Kicker Viewing
10 October 2022
I waited to watch the whole series before commentating as, I have been stung before by being negative in regards to a series, without giving it time to develop. This series took time however, the time was worth it.

The storyline is good, it deals with modern themes, and involves cross border police co-operation. A commentator made a point of this, based on nothing. In Ireland, cross border policing has being in place since 1922, and European cross border policing has been in place, since 1923, (Interpol).

The only actor I knew was Sinead Cusack yet, that didn't make any difference to my viewing. In the past number of years, even during Covid; Ireland has burst out onto the International stage with drama series that give a run for the money, against other countries that have been to the forefront, for decades.

I'm Irish therefore, I could be partisan, I'm not. We're world renowned for being funny yet, we couldn't write a sitcom to save our lives. Drama is our forte, and this is the latest in what we can write and produce.

The fact there has been a collaboration with an unexpected country (source) says something. The fact that previous drama series from this little country over the past few years, have now been shown on all continents of the world, shows that we have a punch.

Oh, and some of them have been nominated for International Awards, unheard of before now. That usually is reserved for BBC, ITV, CH4, etc.

The finale is some kicker. I expected a resolution, with loose ends tied up. What an ending.....
