Well years since I saw it but it is was back then IMO powerful and witty. Be interesting to have another look back now and see if it had aged well.

I see Roddy Doyle's "Family" is up on YouTube. Probably the best Irish drama series ever made, no, definitely the best, as I really can't think of any other contenders, although Pure Mule is also pretty good.

It may have its fans but it's not in the same league as the two I mentioned above.

Family is 20 years old this year along with Ray Houghton's goal, the ceasefire, Riverdance, Rock & Roll Kids and Zombie! Ireland was a nation on the cusp of a tiger back then!
Who's a bit of a moaning Michael tonight!

re Ray Donovan. Really enjoy the show. Season 2 is better than season 1. Watched episode 7 there last night and would never dream of giving ought away, but it was classic TV. Absolutely brilliant. IMDb has scored it 9.7/10. Some craic

I'm really enjoying Fargo. Six episodes in. Well written, good plot, engaging situations. I've nothing to say about the acting, as I'm still in my "actors are cattle", anyone can do it mode. Though I don't see where people are getting the "Freeman ruins it" attitude I've seen expressed. I quite like his performance and he does the Minnesota-area accent very well. (For a bullock.)
