I was looking forward to this show, I'm from Dublin, I know all the locations especially the Church as it's the one I grew up going to.
This was written for a North American audience not an Irish or European one. It is painfully slow getting the story across, to the point that with a week between each episode you will most likely forget what happened the previous week. (Binge watching would be a good plan and make it a far better experience)
The writers obviously don't know many Irish Women, certainly none from Dublin! They are shown as subservient which believe me is the furthest thing from the truth, the vast majority of Dublin Women are far stronger than the Men in their lives. It covers every demographic possible and to be honest doesn't do very good job of it.
Despite my negative comments, I think it will turn out to be a good Show. The Cast are great and some legendary Actors do a great portrayal given the script. I've wait until episode 5 to write this, it would have been easy to make a judgment after watching the First episode but I wanted to give it a chance.
It is worth watching but, by the same token you won't be rushing home to watch it.
