Good black comedy.

Can't see Nidge lasting in an upper management position for long though. He now has to kill the dipstick son and bang his missus for good measure.

Well he's up for banging anything with a pulse and she's clearly not too impressed with the buck so may well be in for some "get back" secksy time with an arch enemy. There's sex and then there's dangerous sex.

Of course theres also no sex at all, which is why we are here :pac: ahem.

I hope Nidge makes it through to the end after making it this far.

There was considerably more violence against men depicted in tonight's show.

Anyway, like I said, if people can't handle seeing prostitution and violence portrayed in a drama, then they shouldn't watch it anymore.

No need for RTÉ to give out helpline numbers after a show like this.

i think the show does a great job at showing how utterly grim prostitution is , the RTE announcement is a seperate issue

Such a pity he was killed off because this series was made for Hughie (played by Brian Gleeson) from series 1 imo. Psychocotic and unpredictable, as good as the show is i think he was one of the best characters ever in it. a complete nut job.

no , glad they got rid of him , didnt like the charechter at all

I thought he was going to tell Fran to dig up the body again and kill a bullock at the end. Still, all-day breakfast.

Considerably classier looking bird then his last extra martial Fran's wife from last year i have to say.
He wont get genital warts off her. She'd want to be careful tho

jonsnow · 11-11-2012 11:53pm

credit were credit is due. This is now a very solid series and a completely different animal to the 1st series which had all the pitfalls you,ld expect in an rte show trying to do a gangster genre and it was totally predictable.The first season was just about watchable.The second and this season are riveting.I thought they were going to drag out the tension for a few more episodes with git gradually escalating things between the son and darren. I thought git was gonna be the BIG BAD.Instead hes gone already and in a totally believable way.

I loved the way they portrayed git. Behind his sanctimonious "I live in a regular house and am a patriot " bull**** hes a cokesniffing rapist sociopath.I think that Darren is way nmore convincing as a killer now.Hes not trying to be hard hes just there quietly in the background and is prepared to do the business if needs be. Nidge was the comic relief in the first season and looked like a harmless clown but hes as ruthless as they come "siobhan go inside and have a little cry if you need to but shut up". Fran is just your stereotypical sociopath.Loved the ending.Yeah it was a bad night with serious repercussions but these guys are all ruthless killers and they dont dwell on anything too long- they are hungry and tired and want some brekkie and thats there focus at the end.Just a bad day at the office.

Nidge will probably turn up all innocent at the sons gaff "your old man said he wanted us to move some guns before he hopped in a taxi and headed for an early house" "duh".Great stuff.

comedy gold when nidge tells siobhan to shut up, "this is serious siobhan"

for a moment, i lol'd at her rape!

shooter57 · 11-11-2012 11:55pm

great episode tonight was looking forward to it coming back . Edge of your seat stuff :eek:

I didn't think I had missed any episodes so can somebody tell me how Nidge and Fran got to be friends again ? last I knew Fran was out for Nidge's and his gangs blood over petrol boming Fran's wife ?

Kumejima · 11-11-2012 11:57pm

Missed opportunity of the episode:

Fran arrives in, sees Git on the floor and the murder weapon.

"Dirty head on that Guinness, wha?"
"Yeah, must have been a bad keg" - Nidge.

ViveLaVie · 11-11-2012 11:58pm

I find Darren totally believable, don't understand all the scepticism of his character. The way he fired the barrel at Git's head was brilliant.

Not so much Nidge though who he didnt know was the petrol bomber and Nidge has always kept Fran onside trying to smooth things over with him and distancing himself from John Boy. AFAICR he did patch things up with him and then Fran glassed one of his mates and spent time in prison. Fran now needs Nidge to help him build back up his empire.

I can see the point of his character.

They wanted to show his transformation from being a fairly innocent naive youngster who likes the idea of being a hard man into a fully hardened criminal. Darren has completely been sucked in by gangland and transformed from someone who was conscientious about his actions and kept away from the parties, to someone is now a walking sociopathic time-bomb with absolutely no remorse.

Thanks for clearing that up , yeh I remember now Fran fell out with Johnboy I think that's what it was . Leaves me wanting more I might watch it again

Has the dialogue always been poor?

Watched a few episodes of the first series and watched it tonight and some of the dialogue acting was terrible.

The scene when Siobhan is crying and he keeps telling her shut up, couldn't tell if it was the actual actor or the dialogue, but it just seemed horribly timed. Even the last scene when he says "i'm starving" or something to that effect, the pause and dialogue when he looks at Sheehan just seemed very weird and out of sync.

dats_right · 12-11-2012 12:24am

The episode tonight was quality tv. Fair play to rte, best drama around.

JP Liz V1 · 12-11-2012 12:38am

How did Dazzler lift the keg?

BTW Tommy is still very sexy

A bit like Anakin Skywalker in a way
