Domhnall Gleeson and Brian Gleeson in Frank of Ireland (2021)

Review by robot-dog

Frank of Ireland

8/10

Don't understand why it's so "Marmite"

People who love it really love it, people who hate it really hate it. I'm not quite sure what some people are seeing and others aren't.

While there is one poor episode which didn't engage me, I did come to really like it and would love to see more. It's cleverer than it perhaps looks and it works on different levels and with different types of humour. I do very much appreciate that kind of work over one-note humour.

I'm not going to spoil it for anyone but the finale of the first series is a cracker, and the actual ending is more thought-provoking by far than anything else you usually find in comedy.

Good performances, good jokes, good cast, good locations, some good recurring jokes (with huge potential, and legs).

It's too early to say but I do think this is going to have the same lasting appeal as Father Ted.
