are all despicable in their own ways, but it’s the vicious, manipulative, vindictive "journalist" that had me hoping that I’d get to see her die painfully at some point. #2 is the "dogsbody" who, thanks to a couple of sentences murmured in her ear, morphs into an unstoppable bullying juggernaut bereft of any recognizable human emotion except for naked ambition and greed. Last, but hardly least, is the physically, emotionally, and mentally flabby "podcaster" who becomes the "journalist" ‘s punching bag and a simp of the first water. On the plus side, this stinker manages to check off every single box on the Movie Tropes, Clichés, and Stereotypes List, and I do mean every one. By the end of Episode 7, I felt like I had just watched the winner of the 2026 Razzies! See more Jim H @JimHawkins Jan 6 Masterpiece in every aspect. !!!!! Original, perfect cast, great writing.
