It's a backdrop of a quiet and rather alcoholic-fuelled quaint Irish town which is very beautiful and old. A romantic setting against an unromantic script and storyline!
A romance of journalism and morbality is the concept. A local paper hires a young up-and-comer called 'Elvira Clancy'; played by Siobhán Cullen; whose job is to write the local obituary pages!
Yes there is a speficied job for just the Obitruary pages! This seems obsurd to me as journalists normally cover more than just one criteria.
Still it sets the scene for the grim outlook and the script unravels. Her boss; Hughie Burns; played by David Ganly; has no idea of her actual goings-on. He's happy with the literature quest except until he can't afford to keep her on staff due to finance problems.
This is an ongoing issue for small print local journalism. It's very hard to keep afloat and financially ticking-over. So many printed newspapers don't last. They rely on local businesses to sustain them with advertising revenue.
Then the story goes insane with a LOT of twists and if I mentioned those it would be giving the gist away. I enjoyed the show and it was a nice pace. It was dark and witty and the humour was throughout.
It's a descent show and refreshing compared to some garbage on tv these days. A solid 7/10! Great to see the lead protagonist being a women as well when so many of these dark roles are played by men!

I have watched this after watching the Bodkin series with the same lead actress, and it feels somewhat connected in spirit - not plot-wise, but more like in sense of characters and general setting. Which is actually a good thing, as I've enjoyed the atmosphere.
Overall, I think it's a great little show that hopefully gets a continuation. There's a lot to like about it - distinct characters, significant backstory development, coherent storyline throughout the season, smart and sharp narrative and great cast doing great job. I did thoroughly enjoy it.
There are certain downsides, mostly in the general story and uneven decisions taken in the plot - not too serious, but some lines felt left dangling and some stories untold or rushed. But it's well worth viewing overall.

This series is so, well, very Irish - in the best possible ways. Yes, the series is grey, as noted by the previous reviewer and it fits the mood not just of the title of the series, but of the town and the lives therein.
And then things start poppin when the editor of the town newspaper changes things up. That one sentence flips the towns' world and we get to view all the twists and turns along with all the shadows and learn all townspeople secrets.
Great characters and story lines. The cinematography is subtle, like the colors of the winter sea and landscape.
If you want flashy - this isn't the one. If you want subtly funny and smart - give this one a go. You just might enjoy it!

I love it! It's like the female version of Dexter, just not as bloody. Superb acting across the board! The storyline was well thought out & kept me interested every minute. It's a dark & compelling series with twists and turns.
Siobhán Cullen stars as Elvira, the main character & does a great job of maintaining her demeanor as a dark, almost soulless person. Like Dexter, Elivera still has a good side as well.
It's listed as a "dark comedy" but there's not that much comedy involved. Although there were a few scenes that did make me laugh. All in all I recommend the series & am anxious for another season!!

Loved this series so much. It was so funny in a dark Irish way, well acted, so enjoyable, such a refreshing change to all the mundane boring series that have been on lately. This series is something completely different. We binged this over 2 days and we wished we had made it last longer. It has the lead actress out of Bodkin another great Irish series. If you live the the Irish sense of humour this is a show for you. I loved the beautiful scenery. What a great series I do hope there will be a second one as there is definitely more to work with. If you want to be entertained Obituary is for you!
