The Serpent is a quality show.  Another example of a person getting away with horrible acts as they prey on a group of people who weren't really cared about much at the time.

I enjoyed it too but he was a true narcissist without giving too much away at the end..

on zero zero zero. I know it's from the makers of Gomorrah but are they connected? do you need to have have watched Gomorrah first?

If I hadn't already watched Gomorrah before trying a few episodes of Zero, I never would have. 

Gomorrah's great.  Zero is pretty poor fare.  Even Gabriel Byrne is mailing it in.

Bloodlands was alright last night. Nesbitt's overacting on the island was a bit strange but it has a bit of potential.

Charlene McKenna seems dead on but jesus she'd give the Priest with most boring voice a run for his money in Fr Ted!

Zero was threatening to turn into a good show but just couldn't get there. Still glad i watched it but not fussed if they don't do another season.

Got as far as episode 3 then couldn't find another episode with subtitles... sounds like I'm not misssing out on much but I had thought it was interesting enough.

I thought the acting in general was woeful.
Decent storyline though.
Anyone remember Charlene McKenna in Pure Mule? It was a great show and she was brilliant in it.

More or less what you said, acting completely crap. I don't like Nesbitt at all these days.

If she's a McKenna, likely she'd be from Glaslough which doesn't count as being pure Monaghan due to an unfortunate proximity with Tyrone.

She is from Glaslough. I take back what I said about her being from Monaghan.

Shock news -- RTE  does the right thing, Tommy T's show gains a reprieve and is extended for another 6 shows.

Hard to think of anything better at the minute he's very good at reading people and making a connection.

His interview with Brenda Fricker is one of the most interesting interviews I've ever seen!!
