When will American and British directors learn that there are decent, authentic Irish actors? The story of Daniel O'Connell needs to be told and so when I saw the film The Liberator, I watched it as soon as I was free. I was disappointed within the first few minutes when I realised that it was close to an all American cast, most of which didn't even attempt an Irish accent and those that did, failed miserably. It would have been much more powerful if they used Irish actors. Or at least used actors with the ability to act with an Irish accent. Perhaps they tried but as they brushed over the pain and misery of the great hunger, no Irish actors wanted to play any part in the movie? Maybe they thought that an American audience wouldn't be able to understand Irish accents? Well then get some actors to do an American English version to dub over the original if needed but just feel this film, this story would be so much better told by Irish people. Very disappointing.

It says on here that Season 2 came out in February 24 but came out in Ireland in March 23. The good thing about that is that Season 3 has already been filmed last summer, so I'm looking forward to seeing it. Maybe will be shown Christmas time? Who knows?

It's about a fictitious crime family in Dublin, the Kinsella's. Their business..... drugs. All the greed and violence that comes with it. Not only do they have to watch out fir rival drug gangs, even on an international scale but plenty of backstabbing and disloyalty amongst the family itself.

Good to watch and makes you want to binge watch it. Not that the bbc finally have it means it's available for free on iPlayer.

I was gutted when I saw them advertising a "new" series as I'd already seen season 2 but glad there's a 3rd series at least and looking forward to seeing it and maybe more.

I'm a big fan of Julie Walters. Don't make the same mistake as I did and watch this film. An attempt at comedy that didn't come close to making me laugh once. Very disappointing.
