I'd love to know what part of Singapore Calum's accent comes from:rolleyes:

Fine Cheers

SingaD4 maybe.
I'll get my coat.

And don't get me started on the local hoodlums and one of them with a big midland accent on him "I haven't even star'ed"

Alot of biffos spend their holiers in the mobile in Lahinch #justsayin.
Flah as a midland accent.

Denis, he's been dead for an age now and still no funeral

Unless he does a Bobby Ewing and comes out of the shower. It'd make it memorable anyway.

The acting is so variable in this....the kids are awful....the red head mother is dreadful. The main gardai Christ....the guy from Borgen not great either.
Red herrings and plot holes left right and centre.

Dervla Kirwan is really good, Seana Kerslake is normally terrific but I don't know something a bit off about her in this, it could be script etc.

Kinda falling into a hate watch at this stage.

The fire starter mother is a real oddball as well creeping around the place.

Ya, she also carries around a bit of a sandwich in her handbag!

The GAA top is annoying me. First of all, if Callum was local, surely he would be playing with St Breckans or Ennistymon. Ennistymon wear white and I think Breckans wear maroon.

But then when Anna saw the 3 lads and the car, how did she automatically know that they were wearing Callum's hoodie? It was a generic GAA team hoodie. I'm sure all the players have one, across many age groups, so they could have been wearing their own.

I can forgive the accent on him - many teenagers don't have local accents these days and often mimic voices from TV, although it is usually more American.

They live in Singapore... maybe he plays for a GAA club there? That then would make sense in terms of Anna knowing that it was Callum's.

Ah I missed that bit about them living in Signapore, that would explain a good bit so.

But the random attack on the other young lads at the beach is a bit odd. How did other people know who he was? Unless they 'summer at home'.

These should be flying off the shelves this week. The lion is quite nice, the symbol of Singapore.

Fine Cheers

Ah folks ye are really trying to pick holes (as is your right of course)
I actually don't mind Firestarter, reformed alcoholic, nearly killed her entire family with the fire, bound to be a bit unstable particular with the custody issues.
As already stated, the family are based in Singapore (hence the accents ) and Singapore GAA colours are red and white. Of course she knows it's Callum's, sure doesn't she wash it regularly .

Were those lads not in the school yard, and again in the cafe? I thought Callum was in there, when they said something to the girl.

Why did one of the mothers turn up at the house with the Garda? Complete nonsense.

Episode wasn't bad, acting is all over the place but it's somewhat interesting and it's very well shot.

Yep he mentioned it in the car with the stereotypical local scumbags, the bag he was carrying also had Singapore on the side of it in big letters. I don't know why she didn't ask for it back...

She was the mother of one of the kids Callum beat up last episode, the one that called Dervla a blow-in. When she didn't get any soot off Dervla, she made a complaint to the guards.

Yeah but she wouldn't follow the Garda to the house. The Garda would have called on his own.

No way she'd be allowed to accompany a Garda on duty. And also unrealistic that she'd have reported the incident given that her son and others were (probably underage) drinking and maybe using illicit drugs. The mother would have been only too aware of that.

Galwayguy35

Only ever tip over to Lahinch on a warm summers day but watching the waves hitting the shore in that episode I'd say its a cold spot in December.

The Guard in this doesn't seem to follow correct procedures at any time.

Yeah, like interviewing the whole family in one room in front of each other. That's fairly standard procedure

Every time I see the cafe, I think of the time I woke up in the car parked beside it. One summer, Galway on Friday night, Lahinch on Saturday and home late on Sunday eve. Didn't bring as much as a spare pair of socks.

And discussing the case with Callum by the cliffs, even in a pretend-casual way. No smart Garda would do that as any evidence would be inadmissible. He's a very annoying cop also.

Ah jaysus, not another suspect. Me head is done in.
Don't know if they are trying to play the country guard thing ala Killinaskully or not but it is poor stuff. I'm still laughing at yer wan looking over the Guard's shoulder at Dervla's front door. Woeful stuff along with all the other questioning as already stated.

And would you really tread on as many toes as he already has? In a small town and with people of influence there.

Still hoping this ends well, only two episodes to go but not holding out great expectations.

True..but we never saw what he did to him with the hurley..underage drinking would be far less than beating a minor to a pulp....

It's quieter but nice cafes and bars, plenty of people surfing and nice long beach or cliff walks without the crowds. Ennistymon 4km away is also great for Winter nights out.

Only 80 mins away if they ever let us out of the county.

That's true, but had any of them required hospital attention then the Guards would be involved anyway. Therefore he can't really have done much to 4/5 lads.

And they're all minors.

Definitely aimed towards an international audience.

There is no way that in a table of five, an Irish lad would have only white friend.

What on earth was that about? Diction is so bad I haven't a notion at this stage.

Tuned out after 2nd episode. Dreadfully boring.

Yep. Lahinch multicurtural especially in Summer.

dastardly00

So are we any closer to finding out who pushed Denis?

Seems like the main suspect (for viewers) is Frank. Not a notion from a police perspective who they are focusing their investigation on. It could be Callum since he was brought in for questioning... but more than likely it's for beating up the other teenagers.

I thought tonight's episode was better than last week, but it's still a very poor programme. I'm only watching it because the series is nearly finished.

LOL, yep, I'm lovin' it.

If you get your kicks from watching explicit violence or the ones with yer wan (BOD's missus) fair play to you but this is great stuff. Best collection of women characters we've had in years. I could watch 'em all day and, played out with the Wild Atlantic Way a character in itself, makes for compelling viewing.

A pattern emerging. Lean towards a major suspect at the end of each week, make the next episode all about them then effectively clear them.
First Grace, then Karl and Jacob next week. Dennis' brother next week.

I still reckon it's Val and she was the one to send the information on Karl to the Gardai. All about protecting the family and her property innit.

And is the boy from Lamb ever going to find that 100k?

As predicted, Frank gets his turn as a suspect. Almost certainly means it isn't him and then the focus turns to Val or Anna? Or does it end up with a show full of red herrings and the conclusion is suicide?

Why not? Lahinch is very cosmopolitan, though the international residents are mainly white Europeans and Antipodeans.

True there are not alot of born and bred Clare people left in Lahinch and percentage wise even less in the summer
