I stuck with the series all the way and through enjoyed the writing and acting. The storyline kept my attention and I looked forward to the next spot with. Woody is a hoot. He would get my award for supporting actor. The entire staff did a wonderful job. The location of the community out in New Zealand also made it an attractive place. New Zealanders are lovely people. A casting director should also receive an award for picking people who really got into their role. I've looked at some series but not always to the end because the writers seemed to be searching and as a result the storyline gets lost.

And funny...the writing is great...acting superb. So many movies a trite. This movie is not.

As the son of a parent from Donegal, I found it very interesting. There should have been more film of Inishowen. Just the title of Buncrana and an odd picture of some sites along with a limited map was inadequate. He became a loyalist to the Queen of England. From wikipedia: Sir Cahir Rua O'Doherty Irish: Cathaoir O Dochartaigh or Cataoir O Docartaig; 1587-5 July 1608 was the last Gaelic Chief of the Name of Clan O'Doherty and Lord of Inishowen, in what is now County Donegal. O'Doherty was a noted loyalist during Tyrone's Rebellion and became known as the Queen's O'Doherty for his service on the Crown's side during the fighting. After the war O'Doherty had ambitions to become a courtier and applied for a position in the household of Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales, but he increasingly came into dispute with Irish-based officials such as the Viceroy Sir Arthur Chichester and the Governor of Derry Sir George Paulet. In 1608 he launched O'Doherty's Rebellion, seizing Derry from Paulet and burning it to the ground. O'Doherty was subsequently killed in a battle at Kilmacrennan, and the rebellion swiftly collapsed.
