New comedy thriller from the creator of Derry Girls
Anyone watching, anyone enjoying?
Watched three and a half of them and then stopped
Started it, then stopped to watch Derry Girls with the kids. Just finished DG, so fecking good.
So, in answer to your question, watched half the first ep…

Seems silly
I’m at the same point and very much engaged!
Just finished episode 7 because my wife wants to finish it but I’m very much checked out since about episode 3. Just find it absolutely painful, especially the rubber faced woman and the 90s chart hits shoehorned into every single scene.
I find almost every TV show about Northern Ireland toe-curlingly awful. Derry Girls was one of the few that managed to rise about that but this new series is right back in the doldrums
Got all the way through over 3 nights found it an easy watch
Enjoyed it would like a 2nd series, I fancy the woman playing Saoirse

The hits are getting a bit much but i think all the main cast are excellent and very fun/funny
Oh my other gripe was that Sagres was definitely not Sagres, looked like Malta to me. Why not just have it as Malta, it being Portugal didn’t seem to have a point could have been Scarborough for the plot.
The best bit was when Ardglass, the small Northern Irish fishing village where my granny lived, was used as b roll for Knockdara. This was me when the street she lived off popped up

Pushed the surrealism angle a bit much at times I think but overall a decent show I think
Though at times it was a bit offensive with the paddywhackery, I wonder was Netflix pushing that shite?
Watched 4 eps anyway and really enjoying it, laugh out loud quite a lot, really fun energy between the characters, some great accents. Will see how it unfolds after this
Feels quite like Yellowjackets when it was good also, especially when we get the young/old timeline split
finished, and thought it was a really good time. Been a while since a show like that made me laugh as much, and there was some damn good chemistry between the cast. Deeply/worryingly fancied Saoirse-Monica Jackson in that role too
ending was a bit rushed as these things nearly always are, feels like they needed a longer last episode or just one more ep to explore some of the details as the revelations just came a bit thick and fast at the end there. Did really like what “the order” or whatever was revealed to be, made total sense but I also didn’t see it a mile off so was a nice surprise to realise their true intents (… or at least the original good intentions)
Will watch the inevitable S2 they seemed to be setting up

Just finished the first episode, but I think I’ll stop it there unfortunately!
