Yeah, makes sense!

ah would you pm me a link to a pic or a video or something. i don't have access here in the uk

oh, will see what I can do. Not in work though. I'd get in bother for that.

Really? I quite liked it, despite some pretty nasty scenes. Certainly had me fooled, with the shooting. What do you reckon is going on there at the very end?

well I reckon

Spoiler

the plan is to fake Gillen's death (though it did seem he got shot in the head so I'm not so sure) and for the Robert Sheehan character to defect to Franno's side. Earlier Gillen had been saying to him, 'do this one thing and you don't owe me anything and you work when you want, or not at all'. So it was obviously something pretty big he was gonna ask of him.

I also reckin theres no way they'll kill off Gillen (though theres always the possibility Nidge could take over), and I reckon they still regret killing off Hughie in the first series, by far and away the best character in the show.

I didn't like the episode on sunday cos I thought it was a little all over the place. I got the sense that they were trying to tie up too many loose ends in a hurry (the bit with the garda, etc, which was completely pointless IMO).

Well there's an advert on RTE and it portrays

Nidge taking over, and Gillen being dead. A lot of people have talked about the faked death, but if that's been included it would be the worst plot twist EVER.

 

[Jim Daniels]

Interesting take on what might be happening! Not bad!
I know what you mean about tidying up a few loose ends, but that scene with his girlfriend (?) was hard to watch. As was the one with the cop getting kicked in. Hard to watch - filmed just down the road from me in the War Memorial gardens.

Will there definitely be a 3rd series?

well I reckon

It's not confirmed but since it has been such a popular show I can't see how they wouldn't have one.

not safe for the work lads

bah, that episode was almost pointless. They could have condensed the last 2 episodes into a single episode and nothing would have been missed. They were both way too flabby.

Leave them on a low. They packed all the good stuff into the first few episodes and spent the last couple struggling to fill out the time.

And that beard was really starting to bug the shit out of me. Very amateurish. Disappointing end given the highs of earlier weeks.

 

[Scientician 0.8]

Yeah the last episode was actually pointless. Could have had a scene dealing with Luke in E5 and that would have been a great ending for a series.

 

[Jim Daniels]

Absolutely - should have left last week's episode as the season finale. Now there's nothing to look forward to in season 3.
The direction they're sending the Nidge character in looks really annoying too

 

[rettucs]

This is back in my good books after last night. Good first episode to the new series.

He once stood beside me in the midst of carnage in a gaff on a New Year's Eve/Early morning while getting me to play Neil Young and Nico - These Days on the guitar. Sound chap. Not much of a singing voice.

 

[Scientician 0.8]

That was an awful episode. Fuck RTÉ and fuck the writers for shitifying it again. I'll never fall in love again.

I literally had nightmares after last night's episode. Real proper terrifying ones. Had to get up and have a cup of tea around 1.30am. Totally stressed!

I find myself less able to watch graphic violence and scenes of nervous tension these days, especially just before hittin' the sack.

Despite all this and the sheer unpleasantness of last night's episode, I have to admit, it's very well made.

 

[Scientician 0.8]

I found it unpleasant to watch but also not very entertaining or convincing. 4/10

Gonna check this out. Downloaded Series 1 offa Thepiratebay, as it doesn't seem to be available on RTE Player. I saw one episode a while back by chance while channel hopping, where
