Smother

Quite an enjoyable watch. A few twists and turns. Nothing really original but decent. Nice setting and good cast. A bit bleak.

Considering that the cast is not exactly star-studded, the acting is reasonably good, and the tale unfolds in a fairly convincing and believable way, at least for the most part.

The slow start may leave a few viewers cold, but it was worth persevering with for the dysfunctional family drama aspect, which pulls no punches.

The murder mystery aspect largely plays second fiddle, but I found the final revelation to be a decent fit and was surprised at how it brought the whole story to a comprehensive and largely unguessable conclusion. - 7.8/10.

I like this series, good story, actors and location - BUT - a couple of the actors talk in whispers, Dervla Kirwan.in particular. Why or why didn't the director encourage Dervla to speak in a normal tone when not shouting? Her voice lacks clarity and it is annoying to keep having to adjust the volume control during conversations involving her.

I wanted to like this show. There is a good cast, beautiful West of Ireland locations, however the story just lets it down so badly.

Every episode seems to be be written in a formulaic manner to point the blame at a different family member. The sub-plots are so numerous and dramatic that it appears as if the writers just threw every possible trope into a blender, thinking "the more, the merrier".

It leads to a rambling show, with too much going on. You find yourself not caring for even one character. They've even ruined my image of "The Irish Lamb Man".

Watch for the scenery. The story is dreadful.

Too many secrets for one show. Not one character to care about. The scenery is the best part of this show.
