OK, actors were pretty good. Especially the main actress. The Lenny character was overplayed. THe other females were somewhat forgettable.
The main gang leader was somewhat typical, nasty but so erudite.
I had trouble with the main male actor who owned the fish plant. He was the spitting image of the singer Michael Buble and that made it hard for me to accept him as real. I kept expecting him to sing.
Story was pretty good. Well paced. But the ending was cut short and we were left to guess how things concluded. It was as if there was another Series in the works and we would have to watch it to find out how everyone fared. In future. That was the worst part of the Series.
One thing that bothers me is that so many of these Irish productions are all crime based, violent and gritty, often with ties to the IRA history. It leave me with a desire to NOT visit Ireland in future. It all seems so bleak, not withstand that the countryside and ocen views are often lovely.
Finally, I woder how many drug smugglers will look to this movie as a guide to hiding drugs? The method of hiding them for transportation was very sneaky.

Very well paced, gripping, suspenseful series!
Very good actors. Good production values. Good cinematography.
Grabs you at the beginning and never lets go. Definitely a "good watch".
No flashbacks (that so many UK/BBC series are, unfortunately, so fond of).
No sex. Almost no drinking or smoking! Unbelieveable!
OK, this could be classified as a Disaster Movie, Apocalyptic, Message or Action movie.
Certainly lots of each.
OK, the story is unreal and even features a rich, messianic bad guy who seems willingto kill everyone, governments and countries because they haven't paid sufficient attentionto global warming, climate change, use of fossil fuels etc. Somehow he has managed to develop thousands of followers who will foster world-wide chaos. Geez!
The main characters (an Oil scientist, his wife, daughter and blind son) provide the "personal" part of the series. Their problems fit into the story quite well, rather than just being some thrown-in stuff to provide moments of personal anguish.
There are a few stupid, unrealistic moments but you just have to groan or laugh and then move on, just as you do with other movies of this ilk.
Finally, the weakest episode is the last when the series's heavy-handed "message" to the world is stressed and, of course, thec "bad guy" gets what you expect him to get.

Selected it because I like Toni. What a mistake!
Episode 1 did intrigue but, it was all downhill after that.
The story was incomprehensible for multiple reasons. So bloody many flashbacks, but made so worse when the characters when young had no similarity in appearance when they were older. Not even close!
The story flip flopped so much that it was almost impossible to figure out who did what and when. Even why!
Far too long. Too many episodes that were filled with useless scenes.
Probably the most confusing series I have watched in years.
And, the acting wasn't good. Even Toni was off her game.
Also, some silly things. Like one actress wearing the same t-shirt and jeans for many episodes that supposedly covered many days.
Stinky!
