Kin - RTE & AMC

Agree with you.

So many seemingly pointless asides and unfinished story lines / plot holes

- how is Jimmy not more peed off that his wife was with his brother?

- why has Birdie no role as such?

- would a social worker, solicitor or pharmacist really curse at customers in real life?

- why so many shots of Aviva and convention centre?

- how is Jimmy able to smell burning flesh by ironing someone's face but not able to shoot someone without freaking out?

- why have the Kinsellas no staff at all?

- what relevance was Frank being on Grindr/ being gay?

- what relevance was Michael shooting Anna's mother?

-what you said: what relevance was Eamons wife being sick, him attending an ayahuasca ceremony and having an approx 8 year old son- where did that kid come from? What was in the velvet box?

What was the significance of the woman in the pool?

- how did Michael appear in Spain, get a gun, know where he was meant to go, shoot in a massively public area with no mask, able to travel freely etc etc

- why was it not safe to go to Amsterdam or the pharmacy but OK to go to school, cafe?

- what made Frank overdose? He was a soft touch all along so why give a shite about that now?

- Jimmy and Amanda were all loved up at the start (sex scene), by thr end they were barely talking. Also someone else here referenced Jimmy telling her what her place was and suddenly he's OK with doing her bidding?

- why would Eamon give anyone "chances " and not annihilate them all to get his 50m drugs back? Esp when he was being charged for the privilege by his Big Boss

- why would Con not burn Anthony (why isn't he Anto?) anyway for what they did to his kid dousing him in petrol?

- how was it thwt easy to steal the drugs and store them? What was the point in stealing them in the first place- they weren't selling them, they just used them as a "hostage " in the end. Pointless

- why did Eric ask Nikki to get thr "witness" killed. Surely there was up to 40 people at the party who would be more than happy to testify against the "no staff" Kinsellas? Plus it was the 4 traffic cameras that got him.in the first place- they can't kill those.

- what will they/ havr they been doing for money if they're not selling and not laundering? If neither Kinsellas nor Eamon have drugs to sell, wouldn't there be someone else willing to supply the customers in that vacuum?

- did they give Eamons "Jimmy piss money" back to him or was he cool with just gifting it as an oops for killing Jamie?

- why are Jimmy, Michael and Frank so close in age. If Bren had the 2 lads at 20 and they are 40 ish now (have to be as Jamie was 17) that would make Bren and Frank nearer 60 if not older

There are loads more I can't think of now as well as loads of incredulous stuff such as the cafe shooting, the middle of the road meet ups with no consequences etc.

That aside it was something to do on a Sunday evening when I always get a bad case of the Glenroes so....

Edit: Season 2- if it happens. What in the name of Jaysys makes the "no staff" Kinsellas think they can take on the "Big Boss" when they barely survived Eamonn and even Eamonn wasn't willing to piss off the Big Boss.

I completely get there was so many glaring plot holes in this but can people just relax? There is going to be more series of this, its OK to have plot arcs work through series rather than have everything wrapped up in one.

puking up your insides beside the fire will be all the DNA the guards need I'd say. Not that that will be followed up on.

Jimmy was burning the clothes he wore during the shooting. Quite common and already been shown earlier on in season.

Just looking at the banner on RTE news Now, RTE, seem terribly excited saying our screens were rocked after the Finale & fans wanting More 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Rocked my Hole

True, noticed that but you'd think if this show was as successful as we are led to believe, they'd be flogging paid advertising at massive rates rather than self promotion, just my own humble opinion 😉

I thought it was grand, if you don't take it too seriously. The first episode was terrible, really bad diaglog and Dublinisms.

The drugs heist was ridiculous. Eric going off to shoot the other gang in is own car was beyond stupid. The fake diversity/box ticking was rolleyes.

It was mentioned that they kept on showing shots or Lansdowne Road. I think that is because Dublin is generally a very unremarkable City in terms of having good shots, especially at night time. The most iconic structures are 2 defunct chimneys 😂

I'll watch the 2nd series, I'll take it with a pinch of salt. Although I might get turned off by the way RTE are trying to proclaim it as the greatest TV series in history.

I thought maybe Amanda did it

Underrated by whom?

With these scriptwriters anything is possible. I definitely think he's covering for someone.

What would Amanda's motive be, jealousy maybe? However I thought money laundering was her role and only took a violent direction after Jamie was killed.

If Amanda did it I would have thought Birdy or Jimmy or even Mickey would have made reference, but I seriously don't know.

Brilliant 🤣
