What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite twice the Gleeson power, Frank of Ireland's initial incendiary chaos quickly burns itself out in a way that some viewers may find more irksome than entertaining.

It feels as if they are throwing every single joke at the wall, hoping that some of them stick. The more I was watching the show the more I got frustrated. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au 06/05/2021
Frank of Ireland will give you some laughs, but that doesn't mean it's fresh, engaging and great TV for a time when other series are doing all that and more. It's merely an echo. Go to Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 05/12/2021
Ireland's ridiculously talented Gleeson family have a field day in this boisterous and distinctly Irish cringe comedy. Go to Full Review Zehra Phelan 2 Minute Telly 06/02/2021
2/5
A mess of misjudged and quite frankly un-intelligent gaffs, they really could have done a hell of a lot better in delivering something hilariously original. Go to Full Review Kaleena Rivera Pajiba 04/26/2021
At the end of the day, Frank of Ireland never manages to elevate itself above what feels much like a familial inside joke. Go to Full Review Kevin Carr Fat Guys at the Movies 04/24/2021
3/4

Alex W @RT84273026 11/14/2022 This is bonkers. It feels like its trying to be too clever but it doesn't need to as its genuinely funny. I feel like it has the potential to be a worthy follow up to father Ted. The cast are excellent and this definitely needs a 2nd season. It just needs to slow down and take a breath. See more 07/14/2022 This is one of the funniest original pure joys to watch! And it goes by way too fast. I wish there had been more than six episodes for the first season. Shamus willing there will be a second season. I really don't understand the thinking of the rest of the people who viewed this giving it such bad reviews. Do you people not like to have joy in your life or are you just disappointed that this wasn't a superhero movie? See more 05/24/2022 Comedy genius. The Gleeson Brothers nailed it. I laughed so hard it made me cry. The entire cast and crew brought their A game. I hope to see much more. Do yourself a favor, and do not miss this. Perfection. See more 01/31/2022 This show is silly and sophomoric on purpose and makes no bones about it. It is laugh out loud funny. See more 09/28/2021 Even better than Bridget and Eamon. I think it is as good as Father Ted. Heresy, I know. If you like Irish comedy you will love it. If you don't, then you probably won't get it. Personally, I have watched the whole series many times. I need fresh Frank! See more 08/31/2021 I absolutely love Frank of Ireland, and as we all know, if the self proclaimed professional critics hate it, then it must be good. I've watched all 6 episodes probably a dozen times, and each time I laugh at something I didn't catch the last time. Yhe Gleeson bros are a comedic delight, and Sarah Greene is a perfect fit that balances out the slapstick goofiness. If you hate laughing and take yourself way too seriously, then don't watch this show. I'm counting on season 2! (Looking at you channel 4 and Amazon Video) See more Read all reviews
