Smother

I binge watched this series as I found it to be compelling viewing. This has to be the most crazy, mixed up, co-dependant family I have ever seen. Just when you thought there could not possibly be more secrets and lies more appear. There are no endearing traits about any of these people, they manage to create drama after drama, lie through their teeth, and undermine each other. They seem to thrive on their way of life. Of course there are always the tables groaning with food and the huge glasses of wine, most of them are never in a scene without a glass of wine. Having said all that it was very watchable.

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.

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

I genuinely think this is a beautiful series. Crime and family drama interwoven. Some people saying that this is so boring and slow-paced is such a sign of the times. Everything has to be fast, full of action and solved within a 30-minute episode. This isn't that. This takes time to percolate, to show different sides, to reveal memories, to cleverly create many suspects, to show beautiful scenery in all kinds of weather, to build characters. Very, very atmospheric, well-acted and beautiful.

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