I watched the UK version and found it genuinely hilarious - smart, unpredictable, and full of proper laugh-out-loud moments.

I was excited for the Irish version, but it's been a real struggle to get through. The pacing feels off, the jokes don't land, and the chemistry just isn't there. The fact that contestants are getting carded for barely a smile says it all. It's just not funny, and honestly, the humour feels forced compared to how effortlessly funny the UK one was.

I really wanted to enjoy this, but it just missed the mark for me. A disappointing attempt that falls flat in almost every way.

I appreciate that it's made by the people who experienced the abuse at these "schools" first hand, however, they should've gotten at least some help from professionals as the way the story unravels is all over the place and I as a viewer was pulled in and out of the storyline. It jumps from one thing to another then circles back and you lose the thread.

The people responsible that they speak to are never held accountable either, like Siss or the PR/priest guy, and the girls give up very easily.

It was an interesting concept and definitely important for people to know about this, just think it could've been delivered better!

You mean to tell me that despite his pensioner age, Leatherface is somehow still in the best shape, butchering people left and right, maneuvering that chainsaw like it doesn't weigh anything? Not once have I seen his back give out or heard his knees crack. Very unrealistic, 2/10.
