Big C

A ma an da

I believe they used the same editor from the movie Armageddon. Any moment now we'll see three helicopters flying overhead.

Mars Bar

This is not how we talk in Galway.

Mr.Nice Guy

Emma looks like she's had a bit too much Coke.

wnolan1992

"I'll see to her mate."

Bet you will...

tommy2bad

WTF ' I'ma lezzer so come home'

1966

This is too much for any medical student..... Dad she never knew murdered, mam comes out as a lesbian, she meets big uncle johnny& takes up drinking all a matter of days

Mr.Nice Guy

Emma, you're drunk. As your boyfriend I'm going to leave you here alone with this sleazy cad to teach you a lesson. It's for your own good.

WealthyB

Haha the bloke wearing his jacket around his elbows like that and it's not 1986

Atlantic Dawn

Colour co-ordinated grey jackets for dealing, perfect.

A ma an da

Wasn't her boyfriend. Just a friend. Literally.

soap1978

Mr.Nice Guy

What. The. Flip. Is. Going. On.

Neeson

Is that boy going on a school shoot out?

Gripping stuff my arse!

Kerrydude1981

Nice Willie O Dea inspired shot there at the end

Jacks Smirking Revenge

Well, that was shit

tommy2bad

Mother of God!!!
Next week we need to talk about Sean or whatever his name is.
Could not get better/worse, I'm not sure.

Skid

What did Len do with the Beans? Was there some significance to that conversation or did they need to fill in some time, and couldn't justify anymore lingering Arse shots?

That's what makes it so good. No one actually knows.

Neeson

Why did the man want to shoot the girl who slept with the womaniser?

WealthyB

whoever sold this script to tv3 should be in charge of our next round of negotiations with the Troika

JonathanAnon

I'd say if you watched Fair City after this it would seem like The Wire...

If only they had added a laughter track we would now be praising a brilliant new satirical comedy.

wnolan1992

Personally, I think this week's episode was much, much better.

I think the first episode suffered from trying to introduced too man characters too soon (possibly down to the fact that it's a 6 parter and they had a clear idea of what they wanted to do and had to rush the exposition?), so it was nigh on impossible to get a good grasp of the story. Couple that with some truly awful acting in spots and bad scripts in other places and it a very poor first episode.

I felt this week was far better structured. Less jumping around from scene to scene and character to character. There were a few dodgy places (such as the scene with Jack and Catriona and the car... what the hell was that about?) and the acting is still poor. But overall I thought it was enjoyable and I genuinely am interested in the story.

Will definitely be tuning in next week.

eh i dunno

doubt I can watch any more after that tonight. Shocking stuff

Haha, what an absolute ****show. Some observations:
- Emma looks at picture of her dead father, but all we can see is the back of his head. 'I think I've got his eyes.'
- Has an interview for medical school which is apparently all her mother wants for her. When she gets back in the car, her mother doesn't even ask her how she got on.
- Putting on her make up in an empty shop, wearing the same clothes as the day before, but then asking her mum does she like her new shoes, friend tells her to mention her dead father in her interview... I could go on.
At least it's a bit more obvious who the characters are now.

I think this is an excellent idea.

Goolay

Just caught the first episode there, Christ it's bad. Like an unintentional cross between Soupy Norman and Garth Marengi

newballsplease

Another mess of a show but not as bad as last week.
Few things....
1: why was the uncle so concerned that sonebody left a lawnmower running, that he had to tell 2 strangers?!
2: beangate
3: is the woman really s lesbian or is that her story for the garda?
4: why didnt (emma) she show her mother her new shoes the first time? And wasnt she supposed to meet her somewhere for lunch? Coz the mother was surprised to see her in the house?
5: what party was emma on about when she was drunk? Absolutly no reference to obe before that.
8. im not making sense either- thats what this show does to me!!!

AppleBottle

So it's fairly cringe alright. The acting isn't brilliant and the script has some plot holes alright. But yet, I still want to watch more... :eek:

Who killed Emma's father seems to be it,don't see much else of anything except some teenage angst which will become extremely annoying,the young fella with the gun appears to be a blatant rip off of American Beauty.

ratracer

Why does it have to be an american who's a bit nuts and obsessed with guns?? The preview hints that he's going to have a gun in school next week...oh dear god, why do I want to watch this train wreck again next week.

The hot blonde: Is she a student, the same age as Emma and 'my bodys a temple' Ginger Nut, and if so why was she talking to Emmas mother while on her break at the hospital, where Emma's mother thanked her for all her help getting Emma into Med School??

Is bishop brennans Alzheimers gonna be a significant part of the plot?

Roll on next monday night, same bat time...same bat channel..

knucklehead6

I just love how emma turned from shy school girl to grieving daughter to med school student to little minxish trouble causing drink stealing vamp in the space of what was probably what? 3 or 4 days??

I think she's winding up her mother by saying she's not going to med school,she was thrilled when she got the letter.

I think you might be giving the writers too much credit!¬!

If I ever see that Taxi in Galway I'm not getting into it, the driver clearly has no idea where they're going.

Driving the wrong way down the one way system in UCG, picking up a drug dealer outside Sallys to drop him 50 meters down the road but facing in the wrong direction, random detours to Limerick, consumating drug deals in the Car Park next door to Mill Street Garda station....

Also, that lingering shot of teenagers arse was all a bit Jimmy Saville.
