The South Westerlies

Hard to believe good actors could sign up for this rubbish. Brady and Bergin must need the Money Script is so predictable and characters real embarrassing stereotypes. Didn't even film it in Cork! Was expecting better. Won't be watching any further episodes.

And yet, I found this series charming and a refreshing change from things blowing up and cardboard characters. Nicely paced. Well acted. A most pleasant surprise.

All round awful plot and dialogue. Soapy direction. Acting sub panto level. Apart from Orla Brady who is much better than this and will probably never do an Irish TV show again. This is RTE's Sunday night offering? Someone on top needs their head examined.

I'm surprised by the overly harsh criticism in some of these reviews but agree that if you're looking for serious drama then this probably isn't for you. It's obviously intended as a lightweight storyline & set in a picturesque seaside village with some good music & was a welcome distraction during all the seriousness of Covid crisis/lockdown. I agree with another reviewer's comment that it's similar to the 'Seachange' series which was HUGELY popular in Australia. If you're looking for something easy and enjoyable to binge to during lockdown then I'd recommend it..

Great scenery, fun and probably predictable story and nice looking people. I want something that's fun to watch, especially when the world has its many complications and this is a nice getaway.
