The South Westerlies

And yet, I found this series charming and a refreshing change from things blowing up and cardboard characters. Nicely paced. Well acted. A most pleasant surprise.

Having seen the trailer we decided to give this a go despite some early negative reviews.

It was a good story, more complex than initially suggested. The characters are well developed and the story flows across the six episodes.

There are a couple of new actors that put in excellent turns.

Overall well worth the time.

Great scenery, fun and probably predictable story and nice looking people. I want something that's fun to watch, especially when the world has its many complications and this is a nice getaway.

So predictable and stereotypical but engaging by a beautiful background of Ireland's beautiful scenery. Light fare for those nights when you just don't feel like figuring out whodunnit.

I'm surprised by the overly harsh criticism in some of these reviews but agree that if you're looking for serious drama then this probably isn't for you. It's obviously intended as a lightweight storyline & set in a picturesque seaside village with some good music & was a welcome distraction during all the seriousness of Covid crisis/lockdown. I agree with another reviewer's comment that it's similar to the 'Seachange' series which was HUGELY popular in Australia. If you're looking for something easy and enjoyable to binge to during lockdown then I'd recommend it..
