A very real and very true depiction of the crime families of inner city Dublin, families with the same three letters starting the name, KIN. The grand poetry of the word meaning family, a la cosa nostra of Sicily and other mafioso using omertà as the key to success, while selling drugs, brandishing guns, and turning on each other, KIN or no KiN.
Excellent story and character driven to the point they really do seem real. The Dublin accent works really well. The Bren character is maybe the worst human I've ever came across, making it compelling and keeps you intrigued; even to see his demise (or not)
This is the best thing the BBC has made in a while. Scorsese would be proud. Even the use of music is perfect, meaningful.
It has everything sadness, betrayal, love... and the story told like a true Irish Bard.
