It was almost too easy.
On Kin Season 1 Episode 8, Amanda takes over as head of the Kinsella crime family and becomes one of Dublin's most powerful -- and dangerous -- people.
But for Amanda to rise, others had to fall.
The power dynamic has shifted. Amanda is the one making the decisions now. Her evolution has been the most satisfying through-line of the season.
The scene between Amanda and Eamon is easily one of the best in the series. Two power players negotiate, neither one willing to compromise until they finally come to terms.
It's thrilling to watch two incredible actors tackle a scene like this. Not only that, but it's satisfying to see Eamon give Amanda her due, respect her game, and treat her as an equal.
I'm negotiating. You're a businessman. You know how it works.

It's a fight to stay alive, now.
On Kin Season 1 Episode 7, the Kinsellas weigh their options for survival, potentially fracturing.
Amanda is determined to get what she wants at any price.
I'm your solicitor, not your therapist.

Sam Keeley is an absolute beast throughout this entire episode. At last, we get the opportunity to see his remarkable range as he encompasses all the different sides of Eric.
His scene in the cell is a brilliant metaphor for the whole family's situation.
Eric is in a small room, with violent death threats coming at him from all sides -- but he can't see where they are coming from. He can only rage, pound the walls, and fight back. He doesn't know if his cries will do any good, but he knows he can't just sit there and take it.

Clare Dunne's Amanda Kinsella has taken the world on her shoulders after her son's death.
She's tried alternatively to get vengeance and seek retribution for those responsible while also protecting the family and their business interests.
Kin Season 1 Episode 6 will find Amanda confronting Frank (Aidan Gillen), the head of the Kinsella family.
She has the hope he will turn in Eric (Sam Keely), freeing the family from some of their more precarious binds.
The family is in a death grip with Ciarán Hinds's Eamon, and he's not playing around.
If something doesn't give, there will be a huge price to pay, as Amanda sees it.
In this exclusive clip, Amanda tries to get Frank on board with the prospect of turning Eric into the authorities.
It was always going to be a hard sell for Frank to give up Eric.
Amanda goes for it anyway, facing off against Frank,...

It's not looking good for the Kinsellas.
On Kin Season 1 Episode 4, it seems like they are being caught out at every turn.
Eamon Cunningham has them cornered, but they can't back down -- all they can do is fight back.
The walls are closing in. The shots are getting closer up. Michael even gets put in a coffin-like Mri machine -- this had better not be foreshadowing!
Amanda: Jesus Christ, Jimmy. Can we just have a break from all this for one night?
Jimmy: That's the thing. There is no fucking break from this. This is it until it's over.
Permalink: There is no fucking break from this. Added: September 28, 2021
Amanda seems more out of sorts than normal. Mind you; she's just had to say goodbye to her other son, Anthony.
Amanda's scene with Michael felt out-of-character and off-putting. It wasn't clear what she was trying to do or convey exactly.

It's all about family on Kin Season 1 Episode 1.
These days, for a crime drama to set itself apart from the rest, the characters and relationships have to be deeply compelling because it ups the stakes of the action. If the characters care about each other, we care about them. Such is the case with Kin.
The love on display within the Kinsella family stands in sharp contrast to the sordid business in which they deal -- drugs, violence, murder, money laundering, and God knows what else.
Kin boasts a tight-knit ensemble cast of Irish power players. The acting is superb and grounded, but with this cast, that's to be expected.
Charlie Cox is Michael, the most subdued member of the Kinsella family, fresh out of prison.
Why Michael was locked up remains a mystery, but I suspect it has something to do with the conspicuously absent mother of his daughter.

Starting this Thursday on AMC+, Maria Doyle Kennedy will be seen as Birdie Kinsella in the new Irish crime series, Kin.
Kennedy has been charming audiences since her debut in the movie The Commitments. Her television roles are downright iconic at this point, including her role as Queen Catherine of Aragon on The Tudors, Siobhan "S" Sadler on Orphan Black, and Jocasta Cameron on Outlander.
On Kin, she's Bridget "Birdie" Goggins, one of the sprawling Kinsella family, who run a Dublin drug syndicate.
We managed to catch a few minutes with her to talk about the show, which features a superb cast, including Charlie Cox, Aidan Gillen, Claire Dunne, Ciaran Hinds, and Emmett Scanlan.
There is another highly-acclaimed show set in Dublin about the drug trade, Love/Hate, but Kennedy says that it won't be difficult for Kin to make its own mark on the audience.

Irish gang drama Kin, premiering September 9 on AMC+, unveiled a deadly first trailer and key art for the series today.
The clip zeroes in on a devastating war that has begun by a murder in a family where loyalty is paramount.
Starring Charlie Cox, Clare Dunne (Herself), Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones), and Ciarán Hinds, Kin charts the lives of the Kinsellas, a small but tight-knit crime family embroiled in a war against a powerful drug kingpin, Eamon Cunningham (Hinds).
A boy is killed and his family embark on a gangland war with an international cartel – a war that is impossible to win.
It’s David and Goliath. Out-numbered, out-financed and out-gunned, the Kinsellas find themselves holed up in their Dublin stronghold while their businesses fail, and family members and associates are picked off.
But they have something the cartel does not: the unbreakable bonds of blood and family.
