"Moone Boy" is a cute Irish television show...the type that's hard not to like because the characters and plots are so sweet and nice. While I like other Irish shows like "Derry Girls" and "Father Ted", this one is quite a different comedy...more character-driven and sweet.
One of the stars of the show is Chris O'Dowd, who plays a little boy's imaginary friend. He also writes and directs some of the episodes as well. And, I love him in "The IT Crowd"....but I also think that "Moone Boy" would STILL be an excellent show if he wasn't acting in it. It isn't that he is bad in any way....he's quite good. But the characters and writing are so good that the show would still be very good whether or not he's in the shows.
Overall, a nice slice of life comedy that's hard not to dislike. Too bad they only had three short seasons...like too many Irish TV shows. And, too bad the final episode was a terrific downer!
