Great series, near the end of S2

These Irish lads love their cars (I guess like any gangsters), especially German ones

CLS saloon
3 series G20 (looked like M340 debadged) - Viking
3 series E90 (Michael learns to powerslide)
Mercedes S class
Range Rover - Eamonn's goons
Mercedes GLS - Eamonn

In one of the early episodes Jimmy went to get a new car and was not happy with being offered Mercedes as being an "old man's car" smile

I agree with what has already been said. A great 2-part series that has you on the edge of your seat most nights.

The very clever bit is that every character is evil, but non-the-less you end up hoping evil gets one over on the more evil. Towards the end you have a vision of a queue waiting to clip Bren.

Looks ready for a series-3, so surprised to read here that there wont be one.

The only thing I didn't really understand the point of was...


Molly who worked in the pharmacist. It was almost like they changed their mind on the storyline.

There was some chemistry with her and Michael. He ended up asking her out. They pumped, he clearly liked her.

He went back and her colleague said "Molly is off on her honeymoon".

He's like "wtaf man..."

Then that's it. Was it this thing that drove Michael back towards Amanda? It just seemed a bit convulated as it was always going to go that way. I was expecting Molly to get her head blown off or something.

We have just finished watching this gem of a show , Really enjoyed it & so disappointed we have no more to watch.

Great storey & great acting , if you have nothing new to watch & you don't mind a bit of violence & bad language then this is highly recommended

I am half way through season , so far I think

it's a bit predictable but an ok watch. Some of the main characters are pretty stereotypical. Eric / Viking, absolute dhead and a waste of oxygen. Every drug family seems to have one of him. Frank, absolute wet lettuce. Jimmy, seems to be going the wrong way, he started off ok. Michael, typical straight out of jail, wants to go straight, but never will. One of the few who has a brain. Amanda, holding it all together and moving forward, but surrounded by idiots. Birdy, a pretty pointless character. Bren, only got invented at about the sixth episode of season 1, never heard of him until then. The daughter of the man who is on his death bed. Stereotypical family member trying to keep things going but lacking the respect her father built up (as much as there is lol) I hope she gets killed.

I have now seen them all.

I think it was a decent ending, and leaves it open for a third season
