Kin

[Dec A Wash]

I am surprised that this tv series has not been discussed on this site. For my part, I have thoroughly enjoyed it to date with the current season (Season 2) being particularly good. The release of the character Bren Maguire (played by Francis Magee) from jail has added a lot to the plot. He is the ultimate scumbag.

What does anybody else think of Kin and its characters?

For an Irish production I think its very good. A lot of home produced films and series are very underated, but I think we deserve credit for producing them.

I deliberately haven't watched "Love Hate" or "Kin" as the radio news gives me my daily fill of scumbags. I like one off movies with scumbags but not soap operas. I have stacks of Love Hate DVDs in stock (for resale) and never feel tempted to watch any of them

Each to their own as they say. I thought Love-Hate was the ultimate template for what Irish crime dramas should be like. Every one since then, including Kin, has been compared with Love-Hate.

Really enjoying Kin so far. I thought Sam Keeley played the Eric/Viking character brilliantly - all that macho swagger hiding insecurity etc. Then the Bren character appeared. Francis Magee is excellent and plays a really repellent role; menacing, violent, hateful, and creepy all at the same time. My missus can barely watch him!

The second series of Kin is a step up from the first.

Bren is very menacing. I love the way he breaks a bottle off the barman's head, a proper old skool fighting method.

Anna and Nikita are played by poor actors.

Amanda and Birdy very good.

I think it's good anyway

A bit arty-farty for my liking,but not excessively to point it's unwatchable

Its not bad. By no means a classic. But its a cut above what RTE normally produce

[Setanta]

Some ending

[DeletedUser]

That was bloody good tonight!!!!

The last episode of Season 2 is tonight. I am looking forward to this.

[Dec A Wash]

It didn't disappoint!

[Setanta]

I taught it was a bit of a damp squid the episode,mostly predictable compared to previous episodes,but well worth watching all the same.....looking forward to hopefully another season of it

As mentioned above the last episode wasn't great. But overall it was an enjoyable watch and set up nicely for a 3rd series

I enjoyed the second series a lot, mainly thanks to Bren who I thought was a powerful character. He'll be a big loss in the third series.

Just watch it already it was pretty good . The wire was about scumbags too but was probably the best show ever made.
