I really looked forwards to this series, as it appeared to follow in the footsteps of other great productions based in rural Ireland. And it most ways it didn't disappoint - a cast of misfit characters whose back stories gradually unwound as the series progressed, a murder-mystery plot that twisted and turned with each episode, and of course the glorious and very well-observed setting in the Irish south-west.
So this should have been a no-brainer, this should have earned a much higher rating! I'd have liked to rate it higher....but I found the constant assault of profanity too wearing, and needless. It's OK to swear a few times, for effect, but when it's incessant, it's wearing, and feels like poor script-writing?
