    Bring out the Irish Spring Soap!

    I can't take Gillen seriously at all, with his endless 100-yard stares and empty monologues. The dialogue is odd between characters, not natural at all.

    I keep expecting him to walk in wearing a skirt and carrying a sword.

    Can't separate him from his Game of Thrones character at all :D

    I knew that girl was playing Geraldine Kennedy just because of her clothes - has her look nailed in fairness.
    PDs were set up in 1985 but the Des being referred to would not be O'Malley I'd say.

    I agree. It was cringey the way his mother was going on about the arms running, explaining what it was, for the viewer.
    But I think Gillen is doing a great job, not so much others though.

    Des Traynor. His accountant.

    That Timotei scene was hilarious.

    I'd completely forgotten about Timotei, so much nostalgia!

    Also the constant music makes it feel like The 80's Irish Bourne Ultimatum.

    He was reared in Donnycarney and his mother continued to live there till the end of her life. He moved to Raheny and then Kinsealy.

    Yeah I'm going back to the poor casting again , it's really getting to me now. Too many have been in too high profile roles (love/hate) too recently for them to be taken seriously in the parts they are in , sure even Paddy got a walk on in his lovely army jumper.

    TVL looked a great actor in LH, and he looks awful in this.

    What a wasted opportunity this is. It's like a never-ending series of sketches from a comedy show, minus the laughs. It just feels so rushed, as if they're trying to cram so much into as short a space of time as possible. If this had been better written and the assumption made that the audience weren't very well up in the politics of the day, this could've been Ireland's House of Cards.

    I assume it is Des Treanor, the accountant for Haughey?

    Plot hole - Gaffe.

    News of the Stardust broke overnight on the radio.

    Haughey would have been woken up with it or told before he went to bed.

    It would have been old news by the time RTÉ television covered it as they didn't go on air till late morning back then.
