Interesting.

is it any good

Watched the three episodes back to back this eve.
Very very well done & very intriguing to watch.
May appeal more to males than females.
The Nicole/nicola girl sums up everything that is wrong with the world though in a Inwant to be Kim Kardashian type way.
I like the older woman, can't rememebr her name & her husband.
Your one Ashling, Jesus she had me nearly crying. Poor girl needs psychiatric help.
Kate the stripper is like what Carrie in the Sex and the city would look like/possibly be should she have gone down a different route in life. Image of Sarah Jessica Parker. They grew up in same place apparantly which is gas.
The rapper one.... Hmmmmm haven't made up my mind about her yet.

Really enjoying it .... Tbh I think the grittiness of alannah makes it the poor thing ye just wanna hug her.

All in all I think it hits at how average people struggle and try deal with an array of things. I have enjoyed. Which to be frank I didn't think I would

I missed last night. How did Kate go from stripper to prostitute?

Venetia, her husband is Martin. She's a radio producer, he was a nightclub promoter/events manager until the ass fell out of his market 6 or so years ago. He's trying to get a new business together (which he opened recently, in Ringsend)

She is soooooo Carrie in a different world

I don't know.

I want to know this as well.

amdublin

Go home girl! You won't get "that certain level" at 2am

amdublin

This girl annoys me. Just from seeing the ads.

I think she comes across fake and phoney.

BabysCoffee

Stop spending money on tattoos and you might have a bit of money?

amdublin

Carrie off to see an old client

amdublin

I just love this Carrie/Kate girl

I like this program.

This is a good RTE program

:eek:
Did I just say that?!

Cork

Can't stand the cursing

dublin

amdublin

I don't think she needs to curse during her act. To my mind it sounds unnatural.

amdublin

Her voice goes through my head.

amdublin

I LOVE THIS ONE!

xzanti

I really hope she got more than a bag of scones and a chocolate bunny for her services!

BabysCoffee

Hmm kate is quite unusual, I think

This is a great programme!

SMJSF

I'm loving it, but the rapper from finglas and the American pole dancer (kate?) stories have lost my interest. (fast forward them).... I'm loving alannahs story (father died- suicide) and the girl (nicole) who goes nuts over the silliest things at her (ex) 30yo boyfriend.... I'm glued!!! I hope the show goes on for a good few weeks

I hear Brendan O'Connor will have some of the cast on his show tonight

Oh dear god. Kate came across as an attention grabbing nutter on Sat night show. I cringed for every second of her awful 'performance'.
Venetia came across ok, but you would think, as a radio producer that she would know that every time she hit her chest with her hand it would reverberate on her mic.
Nicole.... Well she just vindicated her clips that have been shown already.. An absolute knob. And she's still with that tossed Noel.

Omackeral

I've see one full episode of this and one half episode. I couldn't stand that Nicole one. The so-called model. She's as vacuous as they come and I know a million of her. Her whole life revolves around her bloke. Myself and my gf counted the amount of times she said 'Noel' and got really annoyed. I'd say she dropped all her mates when she got a fella. All she hangs out with is her ma. Pure and utter dope.

I like the rapper girl MissElayneous (I actually forget her real name!). She's cool and doesn't give a rats. Seems really deep and is just herself despite it not being a conventional way for an Irish girl to be.

The American's voice just goes through my head. Don't care that she's a stripper/escort, just that voice!!

The radio working Mam seems nice and hard working. The husband seems like a grump though.

That's all I recall!

alleystar

I think Connected is alright.

The Dublin rapper is irritating though, everything about her is completely contrived. And I'm sorry but how could you be homeless for 7/8 years and afford/accumulate that much stuff? How can she afford a car when she's on the dole? Especially in Dublin? Her attitude is tiring, I think she's a try hard and her story doesn't really add up.

I didn't think I'd like Kate McGrew at all but there's something about her that's quite endearing. Venetia Quick seems quite genuine too.

Hello, are you in my brain robbing my thoughts :eek:

You've summed up my opinions of it exactly.

Lads... Kate is so cringe :eek:

Oh I trying to like this show, but its getting more contrived... Venetia I like, her husband is a twat. He holds himself in a higher esteem than he deserves.
That younger girl and her bf Noel... She is a typical portrait of an Irish girl in late teens/early 20s.. Valuing her appearance and how people perceive her as an indication of life success.

kilkenny12

Oh how boring that was.
Your wans husband is a w@nker.. I thought it was supposed to be about her not him.
Anna is not interesting at all at all.
And Nicole.. what can ya say. She needs to grow up.

CountyHurler

Only watched five minutes of this show and f**k me... Turns out I was right all along... All women are f**king CRAZY...

Yep lost interest in the "rapper" and pole dancer. I feel really sorry for Alannah, thats shocking whats happened to her in her life(and shes only 20). Her boyfriend seems like a solid guy though, he was trying to get her to go to counselling. He was right, she needs support by a professional. I like her parts of the show and all but Im not sure its the healthiest thing for her to be recording her day to day life for TV consumption.
