Dublin Murders

To the person who reviewed this and didn't even watch it. You base your review on the plot description, you people are ruining IMBd for everyone else. Please don't review titles if you have not even watched it. Good start to this show.

I have watched over 30 Such Shows. They all share common things apart from murder and mystery. This was no different with vulnerable cops with a past and ties to murder investigation. Starts off as a regular who killed the Girl found in the woods. Then after 1st Episode just drags on. Past, Demons inside Head, etc. There are some really good moments in between but something seems off. Show really redeems itself in last 2 Episodes. To an extent that there is a Shock value and disbelief coupled by some really great acting. Good editing could have made it a more compact 6 Episodes. Its the last 2 hours that make the show worth watching. Production Values are good. Acting is top notch. The Police Chief(Varys from GoT) is excellent. There's tonnes of Irish-English banter and some cracking one-liners. The atmosphere is mostly dark. The leads pull off a good performance but the lady cop character is bit off a let down. Apart from that Show is worth watching if you know how to skip meaningless content in between

Irish folklore: check Whodunnit: check Complex characters: check Twisty romance: check Cop banter: check Awesome accents: double check

This was really good, watch it - don't listen to the negative reviews.

It's a very complex, multi layered mystery, there are lots of strands, and lots of jumping back in forth in time, so don't think you can watch this and fiddle with your phone, you have to concentrate as you could easily lose it.

It isn't going to be for everyone, because it is dark, it's bleak, and does contain some very tough to watch scenes. It has been criticised for being ambiguous, but I would argue that all loose ends are tied up, the last scene provides a lot of answers.

The only real dip comes in Part 6, the only episode I didn't like, the best, the following episode, as so often, it's the penultimate episode that I enjoyed most of all.

Terrific acting, Sarah Greene and Killian Scott are both incredible, they are well supported by a great cast.

I'm someone that always loves a continuation of a series, but in this instance I'd be disappointed if they brought it back, this needs to be left alone. Gripping, 8/10

This series started out really strong with great character development and an intriguing and unique story line.

That plot remains interesting throughout, however, about half way through the series a second story line is introduced that runs concurrently. I found it very silly and unnecessary with the need to completely suspend belief. The links between the two stories was weak.

It wasn't a bad show, just some poor decision making to combine two seperate book storyline's into one series that took some of the shine off its appeal.

Overall I would score it 6.5 out of 10. It would have been a 7 had there been more focus..
