Thoughts on the Kin finale?
Haven't seen it yet but I'm sure nrico2006 will be along shortly with plenty of spoilers.

Wouldn't take a rocket scientist to predict how Kin was going to end.

Kin was an awful show. Poorly acted (lots of overacting) and full of plot holes. Not a patch on Love/Hate.

The actor who played Kem was as bad as I have ever saw in a proper show/film.

Was that the finale? Christ.

Wouldnt be raving about the show.  I'll watch the next series though of course  ::)

I thought it was a load of sh*te and if it was set in America i doubt I'd have watched the 2nd episode.

Kin was poor but the ending kinda leaves some scope for improvement. Definitely not Love/Hate. Reminds me stylistically of the Dublin Murders series,  which was also dung.

An Watcher

Poor enough series but thought that was a decent ending.  Hopefully the second series will be an improvement

It wasn't great, but Dublin Murders was very disappointing, Kin was merely "Meh".
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

The ending was very basic and predictable though when you look at it, maybe expected something smarter or with a bit more action at least.

Hard to talk about Kin when you watch the latest episode of Succession. It was class!!

Great show so well written and acted it's hotting up nicely!

Was deadly tonight. The characters are so dislike-able but compelling. Was of the best shows I've ever seen

Watched both series of Guilt over the weekend (BBC Scotland / iplayer), excellent, S1 was very good, S2 developed into something great, highly recommended.

Good god, I had thought his name was Ken the whole way through. Come to think about it, didn't really look like a Ken
