Kin

I personally thought the second season was better than the first. The character of Bren brought this series to life and made it much more gritty. I wasn't keen on the relationship with Michael and his estranged daughter in either season. The acting and dialogue just wasn't working and was slow and repetitive. Ciaran Hinds in the first season was also good and the camera screen just loves his presence. Obviously can't go into details with the storylines because it will spoil this but I thought the character of Eric also did a great Job in both seasons. Overall I preferred the second season of this series.

...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.

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.

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.

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!!
