Love/Hate (2 Viewers)

seems odd for a show presented as 'gritty' or 'real' or whatever. no reason to suspect they won't do a deus ex machina at the end.

i've never been great at suspension of disbelief anyway, but i'm driven to distraction with all the 'sorry lads' moments.

It's just not very well written. It needs a script doctor, someone to school them in basic story telling again. The rave/drugged/pass out scene took up plenty of screen time and advanced the story close to zero. All that could have been told in 10 seconds. I am no screen writer but it seems obvious there is loads of chaff that could be removed. That's a bit of a separate point to the "sorry lads" one but they're related. Whole thing could be top notch with just a bit more thought and tweaking.

And some scenes seem to be shot JUST to service the trailer ads. The motorcycle jacking scene in previous episode was closs to pointless but was used in the ad. etc. etc.

Latest episode was dead good, Fran is a legend

Surprised the Fran and Nidge buddy buddy thing fell through so quickly something has to give between the nephew and the informer I think.

Trying not to read this but I haven't seen season 5 yet. RTE only has episode three left on there, as far as I could tell. Anywhere else to watch it?

Hmmm

I have them at home on the laptop

They're big files though

My internet is crap where I am. I'lll just wait until they show up on youtube like all the rest.

ok

There's a website called wetransfer.com, it allows for easy transfer of large files. 7 could upload the files, send them to your e-mail, then you could download them from the wetransfer site. Uploading is the most time-consuming part. Might be an easy way to get them for you.

Isn't pretty much every show guilty of this though? They have lots and lots of 'art' shots of Dublin that are clearly just filler. But they're done so well I don't think they detract from things at all.

we're getting near the end though. Not sure how many episodes there'll be in season 5, but season 6 will be the last. So we can expect a lot of the threads to start winding down over the next while I reckon.

I thought they were ending it with season 5 actually?

I'm going home to roast a chicken and watch me some Love/Hate

If not, they should really reconsider.

The chicken happened. Love/Hate did not.

Those filler shots can be good sure

Well they need to be paced, so those filler seems can help you digest the story but too many scenes in this show are ill thought out or superfluous and considering they have a short enough time to tell the story, way shorter seasons than US or many British productions I wish they'd be a bit cleverer with the screen time they have.

Don't know what happened with that post above!

 

[nooleen]

i wish someone would get on with killing nidge; i was really hoping fran would manage it there

best scenario would be siobhan snaps and beats him to death with a shoe
