I am from the states and I stumbled upon this show on Netflix after watching the show "People Just Do Nothing". I used to have a friend who lived in rural Ireland in the 2000s and the stories he told me seemed very accurate to what is portrayed in this show. I see many people calling this Irelands version of the Trailer Park Boys, but in all honesty I think it's better. You will probably want subtitles your first run through the show it's easier.
It's about a small town group of friends who have drinking and drugs as the only things to do and scheme to make quick money. This show is relatable, it's a group of men in their 20s-30s in a small rural town grappling with the changing world around them and wanting to see what's past their small town and that mentality. Eddie Durkan is the main character and deals with that during a good run of the show. Owen Colgan is hilarious in his portrayal of Buzz, Eddie's best friend who deals with similar issues and finding women. There's also his friend French Toast, he often struggles with kicking the habit of drinking and partying, but they all have each other at the end of the day. Characters like Simcard, The Boo, and Salmon are funny in their own way. Francis aka the Viper is the antagonist in this show, but his funny one liners will have you rooting for him at times too.
This show is one of my favorites to watch as background noise a good comfort show. After watching the series on Netflix I checked our the movie on Amazon prime and the web series and it's all great content. I hope more comes out and they have more seasons.
