    15 minutes in and I'm already thinking that perhaps jumping off a wind turbine might be a better option.

    Tara called. She agrees wholeheartedly with your proposed course of action. She asked if she could man the 'on' button on the grinder?

    Well I for one hope that Kate and those nasty Norwegians dont get their way with their evil plan. Carrigeen is a local town for local people.

    I'd say tomorrow it will be all over RTE radio and TV as the next big thing.

    Is Orla Brady really 59?

    Pity liveline will be taken over with the leaving cert results or they would defiantly have a caller on with some made up issue to generate some publicity

    that'll only happen after an evening of the two of em looking at consent forms for holding hands and for how long before being ok to kiss #safe women surfers #a load of crap, hate obvious virtue signalling in scripts gets my roll eyes going
    Just watched this was reminded of Promised Land with Matt Damon except this is really awful. Is that the pub in Avoca that Bergin is in?

    The article about the show on the RTÉ website and app says it was filmed in Wicklow Town, Cork and Oslo in Norway.

    You have to admit, it was a bit 1970s, like something from The Sweeney, with the sneering lads looking at the girls, making 40 foot bargepole jokes, as if the girls were queuing up for a go?

    I wouldn't say I'm a loyal fan. I loved her stuff in Irish Pictorial Weekly, but that's a while back now. Her role in this was a bit cringe, but that's down to the cringe script.

    But let's be honest, your issue is that the lady had an opinion and voiced an opinion and even worse, she ended up on the winning team for the Repeal thing. That's your big problem, but you take a swipe at her looks rather than just disagreeing with her.

    Very stage Oirishy especially the publican's son/radio presenter. The bucklepping in the bar was like something out of the Quiet Man.

    Also the scene in the Planning Office. Even is she has been on Mars for the last 25 years, a quick Google search would have told Kate how to get a look a planning file.

    Depressing if this is what D4 media types take away from their jaunts to West Cork, Lehinch, Roundstone etc during their summer vacations. Can't imagine what Norway will make of it.

    Norway won't know any better so will assume that west Cork looks and sounds like that.

    Taras career highlight was the Rimini Riddle.

    The scene in the bar when the lads had the handbags at dawn moment was to put it frankly embarrassing. As a licence payer im not expecting Brando or Daniel Day Lewis standard of acting at every turn but surely they can do better than this?

    I thought it was okay but not brilliant. I liked the plot and the scenery more than the acting. The reveal about the son's Dad was a bit unsurprising alright! I still want to see what happens next, plot-wise. So I probably will tune in next week.

    I know it's the nature of acting and they have to follow the work but is bringing the likes of Patrick Bergin and a few more back from the UK and beyond to star in a dodgy "comic drama" when RTÉ is constantly banging the poor mouth drum really a wise way to spend money?
    They describe it as "star studded", how many people are actually tuning in to see the likes of Bergin who was always a pretty poor actor or Orla Brady who is the same in everything I see her in?
