Is it just me or does it feel very short? Maybe its because Im used to watching Corrie, which is a double episode on Mondays and Fridays, but the Wednesday and Thursday episodes seem quite short. Everytime it ends, Im like, is it over already?!?

Agree, too short. But that does mean that I'm enjoying it if I feel that.

Poor ol' McGonigal is under attack on all fronts!

Is Sarge pregnant? She's a good liar, I'll give her that

I wouldn't have even thought of that if Adrijan hadn't suggested it!

I like him :eek:
Seriously, great character and came across as really menacing. I was totally drawn into it.

This drama is getting better as time goes on, it's quality stuff. And loved the on location scenes again like in the pub out near the canal. Brought a sense of realism to the whole thing.

Really enjoyed tonight episode, such a shame there's nothing until weds next week. Gave up on FC tonight. Went to watch it on demand after RR. After 10 minutes I just couldn't be arsed. I've given up.There is simply no comparison.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

McGonigle is a brilliant Villain. Hadn't really considered when the show started that the biggest villain would be a member of the Gardaí - makes the story all the more interesting.

Don't want anything bad to happen to Sharon though!

That pub is at the bridge at Dolphins Barn Yes, the on location stuff is very impressive....you'd never see anything like that on Fair City.

He has a bit of a nasty streak, and we're starting to see that he can be ruthless with anyone who crosses him. I've a feeling he might have frightened Sharon off with his threats.

The garda with the foreign accent really needs to immerse himself in somewhere rural in Ireland for a month. Its absolutely terrible. The night he said "I hope that's not hot water" I had to pause it because I was laughing so much.

The rest of the actors are good, except the son of the bangharda who's husband is cheating on her is a little over-acting as well.


Now, Im just waiting for Wednesdays episode and I might learn the names of more characters, because all I know now are Katie Kiely and Michael Hennessey.

I'm still really enjoying this but I never get to see it 'live' I tend to record it and watch it at the weekend. Its still very enjoyable.

I have officially given up on this......Fairly weak.

What's your point here? Both the actor and the character he plays are Eastern European - do you think he's supposed to be Irish in the show or something?

Eastern European and being able to talk are too different things!
My gripe is not with him being non irish, my gripe is with his horrible pronunciation.

I think his English is very good.

If you don't like how he pronounces certain words... there's a mute button on your remote.

I disagree. I can never ever understand what he says. What's the point of him in the show if you can't even hear him properly?

Well, it seems everyone else here can understand what he says...

Have you ever seen Eldorado? There were actors in it who didn't speak English at all - and the things they did say weren't subtitled...

I know several people who cannot understand most of what he says.

Never seen Eldorado, and if I couldnt understand what actors said in it I wouldnt watch it.

Can't tell if you're being serious... And whether you intend it to or not, you're coming across as quite xenophobic on the matter.

Personally I haven't noticed any problems with how he speaks and can understand him just fine. I really like his character so far and thinks he adds a bit of diversity to the show.

Saw on the cover of one of those TV guides, a heading with "McGonigals revenge" and there was a picture of Sharon looking like she'd been beaten up. Watch your back Sharon.

Yes, it's comedy gold, plus the thread is ten times more fun than this nonsense.

There is a difference between dark and dull but that's just my opinion.

On the original ad for Red Rock, it showed Sharon being locked in a Jail cell. Does this mean something?

That's exactly what I've been thinking the last while. Not sure she was so much locked in, but went in and closed the door on herself. Has to be something to do with the McGonigal storyline.
