That's what I'm told. Is it overhyped because it's Irish?
Perhaps we're spoiled with the big American productions.

They all die in the end.

I thought seasons 3 and 4 were best. The first 2 meandered a bit.

Season refers to the number of episodes made in that particular production block/year. Series is the entire show as a whole. It's just a way of differentiating, but please, feel free to stay angry over something so insignificant

Jamiekelly

When you're watching the last ep of season 4 just count how many times he gets in and out of his car. It's classic time wasting by a production team that had no earthly fecking idea where they wanted to go for an ending.

Season 4 was the biggest pile of **** I've seen in a long time. Cops vs Robbers with the constant air of an unreal twist on the horizon. Only for it to be one of the most bland and stupid endings on Irish tv.

Considering it costs on average 600k an episode I think it might be time to pull the plug on something that could have been so much more..

mickydoomsux

I too don't like the popular thing. Now we are both the coolest people ever.

I actually found it to be pretty good.

Ah the "you're angry card"

Nope. It annoys me yes, maybe file under the trivial thread elsewhere.

It's always been series here, season is an affectation.

JoseJones

I just watched the first 3 seasons and I think it's very good. Season 3 is probably the best, followed by season 2. The only thing that ruined it for me is how badly cast Darren is, I think he's a good character but completely the wrong type of actor playing him. Nidge is an excellent character and very well acted.

dirtyden

I thought it was quite good.

Some of the acting and storylines are patchy, but some also is excellent.

It can hold its own with much of what's on tv. Obviously the production values and acting on some of the big budget American tv shows will look better in comparison but their budgets will dwarf Love/Hate.

sabat

By the end of the last season it had totally run out of ideas and was reduced to padding out each episode with montages of traffic and sequences of people getting in and out of cars and what little plot there was wasn't fully logical, but one or two episodes from the previous two seasons were simply world class television. In particular, the night out with the IRA guy that went badly wrong was one of the best hours of television I've seen-in terms of tension and pacing it was up there with the best of Breaking Bad or The Wire.

sblythe

I watched Love/Hate because it was the only decent thing on at the time and my girlfriend insisted upon it. I spent the whole episode trying to figure out where in Dublin they were filming, but in time it grew on me, and I started paying more close attention to the plot, trying to guess who was going to kill who first, and now I can't wait for the new series.

hey

love-hate is a reakky good show


everybody should waqtch it at least once or twice

better call saul

I was very skeptical when I heard all the hype but it is actually very good in fairness to them

Better than watching the following knobends

Kathryn thomas
Fade Street
Tallafornia
Off the rails
Nationwide
Jersey shore
The fatally unfunny Katherine lynch
The equally unfunny mcsavage
Crystal swing
Best in the big Blue house
Any gombeen on 2fm

I suggest you take it up with your T.D. so if you're so upset by it.

Also, my favorite season is the second one I thought the fourth season suffers from

the death of Darren, the marginalisation of Tommy and being the main character doesn't suit Nidge

Dry shíte.

Ferris_Bueller

I loved it. Very harsh to say it's not a good show IMO, maybe over rated but I don't think it's fair to say it's a poor show. I'd actually say it was the most enjoyable TV series I've ever watched despite the 4th season being a bit underwhelming, but different strokes for different folks and all that.

I will fight you.

Kathryn is great on the telly because i want ride the hole off her.

upandcumming

I really like it.

For most season three is where its at and it's the same for me, but I also loved season 2 simply for Aiden Gillen. He was superb! The other characters really came into it then too.

And then they undid all the good work by making season 4!

.jacksparrow.

Would it be as famous in Ireland if it was set in England or America and was based on situations there?

Is it really that good or is it just we can relate to it.

Caliden

The only people freakin about it are those who have never seen the Wire.

Don't get me wrong, it's great that it's Irish based and is successful but it could've been so so much more.

It gets much better. I wouldn't judge the whole show on the first series alone.

The introduction of Fran took it up several notches.

Moat_Cailin

Haven't seen it. Looks pretty bad from the ads.

lertsnim

They should have stopped at season 3. Season 4 was ****.
