This is a well-crafted tale of family, loyalty, crime and vengeance set in present day Dublin.

Clare Dunne, Aiden Gillen and Ciarán Hinds are - as always - excellent.

This series has kept me gripped. Interesting characters and enough action to keep you tuning in. I do have an issue with one story line. Michael and his daughter Anna. She has to be the most inept and wooden actress I have ever watched. Her expression and tone of voice never change! No matter what is happening on screen. She has all the charisma of a deck chair. Not only is this story line superfluous but every time Hannah Adeogun, who plays Anna, makes an appearance I'm tempted to just fast forward the episode. If there is a series 3 I hope she is written out. She spoils what is a very good show.

I won't give it away. Watch the entire series even though you get impatient or bored. The ending is worth it. I wonder if there will be another season.

Good job writers.

...because this is an excellent series, with great performances, realistic action and a good plot. None of your Hollywwood ten minute fight scenes; the violence is short, sharp and decisive. The first season held my attention throughout and I looked forward to very episode, even though I could see the ending coming a mile off. (You could could look at it as the copying of a great ending to a great movie or just a nod to that movie. I wasn't sure about season two, but warned to it after the first couple of episodes. I'm not fond of endings that leave parts of the story hanging for next season, but in this case I'll forgive them because it was, otherwise, the perfect finale to the main plot line.

It's intense, gritty, stylish, and cleverly written. There's a whole crew of fresh faces, and a few very welcome familiar ones. Expertly done!!
